## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability sec-edgar-filings-lookup-acd8cdb8 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Pull the last 5 10-K filings for MSFT from SEC EDGAR, and also grab the MD&A section from the most recent one.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need programmatic access to SEC regulatory filings data for US equities — especially for retrieving structured filing lists, insider transaction data, or extracting specific narrative sections (MD&A, risk factors, liquidity) from filings. Prefer this over general web search when you need structured, reliable EDGAR data with section-level extraction rather than unstructured HTML scraping.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown ticker symbol returns an error or empty CIK
- Invalid or inaccessible EDGAR filing URL for 'read' action fails to retrieve content
- Date range with no filings returns empty results
- Unsupported form type returns empty filing list
- max_chars or max_results out of allowed bounds returns validation error
- EDGAR service unavailability causes timeout or upstream error

## How this service works

Look up SEC EDGAR filings for a US equity ticker: recent filings by form type, insider (Form 4) transactions, CIK resolution, or an excerpt of a specific filing's MD&A/risk-factors/liquidity section. Default action returns recent filings.

## Output

Returns a structured response depending on the action: for 'filings', a list of recent SEC filings with metadata (form type, date, URL); for 'insider', a list of Form 4 transactions with insider name, transaction type, shares, and date; for 'cik', the SEC Central Index Key number for the ticker; for 'read', an extracted text excerpt from the specified section (MD&A, risk factors, or liquidity) of a given filing URL.
