Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 strale-kyb-complete-germany-eb9926a9 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you run a full KYB check on Siemens AG — their domain is siemens.com, VAT number DE811128135, and the contact is Hans Müller at hans.mueller@siemens.com?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a comprehensive, audit-ready KYB report specifically for German companies, combining registry lookup, VAT validation, and PEP screening in a single call with a cryptographic audit trail. Prefer it over individual validation endpoints when onboarding German business partners, vendors, or clients for AML/compliance purposes and you need a defensible audit record.

## Known failure modes

- Company not found in German registry — unrecognized company name or registration number
- Invalid VAT number format — VAT does not match DE prefix or fails checksum
- Domain not associated with company — mismatch between domain and registry data
- PEP screening inconclusive — insufficient contact information provided
- Payment failure — insufficient USDC balance or x402 payment not completed
- Rate limiting or service unavailability — endpoint returns 429 or 503

## How this service works

The trust layer for AI agents — 250+ independently tested data capabilities across 27 countries. Execute capabilities via REST, MCP, A2A, or x402 micropayments. Every call returns an audit record with cryptographic chain hashing.

## Output

Returns a structured KYB report for the German company including official registry data, VAT validation status, PEP screening result for the contact person, email validation, and a cryptographically hashed audit record for compliance documentation.
