## 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-essentials-de-german-company-verification-cf7a24b2 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you run a KYB check on 'Siemens AG' — I need to verify their German company registration and compliance status before we sign a contract with them.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to verify or gather structured compliance data specifically on German-registered companies. Prefer this over generic web search when you need audit-trail-backed, structured JSON output suitable for KYB regulatory workflows.

## Known failure modes

- Ambiguous company name matches multiple entities — may return first match or require registration number
- Invalid or malformed registration number — returns validation error
- Service unavailable or timeout — HTTP 5xx error
- Payment not processed (x402 payment required) — returns 402 Payment Required
