## 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-lei-lookup-9568d9a4
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the GLEIF record for the company with LEI code 549300MLUDYVRQOOXS22 and tell me its registered name, jurisdiction, and current status?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need authoritative, GLEIF-sourced legal entity data for a company identified by LEI code or name. It is the canonical source for LEI validation and entity identification in financial, regulatory, and KYC workflows. Prefer this over general company registries when the international LEI standard is required (e.g. MiFID II, EMIR, Basel III reporting). The cryptographic audit trail makes it suitable for compliance-sensitive agentic pipelines.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed 20-character LEI code returns an error or empty result
- Company name search may return multiple or zero matches if name is ambiguous
- Lapsed or retired LEI codes may return records but with inactive status
- GLEIF data may be stale if the entity has not renewed its LEI registration
- Neither 'lei' nor 'company_name' provided returns a validation error

## 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 GLEIF LEI record including the 20-character LEI code, legal entity name, registration status (e.g. ISSUED, LAPSED), jurisdiction, entity category, registered address, and associated metadata. Each response also includes a cryptographic audit record with chain hashing for traceability.
