## 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-vendor-onboarding-b7c9b1c8 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Onboard a new vendor — company name is Acme GmbH, country code DE, VAT number DE123456789, IBAN DE89370400440532013000, and their address is Musterstraße 1, Berlin — run the full trust and compliance check.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to onboard or validate a B2B vendor with trust and compliance checks — especially when you need a cryptographic audit trail for the verification. It is well-suited for procurement automation, AP workflows, and KYB (Know Your Business) pipelines covering 27 countries. Prefer it over generic company lookup APIs when you need combined VAT + IBAN + address validation in a single call with an auditable result.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed IBAN returns a validation error with field-level detail
- Unrecognized country code returns a 400 error listing supported countries
- VAT number format mismatch for the given country returns a format validation failure
- Company not found in official registries returns a partial result with low confidence
- Payment failure via x402 returns a 402 response before processing begins
- Rate limiting or service unavailability returns a 503 with retry guidance

## 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

A structured JSON object containing the validated vendor profile, compliance check outcomes (VAT validity, IBAN verification, address confirmation), a trust score or status, and a cryptographic audit record with chain hash for tamper-evident record-keeping.
