## 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-risk-assessment-9948af1d -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you run a vendor risk assessment on Acme Corp (domain: acmecorp.com) — I need their compliance status and financial risk signals before we onboard them as a supplier.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a structured, audit-trailed risk assessment combining compliance, financial, and trust signals for a vendor or business partner — especially when the company's domain and name are both known and you need a single consolidated risk verdict rather than individual data-source lookups.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or unresolvable company domain returns 404 or empty risk data
- Invalid or ambiguous company name/CIK/ticker returns validation error
- Upstream data source unavailable causes partial or degraded response
- Payment not processed results in 402 Payment Required
- Malformed input (missing required fields) returns 400 Bad Request
