## 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 vellum-sec-risk-flags-bd18252c
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the SEC risk flags for Tesla — check for late filings, recent 8-Ks, negative income, or liabilities above assets over the last 90 days?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a fast, deterministic boolean/flag-style risk screen on a company's SEC filing history — specifically for late filings, amendments, 8-K signals, negative income, or balance sheet insolvency indicators. Prefer this over narrative SEC research endpoints (like vellum-sec-research or vellum-filing-brief) when you want structured, machine-readable risk flags rather than full filing details or prose summaries. Ideal for portfolio screening, pre-trade checks, or triage before deeper due diligence.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown ticker or CIK returns a not-found or empty result
- Days parameter outside 7-730 range may return a validation error
- No SEC filings found in the lookback window returns empty flags
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns 402 or 429 error
- EDGAR data lag may cause recent filings to be missing

## How this service works

Deterministic SEC risk flags: late filing notices, amendments, recent 8-K activity, negative income and liabilities above assets.

## Output

A structured set of deterministic risk flags derived from SEC filings, including indicators for late filing notices, filing amendments, recent 8-K events, negative net income, and cases where total liabilities exceed total assets — each flag clearly labeled with supporting context.
