## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability verifik-ai-company-lookup-8fdea5b2
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the company registration and sanctions screening for 'Acme Global Holdings' using Verifik — I need to know if they're clean for compliance purposes before we proceed with onboarding?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to verify a business entity's legitimacy, run sanctions/AML screening on a company, or retrieve corporate registration data as part of a KYC or compliance workflow. Prefer this over generic web search when you need structured, authoritative compliance-grade company data across multiple countries.

## Known failure modes

- Company not found in the registry — returns empty or 404-style response
- Invalid or missing company identifier — returns validation error
- Country not supported — Verifik coverage is multi-country but not universal
- Payment failure — x402 micropayment of $0.30 USDC not completed
- Rate limiting or quota exceeded — too many requests
- Incomplete schema input — 'properties' field malformed or missing
