## 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 zinin-m2m-hub-litigation-check-c6b45f60 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you check if Tesla, Inc. has any federal court cases on record — I need a list of their lawsuits, how many total, and links to the dockets?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to quickly check US federal court litigation history for a named company, especially for due diligence, compliance screening, or competitive research workflows. It is purpose-built for party-name searches against PACER dockets via CourtListener and returns structured case metadata ready for agent consumption. Prefer this over manual PACER searches or general web searches when you need reliable, structured, paginated federal docket data at low cost per query.

## Known failure modes

- Company name not found in PACER dockets returns found:false with caseCount:0
- Ambiguous or partial company names may return unrelated cases or miss matches
- CourtListener API downtime may cause request failure or timeout
- Very common company names may return an extremely large and noisy case list
- Only US federal courts are covered — state court cases will not appear
