# corporate_registry_lookup Resolve legal information about a company from its national corporate registry. Returns a normalised, sourced company profile: legal status, registration number, directors, shareholders, recent filings, registered address, share capital, and a quality score (0–100). Coverage: France (INPI, keyless — full SIREN/SIRET with directors), 3M+ entities worldwide via GLEIF LEI (keyless, large companies), UK (Companies House, optional key), Netherlands (KvK, optional key), and OpenCorporates (token required since 2026). Sources are tried in cascade; quality_score increases with each source that succeeds. When to use: due-diligence, KYC screening, supplier verification, M&A research, or any workflow needing verified company identity and legal status. Optional env vars: COMPANIES_HOUSE_API_KEY (UK), KVK_API_KEY (NL), OPENCORPORATES_API_TOKEN (OpenCorporates token). Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `corporate_registry_lookup`.

There are no write, execute, destructive, or financial operations. It queries multiple data sources and normalizes results but does not modify, delete, or trigger external actions. The low severity reflects that misuse (e.g., gathering competitor intelligence) is a business concern but not a technical risk vector. From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states it 'Resolve[s] legal information about a company from its national corporate registry' and 'Returns a normalised, sourced company profile' including 'legal status, registration number, directors, shareholders, recent filings,…" ## Use case AI agents call corporate_registry_lookup to retrieve information from Mcp Knowledge without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Allowed**.
