Limitations

Search mode returns candidates only — never auto-picks "the" match
Disqualified-officer names are not unique. Search mode deliberately returns a candidate list (name, date of birth, address snippet) rather than guessing which candidate is the subject — misattributing a disqualification finding to the wrong person is a serious error class. Disambiguate using date_of_birth or address, then re-call with the chosen officer_id for full detail.
What to do instead: Always confirm date_of_birth or address before treating a search candidate as a confirmed match
UK only, and only disqualifications on the Companies House public register
Covers formal director disqualifications recorded by UK Companies House / the Insolvency Service. Disqualifications or equivalent sanctions under other jurisdictions' regimes are out of scope.
Requires COMPANIES_HOUSE_API_KEY (existing platform credential, free registration)
Uses the same Companies House API key already provisioned for insolvency-check, [withdrawn], and uk-company-data — no new vendor relationship, but the capability will error without that env var set.
