## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability agent-debarment-check-f1cce082
```

Example prompt: Can you check whether Acme Construction LLC is currently debarred or excluded from federal contracts in SAM.gov?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need programmatic, pay-per-call access to SAM.gov federal exclusions screening without setting up a SAM.gov API key or managing rate limits directly. Ideal for AI agents running automated vendor compliance checks, onboarding workflows, or pre-award verifications where a small per-call cost ($0.12 USDC) is acceptable and SAM.gov direct API integration is not already in place. Prefer over manual SAM.gov portal lookups when integrating debarment checks into automated procurement or vendor management pipelines.

## Known failure modes

- Name too generic returns no match or multiple ambiguous results
- Invalid or malformed UEI (not 12 characters) causes lookup failure
- CAGE code not found in SAM.gov registry returns no result
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC balance or x402 protocol error) blocks the request
- SAM.gov upstream API unavailability causes service errors
- Missing all three identifiers (name, UEI, CAGE) triggers validation error

## How this service works

Check whether a person or company appears on the SAM.gov federal exclusions (debarment) list. Query by name, UEI, or CAGE code. Returns exclusion details and an audit receipt.

## Output

Returns the SAM.gov federal exclusion status for the queried entity, indicating whether they appear on the debarment/exclusions list, along with any relevant matching records from the SAM.gov database including entity name, exclusion type, and related identifiers.
