## 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 agent-ia-api-ofac-sanctions-checker-e3ecbbc0 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you run an OFAC sanctions check on the name 'Viktor Petrov' and tell me if they're on any US Treasury watchlist?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a lightweight, pay-per-call OFAC sanctions screening without a subscription to a full compliance platform. Ideal for low-volume agent workflows, automated onboarding checks, or ad-hoc due diligence on individuals and entities. Choose this over enterprise KYC platforms when cost per query and simplicity matter more than bulk screening or detailed match scoring.

## Known failure modes

- Missing 'nom' field returns a validation error
- Ambiguous or very common names may produce false positives requiring manual review
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC balance) returns HTTP 402
- Empty string name input may return an error or inconclusive result
- Network timeout if OFAC data source is temporarily unavailable
