## 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 agentwork-sanctions-screening-717dc9ca
```

Example prompt: Can you run a sanctions screen on 'Bank Rossiya' — it's a Russian entity — and tell me if it appears on any international sanctions lists?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs a lightweight, pay-per-call sanctions screen without managing API keys or subscriptions. Ideal for agentic workflows that need to verify counterparties, individuals, or entities against international sanctions lists (UK, OFAC, EU, etc.) on-demand at $0.01 per call via USDC x402. Best when you need structured match results with scores rather than a full KYC/AML platform integration.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'name' query parameter returns an error
- Unknown or misspelled entity type may reduce match quality
- Names with transliteration variants may produce fuzzy or missed matches
- Service returns a disclaimer that results are a 'screening aid, not legal advice' — not a definitive legal determination
- Payment failure via x402 protocol will block the request
- Very common names may return high false-positive match counts

## How this service works

Web read / URL to markdown (batch, JavaScript rendering), PDF text extraction, website change monitoring, prompt-injection check and sanctions screening for agents. From $0.001 per call on Base. x402 USDC, no API key.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with an 'ok' boolean, a disclaimer label ('screening aid, not legal advice'), a result status (e.g. 'exact_match', 'no_match'), a 'match_count' integer, and a 'matches' array. Each match includes the sanctions list name (e.g. 'UK', 'OFAC'), matched entity name, entity type, a numeric match score (0–1), the match strength ('exact', 'fuzzy'), the matched field (e.g. 'primary_name'), relevant sanctions programs, and a source identifier.
