## 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 compliancepulse-ofac-sanctions-screener-5d141f7c
```

Example prompt: Before I wire money to 'Dmitri Ivanov Trading LLC', can you run a sanctions screen against the OFAC SDN and Consolidated lists and tell me the match score and any matching programs or aliases?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a deterministic, live OFAC SDN and Consolidated list check against a specific name — especially when fuzzy matching on aliases and transliterations is required. Prefer this over generic KYC APIs when you need official OFAC row data verbatim (programs, SDN uid, remarks) rather than a simple pass/fail. Ideal for pre-payment counterparty screening, onboarding KYC checks, and AML workflows that require an auditable sanctions result.

## Known failure modes

- Name not found on any OFAC list — returns zero matches with score 0
- Ambiguous transliteration yields multiple low-confidence hits — agent should review all returned rows
- OFAC list temporarily unavailable — endpoint may return 503 or stale-data error
- Overly short or common name (e.g. 'Ali') produces many false-positive matches requiring manual review
- Payment not processed (x402) — endpoint returns 402 Payment Required before screening occurs

## How this service works

Is this person or company sanctioned? Screens a name against the live US Treasury OFAC SDN and Consolidated (non-SDN) lists — sanctions screening, watchlist check, KYC/AML pre-check, counterparty screening before a payment. Fuzzy-matches primary names AND every OFAC alias, so transliteration and word-order variants still hit. Deterministic: no LLM. Returns official OFAC rows verbatim (programs, SDN uid, remarks) with a 0-100 match score.

## Output

Returns official OFAC list rows for any fuzzy-matched hits, including the SDN uid, sanctions programs, all matched aliases, remarks, and a 0-100 match confidence score indicating how closely the queried name aligns with each result.
