## 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 cryptops-ai-counterparty-sanctions-check-c76f2c1a
```

Example prompt: Before we send that USDC payment, run a CryptOps sanctions and risk check on the counterparty wallet — I need the risk score and disposition so we know if it should be cleared, held for dual approval, or blocked outright.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need pre-broadcast, non-custodial sanctions and risk screening for crypto treasury payments — specifically when you need a structured risk score, machine-readable disposition (Block/Hold/Clear), dual-control workflow triggers, and a sha256 audit receipt. Prefer this over generic blockchain analytics APIs when you need a compliance-ready audit trail and built-in dual-control hold logic rather than just raw on-chain data.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed wallet address returns an error response
- Unsupported network yields no result or error
- Missing required query parameters returns a 400-style error
- Payment of 0.025 USDC not provided — endpoint returns 402 Payment Required
- Rate limiting or service unavailability returns a 503 or timeout
- Ambiguous counterparty data may produce inconclusive risk scores

## How this service works

Pre-broadcast crypto treasury controls. Risk score, Block / Hold / Clear, dual control, audit trail. Founding Partner Program by application — $250k–$750k / year. Non-custodial.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with: a numeric riskScore (0–100), a disposition string (e.g. HOLD_DUAL_CONTROL, BLOCK, CLEAR), an array of flags indicating triggered risk signals (e.g. tier_2_threshold, new_beneficiary, velocity_spike), the network, a sha256Receipt for audit trail, the protocolToken address, and a nodesPortal URL.
