## 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 eu-sanctions-list-screener-fisma-5d8faca5
```

Example prompt: Can you screen 'Viktor Ivanov' as a person against the EU consolidated sanctions list with a similarity threshold of 0.75 and return up to 10 matches — I need to know if he's listed and under which sanction programme?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need fuzzy name-matching against the official EU FISMA consolidated sanctions list specifically, with similarity scoring and sanction programme context. Prefer this over generic OFAC or UN sanctions APIs when EU regulatory compliance is the requirement. Ideal for KYC/KYB onboarding flows, AML screening pipelines, or compliance checks for EU-regulated financial activity.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'name' query parameter returns an error
- Threshold out of 0–1 range may return validation error
- Limit outside 1–50 range may be rejected or clamped
- No matches found returns an empty list (not an error)
- Service unavailable on Render cold start may cause timeout

## How this service works

Screen a name against the official EU consolidated sanctions list (FISMA) for anti-money-laundering (AML) and watchlist checks — returns matches with a similarity score and context (EU reference, type, programme), not a binary yes/no.

## Output

Returns a list of matches from the EU FISMA consolidated sanctions list, each with a similarity score (0–1), the matched name, EU reference identifier, entity type, and the specific sanction programme the match belongs to. Non-binary — returns all matches above the threshold rather than a simple yes/no.
