## 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 factstamp-sanctions-screening-3ceeb53c -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Before I wire payment to Mikhail Volkov, can you run a sanctions screen on that name against OFAC SDN, UN, EU, UK, and Australia DFAT lists and tell me whether he shows up as listed, not found, or a mismatch?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need multi-list sanctions screening in a single call with an auditable, structured result — especially when compliance evidence is required (e.g. before a payment, at contract signing, or during KYC onboarding). Prefer this over single-list OFAC APIs when you need EU, UN, UK, or Australian DFAT coverage in one response, or when you need explicit confirmation that a list was consulted (not just absence of a hit).

## Known failure modes

- Name not found on any consulted list — returns not_found with list dates
- Partial name similarity — returns mismatch, not listed, to avoid false positives
- One or more lists unavailable at query time — those lists named as not_consulted rather than silently omitted
- Malformed request body — returns HTTP 400 with validation error
- Payment not received or insufficient — returns HTTP 402 requiring x402 payment
- Unknown status returned when list data is ambiguous or incomplete

## How this service works

Sanctions screening of a name against OFAC SDN and Non-SDN, the UN consolidated list, the EU Financial Sanctions File, the UK Sanctions List and Australia's DFAT list. Relevant before transacting with a party, and wherever a sanctions check must be evidenced. Returns listed, mismatch, not_found or unknown, with the matched entry's reference and each list's dates. A near name is never the same party; a list not consulted is named as not consulted. Not advice, not a legal determination.

## Output

Returns a structured JSON object with an overall status (listed, mismatch, not_found, or unknown), the matched entry's reference if found, and a per-list breakdown including whether each list was consulted and the date of consultation. Near-name matches are flagged as mismatches, not positives. Lists that could not be consulted are explicitly named as not consulted.
