## 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 globalapi-sanctions-check-191e29b6
```

Example prompt: Can you run a sanctions check on Acme Trading Ltd before we proceed with the wire transfer — I need to know if they appear on any international watchlists like OFAC or the UN Security Council list?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need pay-per-call, no-subscription sanctions screening without managing API keys — ideal for low-frequency compliance checks, automated onboarding pipelines, or agent-driven AML workflows where cost predictability matters and $0.10 USDC per call is acceptable.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or malformed entity query parameter returns a 400 error
- Entity name too ambiguous to screen returns low-confidence or no results
- Payment of 0.1 USDC not received or rejected returns 402 Payment Required
- Sanctions database temporarily unavailable returns 503
- Rate limiting or network timeout returns 429 or 504
