## 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 hergert-synthora-sanctions-screening-8a6c4c0d -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you run a sanctions check on 'Viktor Anatolyevich Bout' — I need to know if he shows up on the OFAC SDN list or any UN or OpenSanctions list before we proceed with the transaction?

## When to prefer this

Prefer this endpoint when you need multilingual sanctions screening — particularly for names with Cyrillic transliterations — covering all four major lists (OFAC SDN primary, OFAC aliases, UN, OpenSanctions) in a single call. It is well-suited for pay-per-call compliance workflows where you do not want to maintain your own sanctions list infrastructure, and when you need a clear binary MATCH/CLEAR verdict with a payment receipt for audit trails.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or malformed input string returns an error or inconclusive result
- Ambiguous names with many common matches may produce false positives requiring manual review
- List data may have a refresh lag if official sources were not recently downloaded
- Very short or single-token names may yield noisy results
- Network or infrastructure downtime at Las Palmas origin may cause timeout or 5xx error
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC balance) blocks the call with a 402 response
