How this service works
Agent utilities for company research, package maintenance intelligence, dependency vulnerability checks, counterparty availability, SEC company snapshots, OFAC sanctions screening, and deterministic JSON/CSV data-quality work. Company domain intelligence includes a free preview before the paid enrichment call.
Output
Returns a JSON object containing the normalized query name, a list of SDN match candidates (with OFAC source metadata), a boolean matches_found flag, and informational warnings reminding the caller that results are not a legal compliance determination. If no matches are found, candidates is an empty array.
Example use cases
Pre-payment vendor sanctions check
“Before we pay this new supplier 'Orion Trade Group' in Iran, can you screen them against the OFAC SDN list to make sure they're not sanctioned?”
New customer onboarding compliance
“We're onboarding an individual named 'Dmitri Volkov' — can you run an OFAC sanctions screen on him as an individual to make sure he's not on the SDN list?”
Vessel screening before cargo booking
“We're about to book cargo on the vessel 'Silver Star' — can you check it against the OFAC SDN list as a vessel before we finalize the contract?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://hermes-counterparty-api.onrender.com/v1/entity-sanctions-screenWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a fast, cheap ($0.02), automated OFAC SDN pre-screen for a named counterparty — individual, company, vessel, or aircraft — before initiating a payment, onboarding a customer, or signing a contract. It is especially useful in agentic workflows that need programmatic sanctions gating without calling a full KYC platform. Not a substitute for legal compliance review, but sufficient for automated first-pass due diligence.
