## 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 ofac-sanctions-screen-for-evm-address-285afbda
```

Example prompt: Before I send that USDC payment, can you screen the recipient address 0x742d35Cc6634C0532925a3b8D4C9B7e1f3b2a4d8 against the OFAC sanctions list to make sure it's safe to pay?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a real-time OFAC compliance gate before executing a crypto payment — particularly in automated AI agent payment flows on Base USDC where regulatory compliance must be enforced programmatically. Prefer this over generic reputation scores when you need a hard regulatory block decision rather than a soft risk signal.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed EVM address returns a 400 error
- Address not resolvable or non-EVM format causes rejection
- Temporary unavailability of the upstream OFAC list data may cause degraded results
- Payment failure (x402) if the $0.02 USDC call fee cannot be processed

## How this service works

OFAC sanctions screen on a payee address — allow/block against the live sanctioned-address list, auto-refreshed weekly. Part of x402 Agentic, the payment-trust suite for AI agents on Base USDC.

## Output

Returns an allow or block decision for the queried EVM address, indicating whether it appears on the current OFAC sanctioned-address list. The list is auto-refreshed weekly to ensure compliance decisions reflect the latest sanctions data.
