Example prompt: Can you run a sanctions check on 'Mikhail Volkov' and tell me if he appears on any OFAC list, including the SDN or Consolidated non-SDN list, along with any confidence scores?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need automated OFAC sanctions screening for AML/KYC compliance workflows, onboarding checks, or counterparty due diligence. It covers both the SDN list (including aliases) and the Consolidated non-SDN list in a single call with confidence scoring, and is refreshed daily from official Treasury sources — making it suitable for production compliance pipelines.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'name' query parameter returns an error
- Name too short (under 2 characters) fails schema validation
- No matches found returns an empty candidate list
- Network or upstream Treasury data refresh failure may cause stale or unavailable results
- Ambiguous or common names may return many low-confidence candidates requiring manual review

## How this service works

Screens a person or entity name against US OFAC sanctions lists: SDN (Specially Designated Nationals incl. aliases) and the Consolidated non-SDN list, refreshed daily from official Treasury sources. Returns match candidates with confidence scores and list references. Input: person, company or vessel name.

## Output
