## 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-screening-api-e4faa6c8
```

Example prompt: Can you run an OFAC sanctions screen on 'Rostec Corporation' and tell me if it's an exact match, a potential match, or not listed at all?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a fast, low-cost ($0.005 USDC) programmatic OFAC sanctions check on a specific name — ideal for automated KYC/AML pipelines, vendor onboarding workflows, or pre-transaction due diligence where you need a boolean exact/potential match signal without building your own sanctions list integration.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'name' query parameter returns an error
- Name with special characters or transliterations may miss matches
- OFAC list may not be real-time; recently added entities could be missed
- Ambiguous common names may produce high false-positive potential_match rates
- Service unavailability or timeout returns a non-200 response

## How this service works

Screen a party name against the current official U.S. Treasury OFAC SDN primary-name list and return transparent potential matches.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with: success (boolean indicating API call success), exact_match (boolean — true if the name exactly matches an OFAC listed entity), potential_match (boolean — true if the name is a fuzzy/partial match), and count (integer number of matching records found).
