## 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 oneshot-agent-api-person-sanctions-lookup-e4aedffe -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you run a sanctions check on 'Vladimir Putin' against the OFAC list and return up to 5 matches with a minimum score of 0.9?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a pay-per-call, no-API-key sanctions screening tool for individual persons, especially when integrating into an autonomous agent workflow that requires AML/KYC compliance checks. Prefer it over full KYC platforms when you only need name-based sanctions lookup without document verification, and over free datasets when you need a maintained, scored fuzzy-matching service with up-to-date SDN data.

## Known failure modes

- Name string too short (<2 chars) or too long (>200 chars) returns validation error
- min_score outside 0.5–1.0 range returns validation error
- limit outside 1–25 range returns validation error
- No matches found returns empty matches array with total 0
- Network timeout or upstream sanctions database unavailability
- Payment failure via x402 if USDC balance is insufficient

## How this service works

Entries on the US Treasury's list of Specially Designated Nationals that match a person name, each with a score, the name that matched and the entry as the list publishes it. A screening aid, not a legal determination. No match means no entry on the lists named scored at or above the minimum; it does not mean the party is clear.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with: the sanctions lists queried (name and as-of date), total count of all matches at or above the minimum score, and an array of top matches each containing a match score, the matched name variant, and the full entry (canonical name, title, SDN number, remarks, programs, addresses, and known aliases/AKAs).
