## 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 osf-sanctions-screening-by-name-25bf5557
```

Example prompt: Can you run a sanctions screen on 'Arkady Volkov' against OFAC, EU, and UK lists and give me a JSON result with an audit receipt so I have a compliance record?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a fast, per-record, auditable sanctions screen against OFAC SDN, EU Consolidated, and UK OFSI lists with a provenance-stamped receipt — especially in agentic workflows requiring compliance documentation. Prefer this over manual lookups or bulk services when you need micropayment-based pay-per-query with an immutable audit trail. Note: does not cover UN, Trade.gov CSL, or SAM debarment lists.

## Known failure modes

- Name not found in any list returns result: NO_MATCH with empty matches array
- Malformed or missing name path parameter returns HTTP 400
- Payment not settled via x402 returns HTTP 402 Payment Required
- Server unavailable or list data stale returns HTTP 503
- Ambiguous or partial name may yield false positives requiring manual review

## How this service works

OSF is a live marketplace of provenance stamped public domain government and scientific data, built for autonomous agents that pay per record over x402 micropayments on Base. A paid MCP server in the official MCP Registry, discoverable on the Coinbase CDP Bazaar.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with: result status (POTENTIAL_MATCH or NO_MATCH), matched name(s), the specific sanctions list(s) matched (e.g. EU_SANCTIONS, OFAC SDN), match basis, provenance URLs back to official sources, a match count, a unique screening_id and result_sha256 hash for audit purposes, a coverage note clarifying which lists were screened, and a compliance note reminding the caller to verify against official sources before acting.
