## 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 records-for-agents-entity-verification-sanctions-screening-09468832
```

Example prompt: Can you screen 'Meridian Global Trading LLC' against OFAC sanctions and the US export-control watchlists, and also check if it's registered as an active business in Florida or Colorado?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a combined KYB/AML screening that covers both US government sanctions/export-control lists AND state business registry verification in a single call. It is especially useful for agent workflows that must check OFAC SDN, Trade.gov Consolidated Screening List, and Secretary of State registration status together. Prefer this over point-solution APIs when you want honest, clearly scoped coverage (FL and CO registries, not all 50 states) rather than a vendor claiming exhaustive national coverage.

## Known failure modes

- Name not found on any list (clean result, not an error)
- Ambiguous name with many fuzzy matches may return large result sets
- Florida coverage limited to active-status entities only — dissolved/inactive FL entities may be missing
- State registry coverage limited to CO and FL — other states will return no results
- Exact registry number lookup requires correct scoped identifier type
- Rate limiting or payment failure on x402 micropayment protocol

## How this service works

Business registry verification and restricted-party screening for AI agents: OFAC Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) and Consolidated sanctions lists (incl. aka/fka/nka aliases and vessel/aircraft designations), the Commerce and State watchlists from the Trade.gov Consolidated Screening List (BIS Entity List, Denied Persons, Unverified, Military End User; State ITAR Debarred and Nonproliferation Sanctions), plus Colorado and Florida Secretary of State business registry records. Screen a name for sanctions and export-control exposure (KYB/AML compliance), verify a business or person against state registry filings with fuzzy name matching (legal-suffix, dba, and person-name-order variants), full-text search across sources, or look up an exact registry number (OFAC ent_num, CO entity id, FL document number). Coverage is honest, not exhaustive: state registry coverage starts with FL and CO only, and FL coverage is limited to active-status entities in v1 (dissolved/inactive FL entities are not yet ingested). Every record carries full provenance (source, source URL, fetched-at, record hash) and every response includes as_of freshness — built for agent-driven KYB, sanctions compliance, and verification workflows.

## Output

Returns structured match results including: OFAC SDN and Consolidated list hits with aliases (aka/fka/nka), vessel and aircraft designations, Trade.gov Consolidated Screening List matches (BIS Entity List, Denied Persons, Unverified, Military End User, State ITAR Debarred, Nonproliferation Sanctions), and state business registry records from Florida and Colorado with fuzzy name matching. Each result includes the source list, match confidence, and relevant entity details.
