## 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 restricted-party-screen-vercel-app-ecbd95fa
```

Example prompt: Run a batch restricted-party screen on these 3 vendors for our vendor-onboarding workflow with a minimum match score of 90: SBERBANK, VTB BANK PJSC, and GAZPROMBANK — and tell me if any are flagged and whether we should proceed or pause.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to screen multiple counterparties (up to 25) in a single API call for compliance purposes, especially in automated procurement, payout, or cross-border onboarding workflows. Prefer this over the single-entity endpoint when batch throughput and a unified proceed/pause recommendation are needed. Ideal for compliance pipelines that require machine-readable review signals without manual lookup.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'names' parameter returns an error
- More than 25 names submitted may exceed batch limit
- Invalid minScore value (non-numeric or out of range) causes bad request
- Network or upstream OFAC service unavailability returns failure
- Payment not completed (x402) results in 402 response blocking data return
- Pipe-delimited names malformed causes parsing failure

## How this service works

Low-friction batch restricted-party screen for up to 25 counterparties in one paid call. Returns per-name screening results, flagged counterparties, a batch-level proceed-or-pause recommendation, and machine-readable review signals for procurement, payouts, and cross-border onboarding workflows. Required query param: names separated with the pipe character (|). Optional query params: workflow, minScore, type, country, program, list, limit.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a query summary (names screened, count, minScore), a batch-level summary including clear count, flagged count, recommended action (proceed or pause-and-review), and a manualReviewRecommended boolean, plus a list of flagged counterparties with their match counts. Source is identified as the OFAC Sanctions List Service.
