## 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 sirenic-sanctions-screening-1ecb9ddf
```

Example prompt: Can you check if 'Rosneft Oil Company' appears on any sanctions list — I need confidence scores, not just a yes or no.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need multi-list coverage across all major Western sanctions regimes (UN, EU, OFAC, UK, French, Swiss) in a single call with fuzzy matching and confidence scoring — ideal for KYC/AML compliance workflows, vendor onboarding, or due diligence where a simple yes/no is insufficient and partial name matches must be surfaced with ranked confidence.

## Known failure modes

- Name shorter than 2 or longer than 100 characters returns a validation error
- Invalid birth_year format (non-YYYY) may be rejected
- Empty or whitespace-only name input returns an error
- Network timeout if the screening service is temporarily unavailable
- No hits returned does not guarantee the entity is not sanctioned — only that no fuzzy match exceeded the threshold

## How this service works

Sanctions screening (AML/KYC): screen a person or company name against 6 official watchlist sources — UN consolidated, EU FSF, US OFAC SDN, UK Sanctions List, French national asset-freeze register, Swiss SECO list — six official lists in one call. Fuzzy watchlist matching with a 0-100 confidence score per hit — never a bare yes/no. Each list reports its entry count, publication date and what that date means. One AML screening call covers UN, EU, OFAC, UK, FR and CH.

## Output

A list of sanctions hits, each with the matched entity name, the specific list it appeared on (UN, EU FSF, US OFAC SDN, UK, French, Swiss SECO), and a numeric confidence score from 0 to 100 indicating how closely the queried name matches the listed name. No bare yes/no — every hit includes granular match quality.
