## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability strale-aml-risk-score-089cc16d
```

Example prompt: Can you run an AML risk check on a person named Aleksei Petrov from Russia — flag whether he's a politically exposed person, on any sanctions lists, or has adverse media hits?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a structured, auditable AML/KYC risk signal for a named person or company in a specific country, especially when compliance traceability is required. It is particularly useful for financial onboarding, due diligence pipelines, or regulatory workflows where a cryptographic audit trail per call is mandatory. Prefer this over generic web search or unstructured news lookup when you need a scored, machine-readable compliance output with provenance. Best suited for single-entity screening rather than batch background check workflows.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required entity_name or country_code results in a 400 validation error
- Invalid ISO 2-letter country code returns an error or no results
- Ambiguous or common names may produce low-confidence matches
- Entity not found in any monitored database returns a null or zero-risk score that may be inconclusive
- Rate limits or payment failures via x402 protocol may block the request
- Sparse data for certain countries may result in incomplete risk signals

## How this service works

Calculate a composite Anti-Money Laundering (AML) risk score for a person or company. Aggregates sanctions screening, PEP status, and jurisdiction risk into a single 0-100 risk score with risk level classification.

## Output

Returns a structured AML risk score for the queried entity, incorporating PEP (Politically Exposed Person) status, sanctions list membership, and adverse media signals. Each response includes a cryptographic audit record with chain hashing for compliance and traceability purposes.
