## 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 synergy-ofac-sdn-sanctions-screener-a0739984 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you screen the name 'Viktor Petrov' as an individual against the OFAC Specially Designated Nationals list and return up to 10 matches with their program tags?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a fast, deterministic, keyless lookup against the OFAC SDN list without requiring an API key or account setup. It is well-suited for compliance checks within agent workflows where literal name matching is sufficient and you need program-level provenance. Prefer this over full fuzzy-match compliance platforms when you want lightweight, per-call pricing at $0.002 USDC and deterministic results rather than probabilistic scoring.

## Known failure modes

- Name not found on SDN list — returns empty result set (not an error)
- Invalid name_type enum value — request rejected with validation error
- Limit out of range (below 1 or above 25) — request rejected with validation error
- Missing required 'name' field — request rejected
- Payment failure — x402 payment not fulfilled, endpoint returns 402 status

## How this service works

Screen a name against the OFAC Specially Designated Nationals list (keyless deterministic lookup; literal matches with program tags and provenance).

## Output

Returns up to the requested number of SDN list match records for the queried name, including the matched name, the OFAC sanctions program tags associated with each entry, and provenance details indicating the source record. Lookup is deterministic and literal (not fuzzy), so results reflect exact or near-exact name matches.
