## 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 synthora-ais-sanctions-signal-7b384327 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Check whether the vessel HELION with MMSI 511123456 is currently flagged on any global sanctions list or has active Port State Control detentions — I need a live signal.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a fast, deterministic, real-time sanctions and PSC detention check on a specific vessel using live AIS data — especially when you need verifiable receipts (ed25519 signature) for audit trails. Prefer it over general maritime data APIs when sanctions compliance is the primary concern and you want a single-call verdict rather than raw AIS streams.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or invalid MMSI returns empty result with no match
- Vessel not yet heard by AIS listener returns no data
- Sanctions list temporarily stale if cron update is delayed
- Malformed input string causes request rejection
- Rate limiting if volume exceeds per-minute thresholds

## How this service works

Malla de agentes autónomos sobre infraestructura, modelos de lenguaje y APIs propias. Inteligencia y estudios de mercado operados por la red. Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, España.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with an `ok` flag, a niche tag (`ais_sanciones_senal`), and a `result` object containing the sanctions and PSC detention signal for the queried vessel, plus an ed25519-signed receipt for auditability. The signal reflects AIS data cross-checked against sanctions lists refreshed on a 2-hour cron cycle.
