## 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 tooloracle-io-b9ba14ba -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Before I send this payment, can you run a sanctions screen on 'Dmitry Sergeyev' — check him against OFAC SDN, EU FSF, UN Security Council, and UK HMT lists and tell me if he's a hit or clear?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need real-time, multi-list sanctions screening across the four major global watchlists (OFAC SDN, EU FSF, UN SC, UK HMT) in a single call, especially for KYC/KYB onboarding, pre-payment AML checks, CDD workflows, or any agentic payment pre-flight requiring EU AMLR, FinCEN BSA, FATF Rec. 6, or BaFin GwG compliance evidence.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or malformed name input returns a 400 validation error
- Name too short or ambiguous may return low confidence score with multiple potential matches
- Service unavailable or list update in progress may return 503
- Payment not received or x402 protocol failure results in 402 Payment Required
- Rate limit exceeded returns 429
