## 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 veradata-quick-ofac-sanctions-screening-ff1601ff -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you do a quick OFAC sanctions check on the individual 'Carlos Medina' — screen them by name to see if they appear on the OFAC list?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a fast, inexpensive single-list OFAC check — especially during integration testing or for lightweight compliance workflows where multi-list global screening is not required. Prefer it over comprehensive sanctions screening endpoints when cost and speed matter more than exhaustive coverage.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'input.type' or 'input.method' fields returns a validation error
- Invalid entity type may result in unsupported input error
- Payment failure via x402 micropayment protocol blocks the request
- Network timeout if the OFAC data source is temporarily unavailable
- Ambiguous entity names may yield false positives or inconclusive results

## How this service works

Quick OFAC-only sanctions screening. Lower price, single-list check. Best for first-time integration testing.

## Output

Returns a sanctions screening result indicating whether the queried entity matches any entry on the OFAC list, along with match details or a clear pass status.
