## 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 vextorium-sanctions-screening-8f91608c -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Before we onboard this new supplier, can you screen the name 'Banco Nacional de Cuba' against the EU and OFAC SDN sanctions lists with a match threshold of 0.85 and show me the top 5 results?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, affordable ($0.006/call) automated sanctions screening against both EU and OFAC SDN lists simultaneously with fuzzy matching for name variants and aliases. Ideal for KYC/AML workflows before onboarding customers, processing payments, or entering into contracts. Prefer this over manual list lookups or enterprise compliance platforms when cost, speed, and API-native integration matter more than exhaustive multi-jurisdiction coverage.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'name' field returns validation error
- Threshold outside 0–1 range may cause rejection or unexpected results
- Limit outside 1–50 range may be clamped or rejected
- Low threshold (e.g. 0.5) may return excessive false positives
- Very uncommon or non-Latin script names may yield poor fuzzy match results
- Network timeout if name string is unusually long

## How this service works

Screen a person, company, vessel or entity against the EU consolidated financial sanctions list and the US OFAC SDN list, with fuzzy matching of names and aliases, program, type, countries and reference. For KYC/AML before paying or onboarding.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the queried name, total number of matches found, the sanctions lists reviewed (EU consolidated list and OFAC SDN), the match threshold used, and an array of matched records — each including the list name, entity type, match score (0–1), all known aliases/names, the sanctions program, countries associated, and a reference ID. Also includes a disclaimer note advising to verify date of birth, country, and documents before concluding.
