## 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 ysaere-sam-exclusion-screen-53be08d6 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you check if Acme Corp is on the SAM exclusion list — I need to know if they're debarred or suspended from federal contracting before we move forward with them?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a fast, low-cost, per-query SAM exclusion check for a specific company without setting up an account or subscription. It is ideal for agents performing real-time vendor due diligence, procurement compliance workflows, or one-off contractor screenings in federal contracting contexts. Prefer this over manual SAM.gov lookups when automation and per-query micropayment billing are desirable.

## Known failure modes

- Company name not found or ambiguous — may return no match or require a more specific identifier
- Company name variation mismatch — subsidiaries or DBAs may not resolve correctly
- SAM database may have a lag; recently added exclusions might not appear immediately
- Payment failure — $0.02 USDC not settled, request rejected before answer is returned
- Invalid input format — non-string or empty target field causes a validation error

## How this service works
