Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 zinin-m2m-hub-sanctions-update-alert-3bd4ce3d -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Set up a sanctions change alert for the entity 'Acme Trading Ltd' using the baseline key 'acme-trading-2024' and tell me if any new or disappeared sanctions hits appear since the baseline was last established.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need incremental/delta sanctions monitoring — i.e., you already have a baseline snapshot and want to know only what changed, appeared, or disappeared since then. It is purpose-built for ongoing compliance workflows where re-screening the same entity repeatedly and comparing results is required, rather than a one-off full sanctions lookup. Ideal for automated agent pipelines that must track counterparty risk over time without reprocessing all historical data on every run.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or unknown baseline key returns an error in the result's error field
- Entity not found on any sanctions list returns found=false with zero hit counts
- First-time run creates a baseline rather than reporting changes (baselineCreated=true)
- Network timeout may result in incomplete results or missing run_ms
- Invalid entity name format may return null fields throughout the result
- Payment failure via x402 protocol blocks the call entirely before processing

## How this service works

Pay-per-call data & tool APIs

## Output

Returns a JSON object with run metadata (execution time in ms, settlement status, item count) and a results array. Each result includes the baseline key, entity name, match details (matched name, program, list name, entity type), counts of current/changed/disappeared hits, a change type indicator, a human-readable summary, the timestamp of the check, and flags for whether a baseline was just created or the entity was found.
