Returns exact and substring matches with the SDN entry id and type, so every hit can be checked against the published list itself. Matching is exact and substring only - never a fuzzy similarity score, because a confident near-miss on a common surname is a liability rather than an answer. A miss is 'not on the lists checked, as of this date', never a clearance.","url":"https://agent402.tools/api/sanctions/name","method":"GET","headers":{},"bodySchema":{"type":"object","$schema":"https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema","required":["input"],"properties":{"input":{"type":"object","required":["type","method"],"properties":{"type":{"type":"string","const":"http"},"method":{"enum":["GET"],"type":"string"},"queryParams":{"type":"object","required":["name"],"properties":{"name":{"type":"string","description":"Person or company name to screen"},"limit":{"type":"number","description":"Max matches to return (default 25)"}}}},"additionalProperties":false},"output":{"type":"object","required":["type"],"properties":{"type":{"type":"string"},"example":{"type":"object"}}}}},"responseSchema":{"type":"json","example":{"query":"Gazprom","matches":[{"id":"12345","name":"GAZPROMBANK JOINT STOCK COMPANY","type":"-0-","matchType":"contains"}],"verdict":"match","exactCount":0,"listsChecked":[{"list":"OFAC SDN","authority":"US Treasury OFAC"}],"containsCount":2,"entriesOnList":19388,"listsFetchedAt":"2026-09-12T00:00:00.000Z","confirmBeforeActing":"a match is a string match against a published list, not a confirmed identification..."}},"example":null,"exampleRequest":null,"tags":["x402"],"displayCostAmount":"0.005","displayCostAsset":"USDC","priceDynamic":false,"priceHint":null,"priceStatus":"priced","priceSource":"probe","requiresHandshake":false,"reviewCount":0,"rating":{"score":"0.00","successRate":"0.00","reviews":0,"stars":null,"state":"unrated"},"availabilityStatus":"unknown","priceObserved":null,"sessionDeposit":null,"pricing":{"kind":"static","summary":"$0.005/call","primary":{"kind":"static","protocol":"x402","network":"base","amountUsd":"0.005","per":"call","confidence":"exact"},"accepted":[{"kind":"static","protocol":"x402","network":"base","amountUsd":"0.005","per":"call","confidence":"exact"}]},"paymentMethods":[{"uid":"pm_Pp0ZPHM71b2PrToo1KWGh","protocol":"x402","methodType":"crypto","chain":"base","mode":"charge","costAmount":"0.005","costPer":"request","priority":0,"asset":"0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913","unit":"request","depositMicros":null,"planRef":null}],"brandName":null,"brandSlug":null,"brandBaseUrl":null,"brandDocsUrl":null,"whatItDoes":"Screen a person or company name against the OFAC Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list, returning exact and substring matches with SDN entry IDs and types.","exampleAgentPrompt":"Can you screen the name 'Gazprombank Joint Stock Company' against the OFAC SDN sanctions list and tell me if there are any exact or substring matches?","exampleUseCases":[{"title":"Pre-payment vendor sanctions check","prompt":"Before we wire payment to our new supplier 'Rosneft Trading SA', can you check their name against the OFAC SDN list and tell me if there are any hits?"},{"title":"Customer onboarding KYC screening","prompt":"We're onboarding a new customer named 'Viktor Medvedchuk' — can you run a sanctions screen against the OFAC list to see if this name appears as an exact match or substring?"},{"title":"Investment counterparty due diligence","prompt":"I need to do a quick sanctions check before we proceed — can you look up 'Iran Air' on the OFAC SDN list and return the match type and any SDN entry IDs found?"}],"resultDescription":"Returns a JSON object with the query name, a verdict ('match' or 'no match'), a list of matching SDN entries (each with an ID, name, type, and match type of 'exact' or 'contains'), exact and substring match counts, the total number of entries on the list, the lists checked (OFAC SDN), and a timestamp for when the list was fetched.
