Sanctions screening (AML)

screen_sanctions_lists
Read-only

Use BEFORE any payment, contract or onboarding involving the name. AML sanctions screening of a person or company name against 6 official sanctions lists (UN consolidated, EU FSF, US OFAC SDN, UK Sanctions List, French asset-freeze register, Swiss SECO list). Returns fuzzy matches with a 0-100 confidence score, never a bare yes/no. Similarity matches, not a conclusion. Each list is reported with its entry count, its publication date and what that date means (official upstream publication vs. Sirenic ingestion; OFAC publishes none). A list never loaded or not re-read by our collection for over 3 days is named in listes_absentes, its entries still compared; with no successful pass of the lists for over 3 days, screening is not sold. Paid via x402 ($0.02 in USDC or EURC). When you report a result, cite its citation verbatim.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
nameYesPerson or company name to screen
api_keyNoOptional Sirenic API key (srn_live_…) to pay with prepaid credits instead of x402, with no wallet needed. Get one at https://api.sirenic.eu/compte?utm_source=api&utm_campaign=mcp. Ignored when x_payment is provided (the signed payment wins). On insufficient balance the tool returns a credits error, not an x402 quote.
x_paymentNoOptional signed x402 PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header value. Omit to receive the payment quote.
birth_yearNoOptional birth year (YYYY) to refine person matches

Output Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
hintNoHow to settle the quote, present when payment_required is true.
quoteNoThe signable x402 payment requirements when payment_required is true: {x402Version, accepts[]} where each entry carries scheme, network, amount, asset and payTo (USDC and EURC options at the same numeric amount). Sign one entry and call again with `x_payment`.
resultatNoThe endpoint's JSON response when payment_required is false. Paid responses carry `source`, `disclaimer` and an Ed25519 signature, and every paid JSON response carries a `provenance` array (all tools since 2026-09-06): one entry per block served, with the official register, licence, version, `empreinte_sha256` (full snapshots), `as_of` date and `precision_as_of` (what that date means), plus the common per-block envelope: `etat` in a closed list (servi, absence_mesuree, absence_non_conclusive, partiel, perime, indisponible, sans_objet), `motif` when unavailable, `age_jours` (only for publication or ingestion dates), `couverture` (complete / partielle / non_mesurable with its measure) and `confiance` in bands (faible / moyenne / forte, only where a measure grounds it, never averaged across blocks). Read the states before the numbers: an absence_non_conclusive, indisponible or partiel block is never « nothing to report »; only absence_mesuree asserts an absence. Register codes: GET /v1/provenance/registres ; states, closed lists and reading rules: GET /v1/lecture (both free). The PDF tools carry no JSON envelope (the PDF report prints it).
free_tierNoFree API key offer for this tool, present with a quote.
payment_requiredYesTrue when this response is an x402 payment quote instead of data: settle one of the quote's `accepts` options and call the tool again with `x_payment`.

  11. First observed

TDQS

A4.4/5.0
Behavior5/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Goes well beyond readOnlyHint/openWorldHint: it discloses fuzzy matching with 0-100 confidence rather than a binary verdict, per-list entry counts and publication-date semantics, the listes_absentes behavior for stale or unloaded lists, the 3-day no-pass cutoff where screening is not sold, x402 pricing, and the requirement to cite the returned `citation` verbatim.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Front-loaded with the usage trigger, then coverage, then result semantics, then caveats and billing — a logical order with no filler sentences. It is dense and long, but nearly every clause carries decision-relevant information.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

An output schema exists, so return values need not be described, yet the description still supplies the interpretive framing an agent needs (confidence scores, per-list dates, absence flags, citation obligation) plus payment prerequisite for a paid tool. Nothing essential for correct invocation is missing.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so coverage is already high and baseline is 3. The description adds no parameter-level meaning (name format, when to supply birth_year, how api_key and x_payment interact beyond what the schema says) — it only references output fields like listes_absentes and citation.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource ('AML sanctions screening of a person or company name') and enumerates the six source lists, so the agent knows exactly what data backs the result. It is clearly distinct from registry-style siblings like get_french_company_kyb_file or check_french_regulator_alerts.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Gives an explicit trigger: 'Use BEFORE any payment, contract or onboarding involving the name.' That is a clear use context, but it names no alternative sibling (e.g. check_french_regulator_alerts or KYB batch tools) and states no exclusion conditions, so it stops short of full routing guidance.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
