Public Sanctions Name Screen

compliance_name_screen

Screens a name against integrated French, UK and UN public sanctions/freezing lists using explainable fuzzy matching. Use when: Screen a person or organization name against public sanctions lists. You have a person or organization name and need explainable screening against the supported French, UK and UN public sanctions lists. You need candidate matches with fuzzy-match scores before manual review. Avoid when: You have a French company identifier and want company-aware public compliance checks; use company/fr/compliance. You need a complete commercial AML/KYC database or a legal guarantee that a subject is unsanctioned. Limitations: Fuzzy name matching can produce false positives and false negatives, especially for aliases, transliteration and common names. No match means only that no candidate was found in the supported public lists at check time. Price: 0.020 USD per call via x402. Paid-call behavior: source records are not modified, but a successful invocation can consume the advertised x402 payment; the payment-required challenge is free, and repeating the tool after a completed paid invocation may require a new payment. Accepted x402 networks: eip155:8453, xrpl:0.

TDQS

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Despite readOnlyHint/idempotentHint false, the description discloses that source records are not modified but a successful paid invocation can consume x402 payment, that the payment-required challenge is free, and that repeat calls may require new payment. It also surfaces fuzzy-match false positives/negatives and the meaning of a no-match result, going well beyond the annotations.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is front-loaded with the core action and then organized into clear labeled sections (Use when, Avoid when, Limitations, Price, Paid-call behavior, Accepted networks). Each section earns its place; there is no filler or redundant elaboration.

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?

With an output schema present, return-value documentation is not required, and the description covers the remaining decision-relevant context: when to use, when not to use, limitations, price, payment side effects, and accepted x402 networks. An agent has everything needed to invoke it correctly.

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%: both name and threshold are already described with constraints and defaults. The description adds context about fuzzy-match scores and candidate matches but does not add parameter-level detail beyond the schema, so baseline 3 is appropriate.

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?

The opening sentence names a specific verb and resource: screens a name against integrated French, UK and UN public sanctions/freezing lists with explainable fuzzy matching. The 'Avoid when' section explicitly distinguishes it from company/fr/compliance by pointing to company-identifier use, so it is clearly differentiated from siblings.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

The description provides explicit 'Use when' and 'Avoid when' guidance, including the concrete alternative company/fr/compliance for French company identifiers and exclusions for full AML/KYC or legal guarantees. This tells an agent exactly when to select this tool versus alternatives.

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