Answer: KYC/AML agents screen counterparties against the OFAC SDN list (19,218 names, 947 crypto wallets, 16 embargoed jurisdictions) via a single API call before every payment. A "clean": true response means proceed; "clean": false means halt. The check runs in under 100ms and the free tier covers 5 checks/day with no API key.

Why do KYC/AML agents need OFAC sanctions screening?

KYC and AML compliance teams deploying AI agents need screening that produces evidence examiners and regulators will accept. agentmail screens every counterparty against the OFAC SDN list and produces a tamper-evident audit trail: timestamp, subject, result, list version, and latency for every check.

When OFAC asks whether you screened a transaction, you need proof. agentmail logs every screen automatically and exports to CSV for Voluntary Self-Disclosure filings, compliance examinations, and internal audits. The dashboard gives your compliance team real-time visibility into every check your agents make, with alerts when a transaction is flagged.
