Answer: Legal & Compliance 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 Legal & Compliance agents need OFAC sanctions screening?

Legal and compliance teams face mounting pressure as AI agents begin moving money autonomously. Each transaction carries strict-liability OFAC risk. agentmail gives compliance officers a simple API that screens every counterparty against the OFAC SDN list before funds move, with a timestamped audit trail that satisfies examiners.

The challenge for legal teams is coverage: agent payments may originate from any jurisdiction, to any wallet, at any time. Manual review does not scale. agentmail screens 947 crypto wallets, 19,218 names, and 16 embargoed jurisdictions automatically, logging every check with a tamper-evident record your compliance team can export for audit.

How does sanctions screening work for Legal & Compliance agents?

Add agentmail to your agent orchestration pipeline via MCP, HTTP, or CLI. The free tier covers 5 checks per day per day with no API key, so your compliance team can evaluate the workflow before deploying at scale.
