Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1394+ live data sources.

Tools

Tool	Description
sanctions_screen	Screen a person, company, vessel, or aircraft name against the US Consolidated Screening List — OFAC SDN sanctions, Sectoral Sanctions (SSI), Chinese Military-Industrial Complex (CMIC), BIS Entity List / Denied Persons / Military End User, State ITAR Debarred, and 5 more US restricted-party lists (~26k entries, synced daily). Fuzzy name matching with a 0-1 relevance score, matched aliases, programs, addresses, and which list each hit is on. Use for KYB / KYC / AML / export-control compliance checks. Returns an empty matches array when the name is clear.
sanctions_entry	Get the full Consolidated Screening List record for one entry by its uid (from sanctions_screen results, e.g. "SDN:12345") or by OFAC entity number. Returns every field: all aliases, addresses, identity documents (passports, tax IDs, IMO numbers, crypto wallet addresses), sanction programs, license requirements, Federal Register notice, vessel details, and remarks.
sanctions_lists	List the 12 US restricted-party lists covered by the Consolidated Screening List with entry counts and data freshness (last sync time). Use to cite coverage in a compliance report: OFAC SDN/SSI/CMIC, BIS Entity List/DPL/UVL/MEU, State ITAR-Debarred/ISN, and more.
