Perplexity

Headless AML pipeline execution

Integrate screening into your CI/CD flow by calling `create_search` directly from your terminal. Claude Code handles the logic without requiring a GUI, making it perfect for automated batch processing. It pipes the results into your existing shell scripts or logging tools. This allows you to build a custom compliance engine that triggers whenever a new user registers in your system.

Automated search result retrieval

Use `list_searches` to audit your recent activity logs. Claude Code scans the output to identify pending tasks or flagged entities that need immediate attention from your team. Once it identifies a target, it fetches the full report using `get_search_details`. You get the exact data you need, formatted for your terminal, without opening a browser.

Programmatic monitor control

Manage your risk coverage via CLI commands. Claude Code triggers `update_search_monitors` to enable or disable tracking for specific accounts, which you can hook into your existing cron jobs. It verifies the current status of every monitor by calling `get_search_monitors`. This ensures your automated scripts are always running with the correct configuration.
