Frequently asked questions about the OFAC Sanctions Service MCP Server
Is the OFAC SLS API Key required?
No. The SLS API is publicly accessible. However, providing an API key if you have one ensures higher rate limits and consistent access.
What is the difference between SDN and Non-SDN lists?
The SDN (Specially Designated Nationals) list contains individuals and entities whose assets are blocked. Non-SDN lists contain entities subject to other sanctions, such as sector-specific or prohibited accounts.
Can I see aliases for a specific person?
Yes! Use the get_entity_details tool with the specific Entity ID. The agent will return the full profile, including all known aliases, addresses, and identifying information.
