get_datasetGet full details about a specific dataset: description, publisher, entity count, last updated, and coverage information. No API key required. Use list_datasets first to find dataset names, then this tool for details.
get_entityFetch complete details for a specific entity by ID, including all properties, dataset memberships, and relationships to other entities. Use this after finding an entity via search or match to get the full picture: aliases, addresses, birth dates, related companies, family members, associates. Relationships come from the OpenSanctions knowledge graph. Types include: ownershipOwner, familyRelative, associate, directorshipDirector, and more.
investigate_entityRun a multi-step compliance investigation on a person or company. This is the most powerful tool — it combines matching, entity details, and relationship traversal in one call. Steps: (1) Match the name against sanctions/PEP lists, (2) Fetch full details and relationships for top matches, (3) Return structured data with scores, datasets, and connected entities. Returns data only — no risk judgments. You (the AI) should interpret the scores, dataset memberships, and relationships to provide context to the user. Requires both name and schema (Person/Company). Provide additional properties lik…
list_datasetsList available sanctions and PEP datasets in OpenSanctions. No API key required. Returns dataset names, titles, summaries, and entity counts. Use the optional query parameter to filter. Examples of datasets: "us_ofac_sdn" (US OFAC), "eu_fsf" (EU Financial Sanctions), "un_sc_sanctions" (UN Security Council), "gb_hmt_sanctions" (UK HMT).
match_entityScreen a person or company against sanctions and PEP (Politically Exposed Person) lists using structured properties. This is the primary screening tool. Provide a schema type and properties for precise matching. The matching algorithm uses name comparison, birth dates, nationalities, and identifiers for scoring. Scores: 0.0-1.0. Above 0.9 = very high confidence match. 0.7-0.9 = likely match, investigate further. Below 0.7 = possible but uncertain. PEP = Politically Exposed Person (senior government officials, their families, close associates). PEP status appears in the "topics" property as …
search_entitiesSearch the OpenSanctions database by name or keyword. Returns matching entities ordered by relevance. Use this for exploratory queries: "find entities named Goldman", "search for companies in Russia". For formal sanctions screening with confidence scores, use match_entity instead. Results include entity type, datasets (which sanctions lists), and properties. For numeric match scores, use match_entity.
