Screen a person or organisation for ADVERSE MEDIA and SANCTIONS/PEP exposure (KYC/AML). USE THIS WHEN onboarding or due-diligence asks: does this subject appear in negative news (fraud, money laundering, bribery, sanctions, trafficking, enforcement action), or on a sanctions / politically-exposed-person list? Pairs naturally after verify_identity. Identify the subject ONE of two ways: pass `name` (plus any of `dob` as YYYY-MM-DD, `country`, `aliases`, `employer`, `role` — these sharpen matching and cut same-name false positives), OR pass an identity document via `url`/`bytes_b64` (+`filename`) and the subject is read from it. Returns `{subject, sanctions{...}, adverse_media{...}, risk_flag, headline, limitations}`: sanctions candidates are corroboration-gated (a name-only hit is `possible`, NEVER confirmed — one common name matches several different people); media hits are entity-disambiguated and classified, with same-name articles surfaced under `excluded`. This is screening COVERAGE, not a determination — a hit means "review this", not "guilty"; "nothing found" is not a clean record. Stateless — nothing is stored. Costs 3 credit(s) per call.
