Distributed Risk

Connect an agent to the desk.

The desk is also an MCP server. Any agent that speaks MCP can read the notes, and search the official US record they cite: the screening lists, OFAC's recent actions, CISA's exploited-vulnerability catalog, the Federal Register and State travel advisories.

Tools

The desk

  • list_notes

    Published desk notes, newest first: entry number, date, title, status, source class, a one-line summary, and the note's URL.

  • search_notes

    Find published notes that mention every word of the query (a name, a list, a country, a program, a date) in the title, summary, sources or body.

  • get_note

    One published note in full (Markdown), with its numbered sources and links to the official record.

The official record

  • search_screening_lists

    Search the Consolidated Screening List (OFAC SDN and other Treasury lists; BIS Entity, Denied Persons, Unverified and Military End User lists; State ITAR-debarred and nonproliferation lists) by name, alias or identifier (IMO, SWIFT/BIC, registration number). Close spellings match. Each result gives the list, programs, addresses, IDs, remarks and the official list link; the answer says when each list last changed.

  • list_ofac_actions

  • search_kev

    CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, newest first: CVE, vendor, product, date added, federal due date, known ransomware use and the required action. Look up one CVE, search vendor or product words, or list what was added since a date.

  • get_reference_rates

    The New York Fed's reference rates: EFFR and OBFR (unsecured), SOFR, BGCR and TGCR (secured), and the SOFR averages and index (SOFRAI). With no rate, the latest of each; with a rate, its last N days, with percentiles, volume and, for EFFR, the target range.

  • get_treasury_yields

    Treasury's daily par yield curve, newest first: yields by tenor from 1 month to 30 years. Ask for the last N days, and optionally only some tenors (for example ["2 Yr", "10 Yr"]).

What it returns

Two kinds of answer. From the desk: each note's entry number, date, status, sources and full text, with a link back to its page. From the official record: what the government source publishes, as it publishes it, with the source link and the time we read it. A screening-list answer also says when each list last changed.

A list match is a lead to check against the official entry, not a determination that a party is listed. No match is not a clearance: names vary in spelling and transliteration, and the lists change.

The desk's terms apply to every answer, and every tool result carries them: decision support from official public sources, not a legal determination of sanctions, travel, or cyber status. Readers own their compliance obligations.

Nothing here can change anything, and it does not see inquiries. One address can make about 120 calls a minute. A newly published note reaches agents within a minute. The lists and catalogs are read again every hour, OFAC's recent actions every 20 minutes. The first list search after a quiet spell can take a few seconds while the lists load.

More than the record

If the decision in front of you needs more than the public record, inquire. That can be conditions on the ground, a name your committee already trusts, or cover someone will underwrite.
