KYC Analyst

Initiating rapid KYC screen for `Tesla, Inc`. Phase 1 is name matching against the most critical watchlists — OFAC SDN, consolidated sanctions, and PEP data.
First I need to run `Tesla, Inc` against the sanctions watchlists. I'll query OFAC SDN, OFAC Consolidated, OpenSanctions — these are the authoritative lists any compliance check must clear.
```tool_call
{
  "tool": "screen_sanctions",
  "args": {
    "name": "Tesla, Inc"
  }
}
```

```tool_result
OK: Sanctions screen complete (18ms)

  • Hits: 0
```

Clear on sanctions. `Tesla, Inc` has no matching entries across the queried sources. Documented as clean.
Running `Tesla, Inc` through the PEP databases. Politicians, senior officials, state-owned enterprise executives — anyone with public power is a PEP and warrants extra scrutiny.
```tool_call
{
  "tool": "screen_peps",
  "args": {
    "name": "Tesla, Inc"
  }
}
```

```tool_result
OK: PEP screen complete (0ms)

}

    "name": "VANGUARD GROUP INC"
  }
}

  }
}
```

```tool_result
OK: Sanctions screen complete (5ms)
  • Sources: ofac_sdn, ofac_cons, opensanctions_sanctions, opensanctions_default
  • Hits: 1
  • [opensanctions_default] Blackrock Leasing, Inc. (Company)
```
