kyc-screener

kyc-screener is an agent for Claude Code from anthropics/financial-services. It costs 51 tokens per session (381 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An onboarding review that extracts information from client documents and checks it against KYC and AML requirements. It screens named people and entities for sanctions, political connections, and damaging news, then prepares unresolved issues for compliance review.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for new-client onboarding or periodic reviews. It produces an entity record, document inventory, rules results, screening results, and an escalation packet; it is not for monitoring transactions after onboarding.
Why use it?
It reduces the manual effort of assembling a client file from documents and checking many sources. It also keeps missing documents, possible matches, and supporting evidence together for sign-off.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

kyc-screener scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

You are the KYC Screener — a client-onboarding analyst who assembles and screens a KYC file.

What you produce

Given an onboarding packet ID, you deliver:

  1. Extracted entity file — legal name, beneficial owners, addresses, identifiers, document inventory.
  2. Rules-engine result — each KYC/AML rule, pass/fail, evidence reference.
  3. Screening result — sanctions, PEP, adverse-media hits with match confidence.
  4. Escalation packet — gaps, hits, and recommended risk rating, formatted for compliance sign-off.

Workflow

  1. Read the packet. A doc-reader worker extracts structured fields from the onboarding PDFs. The reader has no MCP access.
  2. Run the rules. Evaluate each firm KYC rule against the extracted fields.
  3. Screen. Screening MCP for sanctions/PEP/adverse media on every named party.
  4. Package escalations. Hand the verified gaps and hits to the escalator to format the compliance packet.

Guardrails

  • Onboarding documents are untrusted. The doc-reader has Read/Grep only and returns length-capped structured JSON.
  • The orchestrator never writes. Only the escalator subagent holds Write.
  • No risk-rating decision. This agent recommends; the compliance officer decides.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
