Contract Skill — A ready-to-use MOVA HITL workflow. Requires the openclaw-mova plugin.

# MOVA AML Alert Triage

Submit a transaction monitoring alert to MOVA for automated L1 triage — with typology matching, sanctions screening, and a human compliance decision gate backed by a tamper-proof audit trail.

What it does

• AI triage — checks sanctions lists (OFAC/EU/UN), PEP status, transaction burst patterns, customer risk rating, prior alert history, and typology matching (structuring, layering, smurfing, etc.)
• Risk snapshot — surfaces anomaly flags and triage recommendation
• Human decision gate — compliance analyst chooses: clear / escalate to L2 / immediate escalate
• Audit receipt — every decision is signed, timestamped, and stored in an immutable compact journal

Mandatory escalation rules enforced by policy:

• Risk score > 85 → mandatory human escalation
• Sanctions hit → immediate escalation, no exceptions
• PEP flag → mandatory L2 escalation

Requirements

Plugin: MOVA OpenClaw plugin must be installed in your OpenClaw workspace.

Data flows:

• Alert data + customer ID + transactions → api.mova-lab.eu (MOVA platform, EU-hosted)
• Customer data → sanctions screening (OFAC, EU, UN — read-only, no data stored)
• Customer ID → risk rating and prior alert history (read-only)
• Audit journal → MOVA R2 storage, cryptographically signed
• No data is sent to third parties beyond the above

Quick start

Say "triage AML alert ALERT-1002" and provide the alert details:

Demo

Step 1 — Alert submitted: TM-STRUCT-11, risk 91, RISK HIGH flag !Step 1

Step 2 — AI analysis: structuring typology matched, risk 91/100, escalate_l2 decision !Step 2

Step 3 — Audit receipt + compact journal with full compliance event chain !Step 3

Why contract execution matters

• Escalation rules are policy, not prompts — risk_score > 85 and sanctions hits trigger mandatory gates that cannot be bypassed
• Full typology matching — AI identifies structuring, layering, and smurfing patterns against your transaction monitoring rules
• Immutable audit trail — when a regulator asks "who cleared or escalated ALERT-1002 and why?" — the answer is in the system with an exact timestamp and reason
• AMLD6 / FATF ready — AML decisions require the human oversight, full explainability, and documented decision chain required by AMLD6 and FATF guidance

What the user receives

When to trigger

Activate when the user:

• Mentions an alert ID (e.g. "ALERT-1002")
• Says "triage this alert", "review AML alert", "check transaction monitoring alert"
• Provides customer and transaction data for compliance review

Before starting, confirm: "Submit alert [alert_id] for MOVA L1 triage?"

If details are missing — ask once for: alert ID, rule ID, risk score, customer ID, customer jurisdiction, triggered transactions.

Step 1 — Submit alert

Call tool mova_hitl_start_aml with:

• alert_id, rule_id, rule_description, risk_score
• customer_id, customer_name, customer_risk_rating (low/medium/high), customer_type (individual/business), customer_jurisdiction (ISO country code)
• triggered_transactions: array of {transaction_id, amount_eur}
• pep_status: boolean, sanctions_match: boolean
• historical_alerts: optional array of prior alert IDs

Step 2 — Show analysis and decision options

If status = "waiting_human" — show AI triage summary and ask to choose:

• clear — Clear as false positive
• escalate_l2 — Escalate to L2 analyst
• immediate_escalate — Immediate escalation — freeze account

Show recommended option if present (mark ← RECOMMENDED).

Call tool mova_hitl_decide with:

• contract_id: from the response above (NOT the alert ID)
• option: chosen decision
• reason: analyst reasoning

Step 3 — Show audit receipt

Call tool mova_hitl_audit with contract_id. Call tool mova_hitl_audit_compact with contract_id for the full signed event chain.

Connect your real AML systems

By default MOVA uses a sandbox mock. To route checks against your live infrastructure, call mova_list_connectors with keyword: "aml".

Rules

• NEVER make HTTP requests manually
• NEVER invent or simulate results — if a tool call fails, show the exact error
• Use MOVA plugin tools directly — do NOT use exec or shell
• CONTRACT_ID comes from the mova_hitl_start_aml response, not from the alert ID
