get_catalog Free, unauthenticated dataset catalog. Describes every table this service sells, its fields, current pricing, and freshness. Read this before paying for anything.
get_sample Free, unauthenticated sample of carrier_profile rows. Lets a buying agent evaluate data quality before spending USDC on the paid tools.
lookup_carrier Look up a single carrier's current profile by USDOT number. Paid — you pay only when a call returns records; an exact-key miss is free. Returns every carrier_status (Active, Inactive, Pending) — check the carrier_status field, don't assume Active. insurance_cancel_pending is true when an insurance
search_carriers Filtered carrier search. Paid — you pay only when a call returns records; a zero-row result is free, same as an exact-key miss. safety_tier filters on safety_tier_derived: 1 = inspected with zero BASIC alerts, up to 6 = all five BASICs alerted. Carriers with no tier (never inspected, or not in SMS)
get_safety_history Historical snapshots and changelog entries for a carrier. Paid — you pay only when a call returns records; an exact-key miss is free. changelog may legitimately be empty for a carrier without two distinct-date snapshots yet — a diff needs both. authority_types, oos_orders_active, insurance_bipd_on_
screen_carrier_identity Free triage screen for a carrier: whether it's flagged under FMCSA's own chameleon-carrier methodology, how big its identity cluster is, and how many linked carriers carry a motive — with no member detail. Call check_carrier_identity (paid) for that. This is the entire discovery/sales motion in an
check_carrier_identity Full identity-linkage detail for a carrier: why it's flagged and how confident that is. Priced meaningfully above the free screen_carrier_identity — call that first if you only need the flag and a count. Never names or points at another carrier (redesigned 2026-09-18 — see schemas.IdentityAssessmen
check_address_consistency How many distinct business addresses and phones this carrier reports across FMCSA's independent records of it (census registration, licensing and insurance filings, and its own self-reported crash records). Mailing addresses are excluded — differing from the physical address there is normal. Paid.
confirm_identity_link Confirms or denies that two carriers YOU ALREADY SUSPECT are linked in fact share an identity cluster — the lower-risk alternative to check_carrier_identity's removed linked_carriers field (see schemas.IdentityAssessment's docstring for why that was removed 2026-09-18). This never discloses a carri
check_applicant_against_roster Screens one applicant carrier against a roster of carriers you already do business with (or are vetting) — the batch generalization of confirm_identity_link, for the real-world case of catching a carrier that was previously cut from your network (revoked, suspended, or otherwise let go) trying to re
get_identity_sample Free, unauthenticated sample of identity/fraud responses, covering both screen_carrier_identity's free IdentityScreen shape and check_carrier_identity's paid IdentityAssessment shape. Lets a buying agent see the paid response shape and evaluate data quality before spending USDC on check_carrier_ide
find_carrier_by_mc Free. Finds the USDOT number for an operating-authority docket number (MC, MX or FF), so a broker holding the MC number from a rate confirmation can reach the other tools, which take a USDOT number. mc_number may be written "MC123456", "MC-123456", "mc 123456" or just "123456" (a bare number is tak
check_roster_changes Which carriers on your roster changed on or after a date, and what changed: authority, insurance, out-of-service and the other tracked fields, each with its old and new value. Paid, metered: a base price plus a per-roster-entry price, both shown in get_catalog. roster_usdot_numbers is your own list
get_carrier_selection_record One dated, hashed record of what public FMCSA data shows about a carrier, built for a broker's carrier-vetting file. Paid, flat price. It gathers, in one response: the carrier's current profile (authority, insurance flags, FMCSA safety rating and its date, out-of-service orders, fleet and classific
get_inspection_crash_summary A carrier's roadside inspection, violation and crash summary on its own. Paid, flat price; billed whenever the USDOT number resolves, even if the carrier had no inspections (that is the finding). An unknown number is a free not_found. inspections (SMS data, a 24-month window that ends weeks before
check_broker_authority Does this broker hold active broker authority, and what does FMCSA's record say around it? Give exactly one of mc_number (the broker's MC docket, written MC123456, MC-123456 or 123456) or usdot_number. Paid, flat price; billed whenever the carrier resolves, including when it holds no broker authorit
