What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 9, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

• search_library

  Find public-records sources (datasets, portals, registers, reports) by question or keywords. Use `place` to include everything covering a place, from the city up to federal and global sources. Returns the publisher, how to get the data (API endpoint or page), update rate, last up

• get_source

  Full details of one source by id: publisher, original link, API endpoint, formats, update rate, last update, licence, location detail, check status and notes.

• list_places

  The atlas: world, countries, states, counties and cities, with their ids. Filter by parent id (e.g. 'us' for US states) or kind.

• list_departments

  The 15 departments (shelves) every source sits on, with what each covers.

• list_gaps

  Records people need that the library doesn't hold yet, or that no agency publishes. Check this before telling a user a record doesn't exist.

  The records SOS.city reads from agencies' open data, one row each: building permits, code-enforcement cases, inspections, certificates of occupancy, new business registrations, grants, weather alerts, earthquakes, US wildfires (NIFC), SCE power shutoffs, satellite fire detections

• request_record

  Ask SOS.city to find a public record that isn't in the library. It joins the gap board; give an email to hear back. Never for locating or profiling a person.

• get_store

  The SOS.city data store: what's free, what costs credits (1 credit = 1 cent), credit packs, city data packs, building records and deep searches, and every way to pay (credits with an API key, x402 USDC, or a Stripe link for a person). Shows the caller's credit balance when an API

• buy

  Starts a one-time purchase and returns a Stripe Checkout link for the person who pays, plus a status_url to poll. product: credits_1k ($10), credits_10k ($79) or city_pack ($29, needs place). The person must agree to the data-use terms (no screening or profiling people): pass agr

• get_city_pack

  Every source that covers one place (with publisher, original link, licence and reuse terms) plus a year of records whose sources allow reuse. Costs 2900 credits from the API key's balance. Without credits, use buy (product city_pack) or the REST URL with x402.

• list_compliance

  Buildings and facilities that owe a legally required inspection, filing or fix (SB 721 balcony inspections, LA energy benchmarking, open code cases, soft-story and concrete retrofits, industrial stormwater permits), read from the agency's dataset and refreshed daily. Free: what e

• get_compliance_items

  Rows of one compliance list (address, ZIP, dates, status, the agency's id, a link to the original, and other lists the same address is on). The first 10 rows are free; more cost credits per 100 rows (see get_store). Filter by zip, address (q), status, type, since (YYYY-MM-DD) or

• get_compliance_changes

  Buildings and facilities added to, taken off, or changed on a compliance list since a day (default the last 7 days), from the agency's own data. Counts are free; the first 10 rows are free, then credits per 100 rows. Off the list means the agency's data no longer lists the item,

• watch_compliance

  Save a watch on one compliance list (ZIPs, status, type, stacked) and get what changed daily or weekly by email and/or a signed webhook. Pass track (item keys) to follow items one by one: each closes on its own when the agency's data no longer lists it. Needs an API key. Rows pas

• list_compliance_watches

  The account's compliance watches: what each covers, how it's delivered, when it last went out and what it did, and its tracked items open and closed.

• get_bank_access

  Free. How many bank and credit union branches a ZIP, county or state has today, how far the nearest bank branch is, closings and openings in the last 120 days, ZIPs left with one bank or none, and the top lenders already there. From FDIC BankFind, the NCUA call report and Census

• list_bank_gaps

  ZIPs where a branch closing left no bank, one bank, or a 10+ mile trip to the next branch, with the bank that left and the nearest one still open. Free: the last 30 days, 25 rows. full=true returns the whole 120-day window (100 credits from the API key, or free with a watch for t

• find_lenders

  Every bank and credit union with a branch in one county, with branch counts and assets. 25 credits from the API key (free with a watch for that state). Organizations only.

• order_bank_report

  Start a checkout for a Bank desert watch (state, regional, national, closing soon, branch sites) or a one-time report (market brief, acquisition screen, merger impact). Returns a Stripe link for the person who pays. See get_store for prices.

• get_city_risk

  Free. FEMA National Risk Index for the county of one of the 30 largest U.S. cities: overall rating and score, every hazard's share of the risk, rating, score and expected annual loss, plus (for verified cities) the federal disaster declarations and the official emergency alert si
