Context Cost
This is the approximate number of tokens consumed each time the server's tools are loaded into a model's context. Higher counts reduce the attention available for other tasks.

Tools (13)
🟢shipping_oil_trade(query, reporter, partner, product, period, ...)
Query bilateral oil trade flows (EIA US imports/exports + Eurostat). Accepts structured filters OR a free-text `query` (matches country/notes). NOTE: this is import/export flow data, NOT chokepoint throughput — for Hormuz transit volumes use shipping_chokepoint.
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"query": {
"type": "string",
"description": "Free-text: a country name or keyword"
},
"reporter": {
"type": "string"
},
"partner": {
"type": "string"
},
"product": {
"type": "string"
},
"period": {
"type": "string"
},
"limit": {
"type": "integer",
"default": 50
}
}
}🟢shipping_sanctions(query, type)
Check vessel/entity against OFAC sanctions
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"query": {
"type": "string"
},
"type": {
"type": "string",
"enum": [
"vessel",
"company",
"individual",
"all"
]
}
},
"required": [
"query"
]
}🟢shipping_fleet(query, company, vessel_type, search, limit)
Query tanker fleet database. Accepts structured filters OR a free-text `query` (matches vessel name, IMO, owner, or type).
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"query": {
"type": "string",
"description": "Free-text: vessel name, IMO, owner company, or type"
},
"company": {

"vessel_type": {
"type": "string"
},
"search": {
"type": "string"
},
"limit": {
"type": "integer",
"default": 50
}
}
}🟢shipping_oil_prices(benchmark, days)
Get oil price benchmarks (WTI, Brent)
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"benchmark": {
"type": "string",
"default": "all"
},
"days": {
"type": "integer",
"default": 30
}
}
}⚪shipping_status
Database statistics plus per-dataset freshness: how recently each dataset was refreshed by our pipeline, how old its newest record is, and whether it is ok / lagging / stale / empty. Call this to decide how much to trust anything else this server returns.
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {}
}⚪shipping_freshness
Per-dataset freshness only: pipeline refresh age vs expected cadence, newest record age, source, and status (ok / lagging / stale / empty / unknown). Use before relying on a figure that must be current.
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {}
}🟢shipping_top_exporters(product, query, limit)
Top oil exporting countries by value/volume (a ranking — no query needed). Optional `product` or `query` recognizes a product keyword (crude/refined/lng/coal/iron_ore).
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"product": {
"type": "string",
"default": "crude"
},
"query": {
"type": "string"
},
"limit": {
"type": "integer",
"default": 20
}
}
}⚪shipping_country_flows(country, query, direction, limit)
Trade partners for a specific country (who they export to / import from). Pass the country as `country` or `query`.
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"country": {
"type": "string"
},
"query": {
"type": "string",
"description": "Alias for country"
},
"direction": {
"type": "string",
"default": "exports"
},
"limit": {
"type": "integer",
"default": 30
}
}
}⚪shipping_vessel_types
Fleet breakdown by vessel type
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {}
}🟢shipping_emissions(query, imo, ship_type, year, limit)
Query EU MRV vessel emissions data — CO2, fuel consumption, time at sea for 22,543 vessels (2018-2024). Search by IMO, ship type, or year — or a free-text `query` (7-digit = IMO, else ship type/name).
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"query": {
"type": "string",
"description": "Free-text: IMO number or ship type/name"
},
"imo": {
"type": "string",
"description": "IMO number (7 digits)"
},
"ship_type": {
"type": "string",
"description": "Ship type filter (e.g., \"Oil tanker\", \"LNG carrier\")"
},
"year": {
"type": "string",
"description": "Reporting period year (2018-2024)"
},
"limit": {
"type": "integer",
"default": 50
}
}
}🟢shipping_sanctioned_at_eu(query, year, limit)
Find sanctioned vessels that called at EU/EEA ports. Cross-references OFAC sanctions with EU MRV emissions data (verifiable IMO-level identity). Filter by year or a free-text `query` (sanctions program e.g. "Iran"/"Russia", flag, or vessel name).
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"query": {
"type": "string",
"description": "Program (e.g. \"Iran\"), flag state, or vessel name"
},
"year": {
"type": "string",
"description": "Filter by year (2018-2024)"
},
"limit": {
"type": "integer",
"default": 50
}
}
}⚪shipping_chokepoint(chokepoint, query)
Maritime chokepoint intelligence for Hormuz, Suez, Malacca, or Bab el-Mandeb. Returns authoritative EIA baseline throughput (barrels/day, % of global), a live AIS snapshot (vessels/tankers/moving/stationary) for the chokepoint, sanctioned vessels currently detected there, and dark-fleet behavioural signals (loitering + AIS gaps). This is the tool for "how is Hormuz doing".
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"chokepoint": {
"type": "string",
"description": "\"Hormuz\", \"Suez\", \"Malacca\", or \"Bab el-Mandeb\""

"query": {
"type": "string",
"description": "Alias for chokepoint (free text)"
}
}
}🟢shipping_doc_intel(topic)
Query the shipping document intelligence layer: eBL platform adoption (12 platforms), MLETR country adoption (23 countries, 13 enacted), document fraud cases ($11.3B), DCSA standards (10), industry stats (26 metrics). The state of shipping document digitization.
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"topic": {
"type": "string",
"description": "Topic: \"platforms\", \"mletr\", \"fraud\", \"standards\", \"stats\", or \"overview\"",
