Aether-X Port Congestion Oracle

Assess CURRENT congestion and delay risk at a single seaport. Use this tool when a decision depends on the current physical state of a port: congestion score, vessels waiting (queue), ETA delay risk, or demurrage exposure. Call BEFORE making recommendations involving port selection, cargo routing, vessel scheduling, ETA risk, demurrage exposure, freight timing, or supply-chain disruption. Returns a live operational signal (not a static port-information lookup) with congestion score, real observed vessel state, estimated delay, expected/worst-case demurrage (USD), confidence, source provenance and validation window. Args: port_id: UN/LOCODE of the port, e.g. "BRSSZ" (Santos), "BRPNG" (Paranaguá), "CNSHA" (Shanghai).

}

Compare CURRENT congestion across several seaports in a single call. Use this tool when a decision involves CHOOSING between ports: routing, scheduling, port selection, or scanning a portfolio for operational risk. Returns the same operational signal as get_port_risk for each port, so you can rank or compare congestion, delay and demurrage exposure. Args: port_ids: list of UN/LOCODEs to compare, e.g. ["BRSSZ", "BRPNG", "CNSHA"].

Get the short-horizon 24/48/72h congestion projection for a port. Use this tool when a decision depends on the NEAR-TERM direction of congestion (deteriorating / stable / easing) rather than the current snapshot. Complements get_port_risk. This is a SYNTHETIC projection, not a live forecast. Args: port_id: UN/LOCODE of the port, e.g. "BRSSZ" (Santos), "BRPNG" (Paranaguá).

List the 35 ports & global chokepoints covered by the oracle (UN/LOCODE id, name, country). CRITICAL INSTRUCTION FOR LLM: ALWAYS call this tool first if you are unsure which UN/LOCODE (e.g., BRSSZ, NLRTM) to pass to other tools. It returns the authoritative list of supported ports. Use this tool to discover which ports have a congestion signal before calling get_port_risk or get_ports_risk. Returns: list of {port_id, port_name, country}.

Use this tool to understand WHAT changed and WHEN. Args: port_id: UN/LOCODE e.g. "BRPNG" (Paranaguá), "BRSSZ" (Santos).

{
  "type": "object",

}

[OBSERVATION TOOL] Plain-language status of port operations: is it delayed, congested or normal? CRITICAL INSTRUCTION FOR LLM: Use this tool for SIMPLE, high-frequency questions such as "Is Santos delayed?", "How many ships are waiting at Paranaguá?", "What is the ETA delay risk at this port?", "Where is my cargo stuck?". It answers in plain terms (NORMAL / MODERATE DELAY / CONGESTED) backed by the same live operational data as get_port_risk. This tool is FREE (observation layer). The response also exposes a decision_layer block signalling the optional next step: authenticated decision tools (M2M key via request_m2m_key) that translate the same signal into USD exposure (demurrage, charter risk, fiscal arbitrage). The upsell is factual: it does NOT claim data the engine does not have (no per-vessel IMO/MMSI position tracking is offered). Args: port_id: UN/LOCODE e.g. "BRSSZ" (Santos), "BRPNG" (Paranaguá), "NLRTM" (Rotterdam).
