    customs_check_rulesPer-destination pet border-entry requirements — NO account needed. What documents a dog needs to enter a country and re-enter the US. Use this to answer 'what does my pet need to travel to X?' for anyone. Omit `destination` to list every corridor.
    customs_start_signupStart a FREE customs.dog account for a NEW user by email and send them a magic sign-in link (no password). Use this to onboard someone who wants to store and track their pet's travel documents after you've shown them their border requirements.
    customs_prepValidate the session, confirm the pet roster, report health. Call first.
    customs_overviewCounts of pets/documents by status, what's expiring soon, recent household activity, and MCP usage stats (per-tool call counts, public-tier reach, verdict distribution).
    customs_list_petsList the household's pets (source of pet_id).
    customs_list_documentsList documents for a pet.
    customs_check_trip_readinessCleared / caution / blocked for pet + destination + return_date. NEVER assert clearance without this. (For rules without an account, use customs_check_rules.)
    customs_upcoming_tripsUpcoming trips from the household's connected travel calendar (TripIt/Flighty/Google/Apple), each with per-pet readiness (cleared/caution/blocked). Use to proactively flag paperwork needed before travel.
