    govinfo_legislation_relationshipsReturn a paginated related-measure map for one bill from official GovInfo Bill Status XML, including companion, identical, related, and procedurally related measures, who identified each relationship, and the related measure's latest published action. Use this for 'find the Senate companion to this House bill', 'which rule resolution governed this bill?', or 'map CRS-identified related measures'. Coverage starts from 118th-Congress HR/S bills; related targets may be resolution types that are not otherwise hosted as primary records.
    govinfo_legislation_evidence_packCombine a hosted bill's identity, sponsor/cosponsor aggregates, law citations, policy subjects, complete committee path, complete text-version lineage, bounded recent actions, related-measure summary, official URLs, per-record XML hash, and snapshot provenance. Use this for 'build an evidence pack for H.R. 2670', 'document the source trail for S. 1', or 'summarize what the official status record proves before due diligence'. Coverage is the complete 118th-Congress HR/S slice only; recent actions default to 15 and relationships to 20 with explicit stored totals and truncation flags.
    bea_search_state_indicatorsSearch the 15 indicators in LiveDataLink's self-hosted official BEA SASUMMARY annual state snapshot. Returns canonical indicator names, definitions, units, exact coverage, pagination, evidence hash, and attribution. Use this for 'what BEA state measures are hosted?', 'find regional price parity', or to resolve an indicator before a history call. Scope is the compact annual state summary, not the full BEA API or industry detail.
    bea_state_economic_historyReturn bounded annual history for one official BEA SASUMMARY state or U.S. indicator. Includes exact value, unit, state GeoFIPS, pagination, source update date, evidence hash, and attribution. Use this for 'Texas real GDP since 2018', 'California per-capita income history', or 'US employment by year'. Published aggregate annual estimates only; BEA can revise prior vintages.
    bea_state_economic_trendCalculate prior-observation and exact five-year changes for one official BEA SASUMMARY state indicator. Returns component observations, absolute and percent changes, five-year CAGR when meaningful, units, vintage evidence, and caveats. Use this for 'five-year Florida GDP trend', 'how has Ohio employment changed?', or 'California real per-capita income growth'. The optional as-of year prevents future observations from entering a historical calculation.
    bea_compare_statesCompare one official BEA SASUMMARY annual indicator across 2–8 requested states (or the United States) for an exact year. Returns values sorted high-to-low, exact unit, missing-value evidence, GeoFIPS, source hash, and attribution. Use this for 'compare 2024 Texas and California GDP', 'which of these states had higher 2023 per-capita income?', or 'compare regional price levels'. It does not rank all states unless they are explicitly supplied.
    bea_state_economic_profileBuild a compact official BEA annual economic profile for one state or the United States across all 15 hosted SASUMMARY indicators: GDP, income, consumer spending, per-capita measures, regional price levels, and jobs. Each value carries its own year and unit because source update calendars differ. Use this for 'BEA profile for North Carolina', 'state GDP income jobs packet', or as the BEA leg of a regional market brief combined with Census, BLS, SBA, FDIC, or housing data. Aggregate estimates only; not a forecast or investment recommendation.
    fbi_cde_state_crime_trendReturn a bounded monthly trend for one state and one FBI summarized UCR offense category from LiveDataLink's self-hosted official CDE aggregate snapshot. Fields include reported offenses and clearances, rates per 100,000 reporting population, full and reporting populations, coverage percentage, pagination, and exact provenance. Use this for 'California violent-crime trend in 2023', 'monthly motor vehicle theft reported in Texas', or 'did coverage change during this state trend?'. Crimes known to law enforcement only; never use for cross-state rankings or individual decisions.
    fbi_cde_state_month_snapshotReturn all ten hosted FBI summarized UCR offense categories for one state and month from LiveDataLink's self-hosted CDE aggregate snapshot, with counts, rates, reporting population coverage, and provenance. Use this for 'FBI crime snapshot for Ohio in June 2022', 'which CDE categories are available for this state-month?', or to inspect coverage before a trend query. Categories overlap and must not be summed; this is not a jurisdiction score, person-level record search, or current incident feed.
    fbi_cde_national_crime_trendReturn a bounded U.S. monthly FBI summarized UCR offense-rate trend with national reporting population and coverage from LiveDataLink's self-hosted CDE snapshot. Use this for 'national burglary rate trend in 2020', 'U.S. violent-crime reporting coverage by month', or national context before a state comparison. The upstream national response does not publish reported count fields in this endpoint, so counts are null rather than back-calculated; crimes known to law enforcement only.
    fbi_cde_state_reporting_coverageInspect monthly FBI UCR population coverage for one state in LiveDataLink's self-hosted CDE aggregate snapshot before interpreting its summarized crime trend. Returns reporting population, full population, coverage percentage, an explicit warning below 90 percent, pagination, and provenance. Use this for 'was California's 2021 FBI reporting coverage complete?', 'find low-coverage months in this state period', or to qualify an analysis. Coverage is not data quality proof and must accompany, not replace, methodological review.
    fbi_cde_compare_state_to_nationalCompare one state's monthly FBI summarized UCR offense rate with the national rate in LiveDataLink's self-hosted CDE aggregate snapshot, including both reporting-coverage series, rate difference, ratio, pagination, and provenance. Use this for 'California versus U.S. robbery rates in 2023', 'give national context for one state's burglary trend', or 'does state-national comparison have a coverage caveat?'. This deliberately supports only the FBI-recommended state-to-national context—not state rankings, city league tables, causal claims, or individual risk decisions.
    fed_z1_catalogList and search the deliberately small catalog of aggregate U.S. balance-sheet and debt series in LiveDataLink's self-hosted Federal Reserve Z.1 snapshot. Returns official series IDs, stable LiveDataLink slugs, table/line metadata, units, adjustment basis, coverage, pagination, release hash, and attribution. Use this for 'what household balance-sheet measures are available?', 'find the mortgage debt series', or to resolve a series before another Z.1 call. This is not the full Z.1 universe.
    fed_z1_seriesReturn a bounded quarterly history for one curated Federal Reserve Financial Accounts (Z.1) aggregate series from LiveDataLink's self-hosted release snapshot. Includes official series/table identifiers, dollar values, units, seasonal-adjustment basis, pagination, source hash, and release provenance. Use this for 'show household net worth since 2019', 'quarterly federal debt outstanding', or 'consumer credit history'. Values are aggregate historical estimates that may be revised.
    fed_z1_snapshotReturn the latest hosted quarter for one to eight curated Federal Reserve Z.1 balance-sheet or debt aggregates on one consistent release. Includes values in millions and trillions of dollars, official IDs, adjustment bases, release quarter, hashes, and attribution. Use this for 'latest household net worth and liabilities', 'compare current household, business, and federal debt levels', or as a macro evidence leg alongside FRED and Treasury tools. Do not compare levels without considering definitions and adjustment bases.
    fed_z1_changeCalculate the absolute and percentage change in one curated Federal Reserve Z.1 aggregate between two exact hosted quarters. Returns both observations, dollar change, percent change, series definitions, release provenance, and source hashes. Use this for 'how much did household net worth change from 2019 Q4 to 2024 Q4?', 'growth in mortgage debt since 2020', or 'change in federal debt outstanding between two quarters'. This is descriptive historical arithmetic, not a forecast or recommendation.
    treasury_tic_find_holdersWhich holder names and stable ids are available in the hosted Treasury International Capital Major Foreign Holders archive? Searches publisher-listed holders, historical aggregates, totals, residuals, and foreign-official memorandum rows. Returns primary-series coverage, latest value, pagination, immutable source hashes, run id, and caveats. Use this before history or comparison when a label is uncertain; this is not the complete TIC country universe.
    treasury_tic_holder_historyHow did one publisher-listed major foreign holder's U.S. Treasury holdings change over a fixed monthly window? Returns bounded/paginated holdings in integer USD millions, exact month, primary/comparison-series identity, raw-asset line references, snapshot vintage, hashes, and methodology caveats. Primary values are returned by default; set include_comparison_series only to inspect duplicate benchmark-break comparison columns.
    treasury_tic_rank_holdersWhich named major foreign holders had the largest Treasury holdings in a specified month? Ranks only the named holder rows published in Treasury's MFH table, excluding Grand Total, All Other, and foreign-official memo rows. Historical publisher aggregates are excluded unless requested. Returns bounded pagination, integer USD millions, exact source lines, hashes, vintage, and the custodial-attribution caveat. If month is omitted, uses the hosted snapshot vintage.
    treasury_tic_compare_holdersWhich of two to eight MFH holders changed Treasury holdings most between two exact months? Resolves stable ids, requires primary observations at both endpoints, and ranks by absolute USD-million change. Returns endpoint values, absolute/percent change, raw source line references, provenance, and custodial/methodology caveats. Comparisons across pre-2011 benchmark breaks describe published estimates and are not beneficial-owner flows.
    treasury_tic_official_shareWhat share of total foreign Treasury holdings was reported for foreign official institutions over a fixed monthly window? Joins the MFH Foreign Official memo line to Grand Total, returning bounded/paginated USD-million values and a two-decimal share for each month, plus run id, exact official source hashes, vintage, and methodology caveats. This is a custodial aggregate, not a country allocation or investment signal.
    fema_nfhl_search_inventorySearch LiveDataLink's complete pinned projection of FEMA's nationwide NFHL coverage/download inventory by jurisdiction, state, unit kind, displayed update date, and advertised ZIP size. Returns bounded pagination, both displayed and filename-derived dates, canonical FEMA download evidence, and snapshot hashes. Commercial use: screen coverage/freshness and plan acquisition before property diligence. This is inventory metadata only; for an address or coordinate flood-zone question use flood_zone_lookup, which consults FEMA's live Flood Hazard Zones layer.
    fema_nfhl_get_inventory_itemGet one self-hosted FEMA NFHL inventory unit by exact DFIRM ID. Returns jurisdiction, state, coverage-unit kind, package update date, advertised size, filename, canonical FEMA download URL, and immutable provenance. Use this to produce acquisition evidence after search. It does not fetch or inspect the geodatabase; use flood_zone_lookup for address/coordinate zone questions.
    fema_nfhl_compare_inventory_itemsCompare 2-10 exact FEMA NFHL inventory units for coverage freshness and advertised download size. Returns requested-order rows, missing IDs, total estimated bytes, and provenance, enabling auditable acquisition estimates across target counties/communities. No geometry is hosted or downloaded. Use flood_zone_lookup instead for point/address flood-zone questions.
    fema_nfhl_summarize_state_inventorySummarize all hosted FEMA NFHL inventory units for one state/territory: unit counts by kind, oldest/latest package dates, total advertised download-volume estimate, and largest unit. Use for state coverage/freshness comparisons and data-acquisition budgeting. This does not mean every place or parcel has digital NFHL geometry and is not a flood determination.
    fema_nfhl_get_snapshot_metadataReturn the pinned FEMA NFHL inventory snapshot's run ID, row/state counts, displayed update-date coverage, hashes, acquisition method/evidence origin, rights, exact official source URLs, scope boundary, fail-closed inventory-schema checks, and MapServer layer-ID/type verification. Use this to qualify evidence and freshness before relying on inventory results. This is not a polygon corpus and does not replace flood_zone_lookup.
    opportunity_zones_search_designationsWhich final 2018-cycle Qualified Opportunity Zone designations match a tract, county, or jurisdiction? Searches the complete self-hosted CDFI Fund designation workbook with optional jurisdiction, county, and official tract-type filters. Returns bounded, paginated rows with 2010 GEOIDs, source hash, IRS authority, and a 2010-versus-2020 boundary warning. Use for discovery; do not use a 2020-vintage GEOID or treat this archived final cycle as the still-unfinalized 2027 cycle.
    opportunity_zones_lookup_designationWas this exact 2010 census tract GEOID listed in the final 2018-cycle Qualified Opportunity Zone corpus? Performs an exact lookup against all 8,764 CDFI Fund rows and returns listed/not-listed status, geography, tract type, ACS source, official notices, and provenance. tract_vintage is fixed to 2010: never submit a 2020 tract identifier as if it were equivalent. This is designation evidence, not parcel confirmation or tax/legal advice.
    opportunity_zones_compare_jurisdictionsWhich of 2-10 requested states or territories has more final 2018-cycle QOZ designations? Resolves exact jurisdiction selectors and compares total, Low-Income Community, Non-LIC Contiguous, and covered county counts, sorted by total. Includes complete-corpus provenance and tract-vintage/cycle warnings. It compares designation counts, not investment quality, land area, population, current eligibility, or the pending 2027 cycle.
    opportunity_zones_summarize_designationsHow are final 2018-cycle QOZ designations distributed overall, by jurisdiction, county, official tract type, or ACS eligibility-data source? Returns bounded, paginated aggregate groups with LIC/non-LIC and county counts plus source evidence. Optional filters narrow to one jurisdiction or tract type. Use for coverage and market-screening summaries; counts do not measure investment attractiveness and do not include eligible/nominated tracts from the 2026-2027 redesignation cycle.
    urlhaus_recent_urlsList recent malware-distribution URLs added to URLhaus in its rolling three-day window. Returns bounded metadata and indicators only; it never visits the reported URLs.
    urlhaus_recent_payloadsList metadata and cryptographic hashes for payloads recently observed by URLhaus. This tool does not download malware samples.
    urlhaus_lookup_urlLook up URLhaus threat intelligence for exactly one HTTP(S) URL or numeric URLhaus record ID. Returns status, tags, blacklist metadata, and a bounded payload summary without contacting the reported URL.
    urlhaus_lookup_hostLook up an IPv4 address, hostname, or domain in URLhaus and return a bounded list of associated malware URLs. The host is sent only to URLhaus; LiveDataLink never connects to it.
    urlhaus_lookup_payloadLook up URLhaus metadata for an MD5 or SHA-256 malware-payload hash and return a bounded set of associated URLs. This tool does not download the payload.
    urlhaus_lookup_tagLook up a URLhaus classification tag and return observation dates plus a bounded list of associated malware URLs.
    urlhaus_lookup_signatureLook up a URLhaus malware-family signature and return counts plus a bounded list of associated URL and payload observations.

Provide either a five-digit ZIP, or a two-letter state with an optional city. State-only results are paginated and capped at 25 locations per call. Returns all 12 monthly lodging limits, the daily M&IE limit, locality/county coverage, and official source metadata. GSA fiscal years run October 1 through September 30; Alaska, Hawaii, territories, and foreign locations use other federal rate sources.
    gsa_per_diem_mie_breakdownList the official CONUS meals-and-incidental expense (M&IE) tiers for a federal fiscal year, including breakfast, lunch, dinner, incidental, and first/last travel-day amounts. Use gsa_per_diem_lookup to identify the applicable total for a destination.

Returns the normalized matched address, longitude/latitude, and Census geographies (state, county, tract, block, congressional district) with GEOIDs. No match returns an explicit not-found message.
    geocode_coordinatesReverse-geocode a longitude/latitude pair with the Census Geocoder (keyless). Returns the Census geographies (state, county, tract, block, congressional district) containing the point, with GEOIDs.
    geocode_batchGeocode up to 10 one-line US addresses in a single call. Returns one block per input address (matched address, coordinates, and county/tract GEOIDs). For large jobs the Census batch file API supports up to 10k rows; this tool covers small ad-hoc batches.
    tx_wells_nearFind Texas oil & gas wells near a location using the Texas Railroad Commission (RRC) public well map (keyless public record). Given a longitude/latitude and a radius, returns the wells within it, each with its API well number, well number, and type/status (e.g. 'Oil Well', 'Gas Well', 'Permitted Location', 'Dry Hole', 'Injection/Disposal'), plus a breakdown by type. Use geocode_address first to turn a street address into coordinates. Texas covers the Permian and Eagle Ford basins. This is well LOCATION + type data; operator, production volumes, and permit dates are not in this layer.
    ok_wells_searchSearch Oklahoma oil & gas wells by county, operator, API number, and/or well type using the Oklahoma Corporation Commission (OCC) RBDMS well database (keyless public record). Unlike a pure map layer, this returns the OPERATOR, well status, well type (OIL/GAS/DRY/etc.), well name, county, and location for each match, plus the total matching count and a by-operator/by-type breakdown. Use it for 'who operates wells in county X', 'how many wells does operator Y have', or an operator's well portfolio. Oklahoma covers the Anadarko Basin / SCOOP / STACK plays. At least one of county, operator, or api is recommended to narrow the search.
    lei_lookupResolve a company name to its Legal Entity Identifier (LEI), or look up an LEI code directly, using the GLEIF public register (keyless, CC0 open data). Returns each matching entity's 20-character LEI, exact legal name, operating status (ACTIVE/INACTIVE), jurisdiction (ISO 3166-2), legal-form code, legal address (city/region/country), LEI registration status (ISSUED/LAPSED/RETIRED), and last-update date. The LEI is the global standard join key for entity resolution — use it to disambiguate a company and cross-reference it against sanctions, SEC EDGAR, federal spending, and due-diligence tools. Pass a name (fuzzy match, returns ranked candidates) or a 20-char LEI (exact).
    lei_hierarchyMap a company's corporate family tree from the GLEIF relationship register (keyless, CC0 open data): given a company name or LEI, returns its direct parent, ultimate (top-of-tree) parent, and a list of its direct children/subsidiaries with the total subsidiary count. Answers 'who ultimately owns this company?' and 'what does this company own?' — core due-diligence and beneficial-ownership questions. Each node includes the LEI, legal name, and jurisdiction so you can drill further. Relationships GLEIF has no filing for are reported as 'none reported' (not an error).
    chemical_lookupResolve a chemical name (e.g. 'aspirin', 'caffeine') or a PubChem CID to its core identity and physical properties using the NIH/NLM PubChem public database (keyless, public-domain data). Returns the PubChem Compound ID (CID), IUPAC systematic name, molecular formula, molecular weight (g/mol), and the canonical SMILES structure string. Use it to disambiguate a substance and obtain a stable CID join key for further chemistry or safety lookups.
    chemical_hazardsReturn the public GHS (Globally Harmonized System) hazard classification for a chemical from the NIH/NLM PubChem database (keyless, public-domain data). Given a chemical name or PubChem CID, it resolves the compound and returns the GHS signal word (Danger/Warning) and the list of GHS hazard statements (e.g. 'H302: Harmful if swallowed'). If PubChem has no GHS classification on file for the compound, that is reported gracefully. This is informational public GHS classification data, not regulatory guidance or a safety data sheet - verify against an official SDS before handling any chemical.
    tide_predictionsReturn high and low tide predictions (times and heights) from the keyless NOAA Tides & Currents (CO-OPS) public API - U.S. Government public-domain data. Give either a NOAA station id (e.g. '9414290' for San Francisco) or a lat/lon (the nearest tide-prediction station is chosen automatically). Returns each high and low tide over the requested inclusive date range, in local station time, relative to the chosen tidal datum (default MLLW). Use it for tide tables, beach and boating planning, or coastal scheduling.
    water_levelsReturn the latest observed water level from a NOAA Tides & Currents (CO-OPS) station using the keyless public API - U.S. Government public-domain data. Give either a NOAA station id or a lat/lon (the nearest station is chosen automatically). Returns the observed water level relative to the chosen datum (default MLLW), the observation time in local station time, and the sample standard deviation when reported. Use it to check current real-world water level versus prediction.
    sun_timesCompute sunrise, sunset, solar noon, and civil twilight for any latitude/longitude on a given date. Times are computed in code from the standard NOAA solar-position equations (no third-party API is called, so the result is dependency-free and resale-safe). Times are returned in UTC by default; pass tz_offset (hours from UTC, e.g. -7 for US Pacific Daylight Time) to shift the output to local clock time. Polar day and polar night are reported when the sun does not rise or set. Use it for daylight planning, photography golden-hour timing, or agriculture and energy calculations.
    grants_searchSearch federal funding opportunities on Grants.gov (keyless). Filter by keyword, opportunity status (forecasted/posted/closed/archived), agency, funding category and eligibility. Returns opportunity number, title, agency, status, open/close dates and CFDA numbers.
    grants_get_opportunityFetch full detail for a Grants.gov opportunity by its numeric opportunity id (the 'id' field from grants_search, e.g. '334326'). Returns description, eligibility, funding (ceiling/floor/estimated), key dates, CFDA numbers and the agency contact.
    cpsc_recall_searchSearch U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) product recalls via SaferProducts.gov (keyless). Filter by product name/keyword, title, manufacturer, hazard, recall number, and date range. Returns recall number, date, title, products, hazards, remedy, manufacturers, injuries, and the official CPSC recall URL. Data: CPSC/SaferProducts.gov.
    cpsc_recent_recallsReturn the most recent U.S. CPSC product recalls (date-sorted, newest first) via SaferProducts.gov (keyless). Looks back a configurable window (default 90 days). Each result links to the official CPSC recall page. Data: CPSC/SaferProducts.gov.
    counterparty_risk_scoreCompute a composite 0-100 Counterparty Risk Score for a company name. Combines findings from sanctions screening (OFAC/UN/EU/BIS), SEC EDGAR (registered-filer signal), federal courts (litigation history), EPA ECHO (environmental enforcement), and USAspending (federal contract vetting) into a single weighted metric with an explainable evidence chain. Returns: score, risk band (clean/low/moderate/elevated/high/critical), itemized evidence with citations, sources queried, sources that failed, and a plain-text summary suitable for an AI agent to surface to a user. Sanctions hits zero the score regardless of other signals. Use this when you need a single-call counterparty risk verdict instead of stitching five separate queries.
    carrier_vetting_scoreVet a US motor carrier (trucking company) for a freight-brokerage review, in one call. Give a USDOT number, MC number, or carrier name. Joins FMCSA public safety data (operating authority, insurance on file, crash and out-of-service history vs the national average, safety rating, and CSA BASIC indicators where FMCSA publishes them) with sanctions screening (OFAC/UN/EU/BIS on the carrier's legal name), federal-court litigation history (CourtListener), and USAspending federal awards. Returns a GO / CAUTION / NO-GO decision-support result with reasons and the underlying fields. NO-GO is triggered by a sanctions match or lack of active operating authority; CAUTION by published BASIC alerts, fatal crashes, missing required liability insurance, high out-of-service rates, litigation, or an unavailable source. This is an analytical aid, not a substitute for your own carrier-onboarding checks.
    carrier_vetting_evidence_packProduce an auditable Carrier Vetting Pack for a freight broker. Resolve a US motor carrier by USDOT, MC, or legal name, then return the GO/CAUTION/NO-GO verdict, the exact FMCSA authority/insurance/safety evidence, sanctions/court/federal-award checks, source coverage and failures, retrieval timestamp, primary-source links, and a broker follow-up checklist. This is the evidence-first companion to carrier_vetting_score: use it when a human reviewer needs to save or forward the record. It is an analytical aid, not a substitute for direct FMCSA insurance and authority verification.
    carrier_vetting_batchVet a batch of up to 10 US motor carriers by USDOT number in one workflow call. Returns one GO/CAUTION/NO-GO result per carrier, source coverage and failures, key authority/insurance/safety signals, and an export in markdown (default), JSON, or CSV. Use this to screen a broker's candidate list or lane roster; each carrier is evaluated independently so one missing or unavailable record does not hide the others. This is an analytical aid, not a substitute for direct FMCSA verification.
    load_tender_fraud_shieldScreen a carrier before accepting or dispatching a load. Resolves the carrier and combines FMCSA authority, insurance, safety, sanctions, court, and federal-award evidence with the supplied tender context. Flags inactive authority, missing liability evidence, sanctions or litigation findings, broker-only records, and mismatches between the carrier's reported location and the tender contact address. Returns CLEAR, REVIEW, or BLOCK with reasons, source coverage, primary links, and a dispatcher verification checklist. This is an analytical fraud-screening aid, not a substitute for direct FMCSA or insurance verification.
    carrier_monitor_recheckRecheck an existing carrier snapshot and identify meaningful changes since the previous check. Accepts a DOT/MC/name plus the prior result or snapshot as previous_snapshot, then compares authority, identity, insurance summary, BASIC alerts, crashes, out-of-service indicators, safety rating, and verdict. Returns unchanged/changed status, a severity, field-level changes, and the next reviewer action. Store the returned current_snapshot in your own system and call this on a schedule; LiveDataLink does not silently retain customer watchlists.
    options_history_chainGet the full historical options chain for a ticker on a specific date (2019-2024). Returns every strike + expiration available that day with bid, ask, implied volatility, and all five Greeks (delta, gamma, theta, vega, rho). Use this for point-in-time backtesting, vol surface snapshots, or single-day analysis. Data source: DoltHub free options dataset, indexed in LiveDataLink's R2 storage.
    options_history_volhistGet per-day implied volatility and historical volatility summary for a ticker. Returns iv_current, hv_current, plus year-high/year-low markers for each. Useful for IV rank/percentile signals, vol regime detection, and time-series feature engineering. Much smaller payload than full chain data.
    options_history_contractTrack a specific options contract (same ticker + strike + expiration) over time. Returns all daily observations of that contract with its evolving bid/ask, IV, and Greeks. Useful for studying single-contract behavior leading up to expiration, gamma squeezes around specific strikes, etc.
    options_history_atm_ivGet the historical at-the-money implied volatility time series for a ticker. For each date, returns the strike closest to 50-delta and its IV. Default to call ATM IV but supports puts. Useful for VRP calculations, term structure, regime detection, and as a primary feature in directional/vol forecasting models.
    iv_analyticsCompute derived options-volatility analytics for a US ticker from LiveDataLink's historical volatility series (2019-2024): IV Rank (where current implied vol sits in its own range over the lookback window), IV Percentile (share of days with lower IV), Variance Risk Premium (implied minus realized vol), 52-week IV high/low, and 1-week/1-month IV momentum. Premium synthesis over the options-history store. Analytical aid, not investment advice.
    price_to_rent_ratioCompute the buy-vs-rent price-to-rent ratio for a US metro or state: Zillow home value (ZHVI) divided by annualized rent (ZORI x 12). Returns the ratio plus a rule-of-thumb signal (below ~15 favors buying, above ~20 favors renting). Premium synthesis over the real-estate market store. Rule-of-thumb only, not financial advice.
    recall_screenOne-call product-safety recall sweep across CPSC (consumer products), openFDA (drug/device/food enforcement), and NHTSA (vehicles). Provide a product/keyword/manufacturer query and/or a full vehicle (year+make+model). Results are normalized, deduped within and across sources, severity-rolled (FDA Class I or death-related = high), and summarized with a by-classification breakdown. A source that fails is noted, not fatal. Premium cross-source synthesis. Verify against the official sources before acting.
    org_funding_profileOne-call federal-money + nonprofit profile for an organization: USAspending contracts and grants recipient summaries (total dollars, award counts, top agencies), IRS 990 exempt-organization details (revenue/assets/income, NTEE, subsection, exempt status) by EIN or name+state, and optionally open Grants.gov OPPORTUNITIES (clearly labeled as available funding to apply for, NOT awards received). Sources degrade gracefully. Premium cross-source synthesis; federal dollars are name-matched and should be verified.
    bank_health_reportOne-call financial-health read for a US bank or savings institution. Give a bank name or an FDIC certificate (CERT) number. Joins FDIC BankFind institution + financials (total assets, deposits, net income, return on assets/equity, active-vs-failed status) with the CFPB Consumer Complaint Database (complaint volume and top complaint products for the matched company) into a HEALTHY / STABLE / WATCH / FAILED read with the numbers behind it. FDIC is the primary signal; CFPB complaint data is best-effort and degrades gracefully if the bank's complaint records cannot be matched. Useful for picking a sponsor/partner bank, treasury counterparty checks, or deposit-safety questions. Informational, not a rating or advice.
    location_risk_reportOne-call, site-bound hazard + environmental profile with an explainable 0-100 risk score. Geocodes an address (or takes lat/lon) then fans out to FEMA flood zone, recent FEMA disaster declarations (county), active NWS alerts, USGS earthquakes within 50km, EPA ECHO regulated facilities (by ZIP/state), and parcel records (Maryland statewide / Texas-Harris County only). The score starts at 100 and subtracts itemized deductions (flood SFHA, active alerts, declarations, EPA non-compliance, strong quakes). A failing source is noted, not fatal. Premium cross-source synthesis; not a substitute for a professional site assessment.
    resolve_entityCanonical cross-source entity resolution - the join-key primitive to run before other combos. Given a company/organization name (plus optional ticker/CIK/EIN/state hints), fans out across the LiveDataLink sources that carry a strong identifier and returns the best-matched canonical identity plus the IDs it resolves to: SEC EDGAR (CIK, ticker), GLEIF (LEI plus the ownership chain - direct and ultimate parent LEI and the reported subsidiary count), NPPES (organizational NPI for healthcare entities), IRS 990 (EIN), USAspending (federal recipient name), EPA ECHO (facility registry id), and an OFAC/EU/UN/BIS sanctions screen (match/no-match flag). Returns a compact canonical-IDs block with per-source confidence, an entity-type guess, an ownership summary, and an overall match confidence - distinct from entity_dossier's full narrative. A source that fails is noted, not fatal. UEI/SAM.gov and RDAP domain-owner ids are omitted (not wired sources). Premium cross-source synthesis; verify identifiers before relying on a join.
    security_exposureOne-call known-vulnerability exposure for a vendor/product/package, built on the LiveDataLink cyber domain. Fans out to NVD (CVE search by vendor+product or keyword), the CISA KEV catalog (actively-exploited flag - the highest signal), FIRST EPSS (exploit-probability scores for the most-severe CVEs), and aggregates MITRE CWE weakness types from the matched CVEs. Returns total CVEs, counts by CVSS severity band, KEV membership with the actively-exploited CVEs listed, the highest EPSS score, the critical CVEs, top CWE weakness types, an overall exposure rollup (KEV present -> high), and an evidence list. No matches returns a friendly 0-exposure result; if the cyber source is unavailable that is noted per-source. Exactly one NVD call per invocation. INFORMATIONAL security research, not advice. Package-registry maintenance/staleness signals are out of scope for this tool.
    energy_market_snapshotOne-call US energy market snapshot from EIA (public domain): the WTI crude (Cushing), Brent crude, and Henry Hub natural-gas benchmark prices, each enriched with derived context - latest level and date, 1-year change, where the current level sits within its own recent history (percentile), and the recent trend direction (rising/falling/flat). Answers 'what is oil/gas doing right now, and is it historically high or low' in a single call. A source that fails is noted, not fatal. Premium synthesis over the EIA domain; informational market data, not trading advice.
    environmental_site_riskOne-call environmental-compliance and contamination liability read for a SPECIFIC site or operator - the question a buyer, lender, or Phase-I ESA asks before a deal. Distinct from location_risk_report (which scores natural hazards plus a shallow count of nearby facilities): this drills DEEP into one named facility's EPA record via ECHO/FRS - overall compliance status, per-statute program standing (Clean Air/Water/RCRA/etc.), formal enforcement actions and penalty totals, significant-non-compliance and non-compliant-quarter flags - plus a best-effort parcel record for site context. Returns a verdict band (NO ADVERSE EPA RECORD / REVIEW RECOMMENDED / CONTAMINATION-COMPLIANCE CONCERN / NO FACILITY FOUND), the flags, and the evidence. A source that fails is noted, not fatal. This is an EPA public-record screen, not a Phase-I Environmental Site Assessment or a substitute for one. Premium cross-source synthesis.
    college_value_scoreOne-call 'is this degree worth the cost' read for a US college (and optionally a named program). Joins the College Scorecard / IPEDS education domain (average net price, six-year completion rate, median earnings ten years after entry, and - when a program is named - program-level median debt and 1-year earnings) with a keyless BLS wage context (CES average hourly earnings, annualized) to place those earnings against the broad US private-sector wage. Returns a plain read - STRONG VALUE / FAIR / WEAK VALUE / INSUFFICIENT DATA - with the cost-vs-earnings evidence itemized and each sub-signal scored. A source that fails is noted, not fatal. Premium cross-source synthesis; Scorecard earnings cover federally-aided students only and lag by years. Informational only, not admissions, financial, or career advice.
    issuer_diligence_dossierOne-call NARRATIVE public-record diligence dossier for a public company / SEC issuer. Joins SEC EDGAR (registrant identity, CIK/ticker, recent filings and their form mix), federal courts via CourtListener (RECAP dockets whose name references the issuer), USAspending (federal contract awards, name-matched), and CPSC product-safety recalls into a readable brief with a short headline and four sections: Identity & SEC, Litigation, Federal business, and Product-safety. Every source degrades gracefully - a failing leg is noted, not fatal. This is a narrative synthesis, deliberately distinct from counterparty_risk_score (a 0-100 score) and entity_dossier (SEC+EPA+sanctions only). Informational public-record synthesis, not a background check or legal/financial advice.
    company_trust_checkOne-call public-record trust read for a company - answers 'can I trust this company?' for KYB/vendor-diligence agents. Joins the LiveDataLink sources that carry a legitimacy or risk signal into a single standing read: an OFAC SDN / EU / UN / BIS sanctions screen (a hit is decisive), SEC EDGAR registration plus the latest filing date (legitimacy + recency), USAspending federal award history (the US government transacts with them), and EPA ECHO facility compliance (significant-non-compliance, penalty, and non-compliant-quarter flags). Returns a plain-English verdict band (ESTABLISHED PUBLIC-RECORD STANDING / STANDING WITH FLAGS / LIMITED FOOTPRINT / SANCTIONS SCREEN HIT), the positive signals, the flags to review, and the resolved identifiers. A source that fails is noted, not fatal. This is a public-record SIGNAL read, not a credit report, background check, or endorsement: absence of a record is not proof of wrongdoing and a match is not proof of guilt. Premium cross-source synthesis.
    product_liability_screenOne-call product-safety + liability read for a MANUFACTURER or brand. Joins three public-record legs: product recalls (CPSC consumer products + openFDA drug/device/food enforcement, keyed by manufacturer), federal-court litigation (CourtListener dockets whose caption actually names the brand), and CFPB consumer-complaint volume. Returns a rolled-up read (CLEAN / WATCH / ELEVATED LIABILITY SIGNALS) with recall count and severity (FDA Class I / death-related = high), litigation hits (total + last-3-years), and complaint volume, plus an itemized interpretation. A leg that fails is noted, not fatal. NHTSA vehicle recalls need a specific year+make+model so are out of scope here (use recall_screen for a vehicle). Premium cross-source synthesis; informational public-record synthesis, NOT legal advice.
    influence_network_mapOne-call 'follow the money and influence' map for an organization, joined across three federal public-record streams: FEC (the org's connected political committees / PACs - its political-spending vehicles), the U.S. Senate Lobbying Disclosure Act (filings where the org is the client, the reported lobbying spend, the firms it hired, and the issue areas lobbied), and USAspending (federal contracts + grants the org RECEIVES, with award counts and top agencies). Returns a readable map of money flowing OUT to influence (lobbying + political committees) vs. money flowing IN from federal awards. Built for investigative journalism, govcon, and due-diligence research. Informational public-record synthesis, NOT a risk score (distinct from counterparty_risk_score). The FEC leg needs an api.data.gov key and is noted as skipped if unavailable; a source that fails is noted, not fatal.
    market_size_estimatorOne-call TAM / market-size read for an industry (NAICS) in a US geography. Joins two independent federal sources that both count business activity by NAICS + area so each corroborates the other: US Census County Business Patterns (establishments, employment, annual payroll - needs a Census API key) and BLS QCEW (keyless: private establishment count, total wages, average annual pay, with employment implied from wages / avg pay). Returns the establishment count, employment, and a wage/payroll-based market-size anchor with the per-source evidence. Pass an 'industry' (e.g. 'restaurants', 'software publishers') or an explicit 'naics' code, and an optional 'state' or 'metro' (defaults to national). Market size here is the total annual wages/payroll paid in the industry+area - a concrete lower bound, NOT total revenue/receipts. A source that fails is noted, not fatal. Informational, not a guarantee.
    prescriber_ties_profileOne-call identity + industry-financial-ties transparency profile for a US healthcare prescriber. Joins two keyless federal sources: the NPPES NPI Registry (identity - NPI, specialty, city/state, active status) and CMS Open Payments / Sunshine Act (industry payments disclosed to that prescriber - total dollars, payment count, top paying manufacturers, and associated drugs/products for the most recent program year with data). Provide a last_name (ideally with first_name + state) or an exact 10-digit npi. The name resolver picks the NPPES record that genuinely matches the requested name (never a blind top hit), and payments are pinned to that exact NPI across recent program years. This is a TRANSPARENCY profile drawn from public records, NOT a judgment: industry payments to physicians are lawful and publicly disclosed, and their presence is not evidence of wrongdoing. A source that fails is noted, not fatal. Premium cross-source synthesis; verify against the primary sources.
    clinical_site_selectorOne-call clinical-trial-activity + local-specialist-availability read for a medical condition in a US geography - the question a trial sponsor, CRO, or site-feasibility analyst asks before choosing where to run a study. Joins three keyless public sources: ClinicalTrials.gov (exact count of RECRUITING trials for the condition, scoped to the geography and compared to the national total, plus the top lead sponsors and phase mix from the recruiting sample), the NPPES NPI Registry (local specialist availability - how many providers carry a specialty taxonomy relevant to the condition in the area, across physicians and NPs/PAs/pharmacists/RNs in the field), and optionally US Census ACS population context for the state (needs a Census key; degrades gracefully). The condition is mapped to a provider specialty heuristically; pass an explicit 'specialty' to override. Returns a readable brief with a headline banding trial activity (HIGH/MODERATE/LOW/NONE) and specialist availability. A source that fails is noted, not fatal. INFORMATIONAL research / site-feasibility synthesis, NOT medical advice or a directive to enroll in any trial.
    company_complaint_profileOne-call CONSUMER-RISK read for a company or brand, LED by the consumer-complaint picture. Joins three public-record legs, CFPB first: CFPB Consumer Complaint Database (complaint volume for the company plus the top complaint products and issues - the primary signal), product recalls (CPSC consumer products + openFDA drug/device/food enforcement, keyed by the company), and federal-court litigation (CourtListener dockets whose caption actually names the company). Returns a rolled-up read (LOW / MODERATE / ELEVATED consumer-risk signals) that leads with complaint volume and the top complaint products/issues, then folds in recall count and severity (FDA Class I / death-related = high) and litigation hits (total + last-3-years). A leg that fails is noted, not fatal. This is consumer-complaint-centered and distinct from product_liability_screen (recall/litigation-centered for manufacturers). NHTSA vehicle recalls need a specific year+make+model so are out of scope here (use recall_screen for a vehicle). Premium cross-source synthesis; informational public-record synthesis, NOT legal advice.
    supplier_esg_scorecardOne-call, source-linked ESG / supplier-risk signal read for a company. Joins three public-record governance-signal legs: EPA ECHO/FRS environmental compliance (significant-non-compliance flags, non-compliant quarters, penalties, and formal enforcement actions across the company's facilities, with correct filtering so clean 'No Violation Identified' statuses are never flagged), product recalls (CPSC consumer products + openFDA drug/device/food, keyed by the company), and federal-court litigation (CourtListener v4 dockets whose caption actually names the company). Returns a readable scorecard across Environmental / Product-safety / Litigation dimensions with a rolled-up read (LOW / MODERATE / ELEVATED ESG risk signals) and the evidence behind each. A leg that fails is noted, not fatal. This is informational public-record synthesis of ESG/supplier-risk signals, not an ESG rating, credit/background report, or investment advice. Review source terms before redistributing results.
    facility_care_qualityOne-call care-quality + provider-identity read for a named US healthcare FACILITY (hospital, nursing home, home-health agency, or hospice). Joins two keyless federal sources: CMS Care Compare (data.cms.gov) for the facility's quality signal - the CMS star rating and, for a hospital, the measure-group highlights (mortality, safety of care, readmission, timely-and-effective care measured better / no different / worse vs national), plus ownership, type, and for a nursing home the health-inspection / staffing / quality-measure star breakdown, certified beds, abuse flag, and fines - and the NPPES NPI Registry for the facility's legal identity (organizational NPI, taxonomy, city/state, active status). Provide a facility name (e.g. 'Cleveland Clinic', 'Mayo Clinic Hospital'); optionally add a 2-letter state to disambiguate and a type (hospital / nursing_home / home_health / hospice) to pin the CMS dataset. When no type is given the tool infers the provider category from the NPPES taxonomy and probes the CMS datasets in order. A leg that fails is noted, not fatal. This is an INFORMATIONAL public-record read, NOT medical advice, a substitute for CMS Care Compare, or an endorsement of any facility.
    disaster_recovery_profileOne-call disaster-history and recovery read for a US area (county or place), keyed by NAME + state - distinct from location_risk_report, which scores a single site by address/lat-lon. Joins FEMA's OpenFEMA disaster declarations (the area's federally-declared disaster history: incident types, frequency, most-recent event, and the federal-assistance signal - which programs, Individual Assistance / Individuals & Households / Public Assistance / Hazard Mitigation, were authorized) with optional US Census ACS county population for exposure context (keyed off the FIPS codes the FEMA records carry; needs a Census key and degrades gracefully) and an optional best-effort parcel record for property context when an address is given (Maryland statewide / Texas-Harris County only). Returns a readable profile with a headline banding the area's disaster exposure LOW / MODERATE / HIGH from the declaration record. The FEMA leg is keyless and is the core signal; a source that fails is noted, not fatal. INFORMATIONAL public-record synthesis, NOT an insurance rating, a property flood-risk score, or a professional risk assessment.
    talent_market_briefOne-call 'can I hire this role here, and at what cost' read for an occupation in a US geography. Joins two independent federal sources: BLS OEWS (Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, keyless) for the occupation's employment LEVEL and wage distribution (mean plus 10th / 50th-median / 90th annual percentiles) in the area, and US Census ACS labor-force context (civilian labor force and local unemployment rate - needs a Census API key) to band how TIGHT / BALANCED / SLACK the local hiring market is. Pass an 'occupation' (e.g. 'registered nurses', 'software developers') or an explicit 'soc_code' (e.g. '29-1141'), and an optional 'state' or 'metro' (defaults to national). Returns a readable brief with a headline (employment, median/mean wage, market tightness), the wage percentiles, and per-source evidence. The BLS OEWS leg is the core signal and is keyless; the Census leg degrades gracefully if no key is set. Informational, NOT a guarantee that a role can be filled at any given wage.
    cost_of_doing_business_indexOne-call comparative 'cost of operating a business here' read for a US state (with optional metro context). Joins three independent public sources, each a real operating-cost dimension expressed RELATIVE to the US national average (national = 1.00) so the result is a readable, comparable index: LABOR cost from BLS QCEW private-sector average annual pay across all industries (keyless), ENERGY cost from EIA retail electricity price for the commercial and industrial sectors (state vs national), and local CONTEXT from US Census ACS median household income, per-capita income, and median gross rent (needs a Census key; degrades gracefully). Returns a headline relative-cost banding (LOW / MODERATE / HIGH cost vs national) from a labor-weighted composite of the labor and energy indices, with each dimension's numbers and its own banding shown. Labor and energy are state-level; a supplied metro refines the context leg and label only. A source that fails is noted, not fatal. Informational, not a guarantee.
    corporate_ownership_treeOne-call FULL corporate-ownership tree for a company from GLEIF (keyless CC0 reference data). Give a company name or a 20-character LEI; the tool resolves the entity, climbs to its ULTIMATE parent (top of the ownership chain), then walks DOWN from that root to list the reported direct subsidiaries plus one level of grand-subsidiaries, each with its LEI, jurisdiction, and status (entity ACTIVE/INACTIVE + LEI registration ISSUED/LAPSED). The queried entity is marked in the tree so you can see where it sits. Distinct from resolve_entity, which returns the ultimate parent plus a subsidiary COUNT only: this returns the actual subsidiary LIST/tree for M&A, diligence, and counterparty mapping. The tree is capped (about 25 nodes) so a broad conglomerate stays bounded, with an 'and N more' note where GLEIF reports additional subsidiaries. Only relationships an entity self-reports to GLEIF are shown, so coverage varies by company. A failing hierarchy hop is noted, not fatal. Informational public-record synthesis; verify against GLEIF before relying on it.
    beneficial_owner_screenOne-call KYB/AML ownership-chain sanctions screen: answers the real question 'is anyone in this company's ownership chain sanctioned?', not just 'is the top-level name on a list?'. Give a company name or a 20-character LEI; the tool maps the ownership structure via GLEIF (keyless CC0 reference data) - the subject entity, its ULTIMATE parent (top of the chain), and its reported direct subsidiaries, capped at about 15 entities so a broad group stays bounded - then SCREENS each entity in that set against the local sanctions/watchlist matcher (OFAC SDN / EU / UN / BIS), the same first-party matcher company_trust_check uses. Returns the mapped ownership structure, a per-entity CLEAR / HIT result (each hit naming the matched list entry, source, and score), and an overall verdict: CLEAR (no entity matched) vs HITS-FOUND (at least one entity in the chain matched). This catches a sanctioned parent or subsidiary that screening only the counterparty name would miss - the exposure beneficial-ownership rules target. Best-effort: if GLEIF hops fail the subject is still screened; if the sanctions binding is unavailable the screen is noted as unavailable, never silently passed. Only relationships an entity self-reports to GLEIF are shown. A name match is not proof of identity and must be cleared. Informational public-record synthesis, not legal, compliance, or sanctions-clearance advice.
    shipper_receiver_counterparty_packCreate an evidence-backed counterparty pack for a shipper, receiver, or both. Resolves canonical identifiers, SEC/GLEIF/USAspending/EPA identity signals, sanctions status, and public-record standing, then returns a review checklist for credit terms and load release. Name matches are candidates to verify; this is not a credit report or endorsement.
    kyb_aml_evidence_case_fileAssemble a reusable KYB/AML evidence case file for one company. Combines canonical identity and join keys, GLEIF ownership-chain screening, and public-record standing across sanctions, SEC, EPA, and federal awards, with explicit unavailable-source notes and a reviewer checklist. Informational evidence organization, not legal advice or sanctions clearance.
    lane_location_risk_packCompare origin and destination risk for a logistics lane. Runs site-bound hazard/environmental profiles for both addresses and optionally adds FEMA disaster history for each area. Returns source coverage, point-in-time risk evidence, and an operational review checklist. This is informational public-record synthesis, not an insurance rating or route guarantee.
    bounce_scannerScreen one or more US tickers for a mean-reversion 'bounce' setup on daily bars: price near support (recent pivot low) or the moving average, RSI oversold and turning up, a bullish latest candle, and volume at/above its recent average. Returns per-symbol {isBounce, score 0-100, reasons, price, rsi, distanceToSupportPct, supportLevel}. ALL thresholds are tunable inputs (rsi_threshold, ma_period, proximity_pct, lookback_days) so calibration is a parameter change. HEURISTIC signal for research, not investment advice.
    candlestick_signalsDetect classic candlestick patterns on a ticker's recent daily bars: hammer, inverted hammer, bullish/bearish engulfing, doji, morning/evening star, and shooting star. Returns each detected pattern with {pattern, date, direction (bullish/bearish/neutral), barIndex}. HEURISTIC pattern detection with conservative default thresholds; for research, not investment advice.
    support_resistance_levelsReturn key support/resistance price levels for a US ticker from recent daily pivots (swing highs/lows) plus nearby round-number levels, with the latest close for context. HEURISTIC levels for research, not investment advice.
    entity_resolveResolve a company across US government sources in one call. Searches SEC EDGAR, EPA ECHO, and the sanctions lists by name and returns the candidate match and strong identifiers (SEC CIK, ticker, EPA registry id) found in each. Use this to confirm WHO an entity is and gather its IDs before pulling detail. Matches are name-based candidates to verify, not certain identity links.
    entity_dossierBuild a consolidated cross-source dossier for a company in one call: SEC registration and identifiers (EDGAR), environmental footprint and regulated facilities (EPA ECHO), and sanctions/denied-party screening (OFAC/UN/EU/BIS) with a confidence score. Returns a per-source summary plus top records. This is a single AI-native lookup across data that otherwise lives in separate silos. Matches are name-based; verify identity before relying on any link.
    search_available_datasetsYour guide to LiveDataLink's entire data catalog. Call this FIRST when you're unsure which tool to use, or when the user asks about data availability. LiveDataLink has 377 tools across 81 data domains: finance (stocks, options, SEC fund holdings), crypto, transportation/FMCSA carriers, property records, weather/air quality, vehicle VIN/recalls, package tracking, local business search, sanctions screening (OFAC SDN, EU, UN, BIS), FEMA disasters and flood data, federal courts (CourtListener), cybersecurity (CVE/CWE/EPSS/CISA KEV), US college metrics (IPEDS), EIA energy data (gasoline, natural gas, electricity, oil supply, renewables), FRED Federal Reserve macroeconomic series (GDP, CPI, fed funds, unemployment, yields), SEC EDGAR filings (10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, insider transactions), and NREL renewable energy (PVWatts solar, utility rates, EV charging stations), US Census demographics, EPA environmental compliance, FEC campaign finance, USPTO patents, IRS nonprofits (Form 990/EO BMF), US caselaw, public-domain books (full-text search), open-access scholarly papers (OpenAlex catalog + arXiv/PMC full-text search), federal regulations (Federal Register rules/notices + the Code of Federal Regulations), US Census geocoding (address to coordinates + Census geographies), Washington contractor licenses, EU tenders, federal grants (Grants.gov funding opportunities), and product recalls (CPSC / SaferProducts.gov). New domains are reviewed regularly based on observed requests. Returns exact tool names for matched domains AND logs every search to a roadmap database. High-frequency unmet queries jump the build queue. Use this freely; it costs no credits. Call for: 'what data do you have?', 'can you look up X?', 'do you have Y data?', 'what tools are available?', or any data coverage question. After you find a tool, call get_free_api_key with the user's real email for 1,000 monthly calls, or see https://livedatalink.ai/pricing for paid plans.
    list_tool_groupsList every tool group (category) available on LiveDataLink with its domain count and tool count. Use this to discover which groups exist, then connect to https://livedatalink.ai/mcp?groups=<comma,separated> (or send the header X-Tool-Groups: <comma,separated>) to load ONLY those groups. Filtering keeps the tool list small so an agent selects tools accurately and uses less context. Free to call, no credits consumed. Optional 'query' filters group names.
