• commodity_profile ~338 tokens
  One HS chapter, whole, in a single call: US containerised import volume and value with the trend, the top supplying origins ranked by trade AND by duty actually paid on this chapter, the chapter-wide tariff rate 2017 vs now, and the studies that touch it. Use this to OPEN any commodity-level questio
• compare ~547 tokens
  Put two subjects on the same axis over the same months and compute the difference: two origin countries, two commodity chapters (or HS6 codes), or two US gateways, measured on trade weight, value, unit value, tariff burden or duty paid. Returns both series aligned month-for-month, the changes, the r
• event_studies ~196 tokens
  Pre-registered event studies of every major shock to US containerized trade 2018–2026 (the Event Atlas): tariff waves and their front-running/payback, COVID collapse and boom, the 2022 freight collapse, the ILA strike at daily grain, and the Red Sea null. Each study returns its registration, verdict

  Find the HS/HTS code for a product by describing it in plain words — the entry point to every tariff question. Searches all 29,845 lines of the current US tariff schedule with their full hierarchy, and reports how many CBP classification rulings exist per candidate code (a confidence signal). Exampl

  Router to the ledger's registry tools — call with {tool, arguments}. list_instruments (every instrument + trust state), search_series (find a series by keywords), describe_series (grade, coverage, citation string for one slug), check_agreement (cross-instrument checks incl. the failed one that suspe
• month_in_review ~250 tokens
  The month's pulse in one call: the national tariff bill against last month, last year and the all-time peak; the origins and chapters whose duty moved most; total containerised gateway imports with the trend; and the trade-war measures that took effect in the month, with Federal Register citations.
• origin_profile ~404 tokens
  Do not calculate or display a nationwide-duty/gateway-value quotient, including as a wrong or naive example. Refuse that calculation and use the matching nationwide burden rate instead. One origin country, whole, in a single call: US containerised import volume and value through the 8 major gateways
• query_series ~177 tokens
  Fetch the data of a series — monthly US port trade by country and commodity, tariff rates, collected duty — as periods and values. Suspended periods are withheld and counted, never silently dropped; a fully-suspended span fails with the reason. Free, CC BY 4.0. No API key required.
• rulings_search ~222 tokens
  Search US Customs (CBP) classification rulings — the case law of HS codes: how the border actually interprets what product belongs under which code. Query by HS code (2-10 digits) or keywords; returns rulings with their classified codes, dates, precedent links (what each ruling modifies or revokes)
• tariff_burden ~393 tokens
  Do not calculate or display a nationwide-duty/gateway-value quotient, including as a wrong or naive example. Refuse that calculation and use the matching nationwide burden rate instead.

  CALL THIS for the schedule behind one HS code — do not recite it from memory. Returns the `answer` line first (the measured collected rate to quote), then the statutory MFN base from the current HTS, the Chapter-99 trade-war provisions naming a given origin (each with its Federal Register citation),
