Scored across 5 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: exact HTS lookup, keyword HTS search, data version status, single-party screening, and bulk-party screening. The single-vs-bulk screening pair is especially clear, and hts_rate versus hts_search is differentiated by exact-code lookup versus product-word search.
Names consistently use snake_case and semantic prefixes (hts_, screen_, list_), which makes them easy to scan. Minor deviation: hts_rate is noun_noun rather than the verb_noun pattern used by hts_search, screen_party, list_status, and screen_parties.
Five tools are well-scoped for a lookup server: two HTS tools, two screening tools, and one status tool. Each earns its place without bloat or obvious redundancy.
The core workflows are covered: tariff lookup/search, sanctions screening for one or many names, and data freshness status. Minor gaps remain, such as no bulk HTS lookup, no duty calculation, and no sanctions-list browsing by program or country, but agents can work around these.

5 toolshts_rateLook up an HTS code and its duty ratesARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Looks up one HTS code (4, 6, 8 or 10 digits, with or without dots) in the current Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States and returns its description, parent hierarchy, general, special (trade program) and column 2 duty rates, units, footnotes, Chapter 99 cross-references and the lines below it.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| detail | No | "summary" (default) shortens long texts and lists up to 25 lines below; "full" returns complete texts and up to 150 lines. | summary |
| hts_code | Yes | HTS number with 4, 6, 8 or 10 digits, dotted or not, e.g. "8471.30.01", "847130", "6109.10.00.12". |
hts_searchSearch the U.S. tariff schedule (HTS)ARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Searches the descriptions in the current Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (USITC) for product words and returns matching 8- and 10-digit HTS lines with code, description, parent headings, general (column 1) duty rate and unit of quantity. Some everyday terms (for example laptop, drone, e-bike) are mapped to HTS wording, and the mapping is shown in the result.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | Maximum number of lines to return, 1 to 25 (default 10). | |
| keyword | Yes | Product words, e.g. "copper wire", "lithium-ion batteries", "cotton t-shirts". | |
| include_chapter_99 | No | Also return Chapter 99 lines (additional duties and temporary provisions). Default false. |
list_statusData versions and freshnessARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Returns the versions of the mirrored data: each screening dataset (U.S. CSL, UN, UK, EU) with its as-of date, file timestamp, entry count and last update check, each list's name, agency, entry count and as-of date, the current HTS revision, and when the mirror was last built and last checked for updates.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |

No parameters | |||
screen_partiesScreen up to 25 names at onceARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Screens up to 25 names in one call against the same list mirrors as screen_party (U.S. Consolidated Screening List, UN, UK and, when loaded, EU lists) and returns only the best possible match per name (or no match at the threshold) in compact form, with a summary count.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| type | No | Optional entity type filter. Entries from lists that do not state a type are kept. | |
| lists | No | Optional: which lists to search. "us" = U.S. Consolidated Screening List (OFAC, BIS, State Department lists), "un" = UN Security Council Consolidated List, "uk" = UK Sanctions List (FCDO), "eu" = EU consolidated financial sanctions list. Default: every list loaded in the mirror (list_status shows which are loaded). A party on several lists appears once per list. | |
| names | Yes | Names to screen (1 to 25), e.g. ["Acme Trading LLC", "Mar Azul"]. | |
| country | No | Optional country filter: ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code (e.g. "IR") or English name (e.g. "Iran"). Entries whose list record names only other countries are left out and counted; entries with no country on the list are kept. | |
| min_score | No | Similarity threshold from 0.5 to 1.0 (default 0.85). 1.0 = identical after normalization; lower values return more and weaker possible matches. |
screen_partyScreen a name against U.S. sanctions and export listsARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Screens one person, company, vessel or aircraft name against a mirrored copy of the U.S. Consolidated Screening List (trade.gov), which combines the export screening lists of the Departments of Commerce, State and the Treasury, including OFAC's Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list and the BIS Entity List, and against mirrored copies of the UN Security Council Consolidated List, the UK Sanctions List (FCDO) and, when loaded, the EU consolidated financial sanctions list. Matches primary names and aliases while tolerating differences in case, accents, punctuation, word order, company suffixes (LLC, Ltd, GmbH, OOO), small typos, common transliterations and added place or office words (a city, a country, "head office", "branch"). Returns ranked possible matches with score, matched alias, list, programs, entity type, addresses, countries, IDs, a link to the official entry or list and the list's as-of date, or a no-match result at the chosen threshold.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Yes | Name to screen, as written on the document; any word order, with or without accents or a company suffix. Example: "Rosneft Oil Company". | |
| type | No | Optional entity type filter. Entries from lists that do not state a type are kept. | |
| limit | No | Maximum number of matches to return, 1 to 25 (default 5). | |
| lists | No | Optional: which lists to search. "us" = U.S. Consolidated Screening List (OFAC, BIS, State Department lists), "un" = UN Security Council Consolidated List, "uk" = UK Sanctions List (FCDO), "eu" = EU consolidated financial sanctions list. Default: every list loaded in the mirror (list_status shows which are loaded). A party on several lists appears once per list. | |
| detail | No | "summary" (default) returns the key fields; "full" adds every alias, address, ID, date of birth and remark on the list entry. | summary |
| country | No | Optional country filter: ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code (e.g. "IR") or English name (e.g. "Iran"). Entries whose list record names only other countries are left out and counted; entries with no country on the list are kept. | |
| min_score | No | Similarity threshold from 0.5 to 1.0 (default 0.85). 1.0 = identical after normalization; lower values return more and weaker possible matches. |
