The three functional clusters are mostly separable: check_public_domain vs check_public_domain_full are clearly differentiated by depth, and the sanctions trio (wallet / name / list status) targets distinct inputs. The weakest overlap is between copyright_rules_for_year, check_public_domain and public_domain_day, which all answer 'is this PD?' in slightly different ways, though the descriptions steer an agent reasonably well. check_property_risk is unambiguous but belongs to a different domain entirely.
All names are snake_case and most lead with a verb (check_, screen_, search_), which makes the set easy to scan. A few deviate into noun phrases (copyright_rules_for_year, public_domain_day, sanctions_list_status), a minor inconsistency rather than a real obstacle.
Nine tools is a well-scoped count with no obvious filler, and each tool maps to a real step in a workflow. The issue is not the number but that the count is spread across three unrelated domains (copyright, natural-hazard risk, OFAC sanctions) under a 'Public Domain Check' banner.
The copyright surface is genuinely complete: rules-only triage, quick and full status checks, renewal/rightsholder lookup, and public-domain-day, forming a coherent decision path. Sanctions screening covers name, wallet and list metadata; the sole gap is check_property_risk being a lone tool with no complement (e.g. no batch or geocode helper), and the server's stated purpose doesn't explain why sanctions/property tools exist.

9 toolscheck_property_riskFEMA flood zone and seismic risk for a US addressARead-onlyInspect
One-call natural hazard report for a US address or coordinates: overall risk and its drivers, FEMA flood zone and flood-insurance requirement, ratings for wildfire, hurricane, tornado, heat, flooding, earthquake and more, and the county's disaster history. Use when evaluating, listing, insuring or financing a property, or when asked about flood zones or natural hazard risk at an address. Not charged if the address can't be found. Costs $0.02 (x402, USDC on Base).
Inputs: lat, lon, address.
check_public_domainCheck US public-domain statusARead-onlyInspect
Check whether a specific book, film, song, recording or artwork is in the US public domain, and the date it enters it. Use this instead of answering from memory when the work was published 1929–1963 (its status depends on a copyright renewal that models usually don't know), when the work is obscure, or when you need a citable answer before quoting, reprinting, adapting, selling or training on it. Looks up 2.38M US Copyright Office registrations and 434k renewals; a title is usually enough for 1923–1977 books. Returns status, date, confidence, a one-line reason and record IDs, plus a second opinion from HathiTrust's human copyright reviewers and a free-copy link when there is one. Add countries=uk,eu,canada,australia,japan,china,india (or all) to get the answer for those countries in the same call. Not charged if it can't answer. Costs $0.01 (x402, USDC on Base).
Inputs: title (required), type, year, author, +4 more.
check_public_domain_fullCheck US public-domain status (full detail)ARead-onlyInspect
Same check as check_public_domain, but with the complete reasoning, every matching registration and renewal record, and all caveats. Use when you must show your work, cite sources in detail, or audit the decision. Costs $0.02 (x402, USDC on Base).
Inputs: title (required), type, year, author, +4 more.
check_wallet_sanctionsCheck a crypto wallet against OFAC sanctionsARead-onlyInspect
Check whether a crypto wallet address is on the US Treasury OFAC sanctions lists. Call this before paying an unknown counterparty, onboarding a wallet, or accepting funds. Covers Bitcoin, Ethereum/EVM, USDT, USDC, Tron, Litecoin, Monero, Solana and more; refreshed every 12 hours. Costs $0.002 (x402, USDC on Base).
Inputs: address (required).
copyright_rules_for_yearUS copyright rule for a publication year (free)ARead-onlyInspect
Free. Given a publication year (and type of work), say which US copyright rule applies and whether a records lookup is needed. Call this first when you only know the year: many years are settled by the rules alone.
Inputs: year (required), type, work_for_hire, author_death_year.
public_domain_dayPublic Domain Day (free)CRead-onlyInspect
Free. What enters the US public domain on January 1 of a given year.
Inputs: year.
sanctions_list_statusSanctions list status (free)ARead-onlyInspect
Free. Which OFAC lists are loaded, how many entries and wallet addresses, and when they were last refreshed.
Inputs: no named parameters.
screen_sanctions_nameScreen a name against OFAC sanctions listsARead-onlyInspect
Screen a person, company, vessel or aircraft name against the US Treasury OFAC SDN and Consolidated sanctions lists, including aliases. Use before onboarding a customer, paying a supplier or signing a counterparty. Returns no_match, potential_match or strong_potential_match with the best candidate and a one-line reason. Costs $0.003 (x402, USDC on Base).
Inputs: name (required), type.
search_copyright_renewalsSearch US copyright renewal recordsARead-onlyInspect
Find who renewed a 1929–1963 work's US copyright and when: usually the current rightsholder or their estate. Use when you need to know whom to ask for permission or a license. Costs $0.01 (x402, USDC on Base).
Inputs: year, limit, title, author.
