## Tools (as reported by the server, not verified)

- `check\_route`: Check current conditions along a major California highway corridor. The flagship trip-check tool: give it a start and end place and it returns everything active along that stretch right now - CHP incidents, lane closures physically in place, chain controls, and wildfires within \~10 miles - ordered b
- `check\_region`: Full current-conditions report for a California region. Use this for area-scale questions \("how is the Bay Area?", "what's happening in SoCal?"\) instead of stitching together point queries. It sweeps every source over the whole region at once: CHP incidents \(severity-sorted, worst first\), lane closu
- `get\_incidents`: Live CHP traffic incidents statewide, optionally filtered. Data: the California Highway Patrol statewide computer-aided dispatch feed - collisions, traffic hazards, disabled vehicles, closures as CHP logs them. Refreshes about once a minute; incidents disappear when CHP closes the log. Fetched live
- `get\_lane\_closures`: Caltrans lane and road closures physically in place RIGHT NOW. Data: the Caltrans Lane Closure System \(LCS\). Only closures that crews have actually established \(CHP code 1097\) and not yet picked up are returned - scheduled-but-not-started closures are excluded, so this is "what is blocking lanes now
- `get\_chain\_controls`: Current chain-control requirements on California mountain highways. Data: Caltrans chain-control status for fixed checkpoints on mountain routes \(I-80 Donner, US-50 Echo Summit, SR-88, SR-89, and others\). Levels: R-1 = chains OR snow tires required; R-2 = chains required except 4WD/AWD with snow tir
- `get\_wildfires`: Active California wildfires, flagged when close to a major highway. Data: the interagency WFIGS current-wildfire feed \(NIFC\) - name, size in acres, percent contained, discovery date. Points are each fire's ORIGIN, not its perimeter: a large fire can affect roads far from this point. Refresh: 5-minut
- `rank\_routes`: Which major corridors have the most going on right now. Answers broad questions like "what are the busiest routes", "where is traffic worst", or "which highways should I avoid today" across all 17 tracked corridors. by="activity" ranks on live events \(full closures weigh most, then incidents, lane c
- `get\_cameras`: Live Caltrans roadside camera snapshots near a point or on a route. Data: \~3,000 in-service Caltrans cameras statewide. Every returned image\_url was verified live moments ago \(offline cameras that serve a placeholder frame are filtered out\), so images can be shown directly. Snapshots refresh roughly
- `get\_road\_signs`: What Caltrans changeable message signs are displaying right now. Data: statewide CMS sign text, blank and out-of-service signs already filtered - every record is a message a driver is physically seeing. Signs carry the road's operational truth \("CHAINS REQUIRED 10 MI AHEAD", "FULL CLOSURE HWY 96 DUE
- `get\_nearby\_events`: Live road events near a point anywhere CommuteScout covers, not just California: 37 states today, growing. Data: the same multi-state feeds the live map shows, normalized - state DOT incidents, roadwork and closures, chain and traction advisories, and nationwide wildfires. Every event names its publ
