What it can do
| Tool | What it says it does |
|---|---|
best_time_to_go | When to leave (or visit) to beat traffic and weather, for any US trip. Answers "what's a good time to visit X", "when should I leave for the airport", "is 5 PM bad". It checks up to 16 departures across the window and returns, for each: drive minutes for that weekday and hour… |
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… |
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… |
find_place | Look up a US address or place and get its coordinates. Use it to confirm which place the user means before planning, or when a trip tool answers needs_clarification. Returns up to `limit` matches with a ready-to-pass `coords` string for the *_coords arguments of the trip tools… |
get_area_history | What usually happens around a place: incidents and closures that started within the radius, by local hour and weekday, the common incident types and how long they typically last. Use it for "is this intersection bad at rush hour" or "when is it quietest around the stadium". These… |
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… |
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… |
get_coverage | Which states and sources CommuteScout covers right now, with each feed's freshness. Check it when an answer is unexpectedly empty. |
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… |
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… |
get_my_places | The user's saved places: Home, Work, favorites and recent destinations, synced from the CommuteScout site and apps. Available when this server is connected with the user's CommuteScout API key; otherwise `connected` is false and `message` says how to connect. The trip tools… |
get_nearby_events | Live road events near a point anywhere CommuteScout covers, not just California: 37 states today (get_coverage lists them). Data: the same multi-state feeds the live map shows, normalized - state DOT incidents, roadwork and closures, chain and traction advisories, and nationwide… |
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… |
get_traffic | Live traffic speed against free-flow speed on the road nearest each point, anywhere in the US (TomTom). Use it for "is the bridge backed up right now"; for a whole drive, plan_trip is better. |
get_weather | Hourly NWS forecast, active alerts and nearby road-weather stations for any US place, with driving hazards flagged by hour. Road-weather stations are state DOT sensors: pavement and air temperature, wind gusts and visibility, where a state publishes them. |
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… |
plan_trip | Everything about one drive between any two US places, in one call. Use this for "how's the drive to X", "how long to get to Y at 5", "anything on the way to Z". It returns: - the route (miles, main roads, alternatives) from the closure-aware planner the CommuteScout map uses… |
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… |
In its maker's words
