Includes all 16 passes (Snoqualmie, Stevens, White, Blewett, Cayuse, etc.). Use for "is the pass open?", traction law status, or winter driving planning. Output parameters: - `notice` (string): Optional notice when no pass data is available — e.g. API temporarily unavailable. Absent on normal results. - `passes` (array): All WA mountain pass conditions. - `totalCount` (number): Total number of passes returned. ### `wsdot_search_alerts` (~416 tokens) Search Highway Alerts Returns active WA highway alerts: incidents, construction, closures, and restrictions. Filter by state route ("I-90", "90", "SR 520", or "520" all work), WSDOT region (Northwest, Olympic, Southwest, South Central, North Central, Eastern), or milepost range, matched against the alert's full extent. Omit all filters to return all current statewide alerts. Results are ordered by alertId and paged — pass offset/limit to page through the full set (the notice reports the next offset). Input parameters: - `endMilepost` (number): End of the milepost range. Matched by extent overlap like startMilepost, so an alert beginning inside the range and continuing past it is returned. - `limit` (integer): Maximum alerts to return in this page (1–500). Defaults to 50. - `offset` (integer): Zero-based index of the first alert to return, for paging. Defaults to 0. - `region` (string): WSDOT region name as it appears in alert data: "Northwest", "Olympic", "Southwest", "South Central", "North Central", or "Eastern". Matching is case-insensitive. - `startMilepost` (number): Start of the milepost range. An alert matches when its extent overlaps the range, so a closure running from MP 10 to MP 30 is returned for a range starting at MP 20. Either bound may be given alone.… - `stateRoute` (string): State route to filter by. Accepts natural forms — "I-90", "90", "090", "SR 520", "520" — matched case- and space-insensitively to the route number. A route-type prefix is compared only when both side… Output parameters: - `alerts` (array): Matching highway alerts. - `appliedFilters` (object): Active filters applied to the alert search. - `hasMore` (boolean): True when more alerts remain beyond the current page. - `nextOffset`: Offset to pass to retrieve the next page, or null when this is the last page. - `notice` (string): Informational note about the page window, or guidance when no alerts matched the filters or the offset ran past the end. - `totalCount` (number): Total alerts matching the filters across all pages (not just this page). ### `wsdot_get_travel_times` (~278 tokens) Get Travel Times Returns current vs. average travel times for named WA highway corridors (I-5, I-90, SR 520, SR 99, I-405, SR 167, etc.). Use for "how congested is I-5?" or commute time estimates. The route filter matches two ways: a route designation ("I-5", "5", "SR 520") returns every corridor measured on that route, and any text also matches corridor names ("Everett"). When current time exceeds average, the corridor is congested. Results are paged — pass offset/limit to page through the full set (the notice reports the next offset). Input parameters: - `limit` (integer): Maximum corridors to return in this page (1–500). Defaults to 50. - `offset` (integer): Zero-based index of the first corridor to return, for paging. Defaults to 0. - `route` (string): Optional filter. A route designation — "I-5", "5", "005", "SR 520", "520" — matches every corridor whose start or end point is on that route, whichever form the feed reports. Any text also matches th… Output parameters: - `corridors` (array): Travel time corridors matching the filter. - `hasMore` (boolean): True when more corridors remain beyond the current page. - `nextOffset`: Offset to pass to retrieve the next page, or null when this is the last page. - `notice` (string): Informational note about the page window, or guidance when no corridors matched the route filter or the offset ran past the end. - `routeFilter` (string): The route name filter applied (lowercased), or absent if no filter was used. - `totalCount` (number): Total corridors matching the filter across all pages (not just this page). ### `wsdot_get_toll_rates` (~176 tokens) Get Toll Rates Returns current dynamic toll rates for WA express lanes and tolled facilities: SR 99 (WSDOT Tunnel), SR 167 HOT Lanes, I-405 Express Lanes, SR 509 tolled segment, and the SR 520 Bridge. Rates are time-banded and change dynamically based on traffic conditions. stateRoute is a bare, zero-padded route number ("099", "405") — the posted designation is in the rendered text. Results are paged — pass offset/limit to page through the full set (the notice reports the next offset). Input parameters: - `limit` (integer): Maximum toll rates to return in this page (1–500). Defaults to 50. - `offset` (integer): Zero-based index of the first toll rate to return, for paging. Defaults to 0. Output parameters: - `hasMore` (boolean): True when more toll rates remain beyond the current page. - `nextOffset`: Offset to pass to retrieve the next page, or null when this is the last page. - `notice` (string): Informational note about the page window, or guidance when no toll rate data is available or the offset ran past the end. - `rates` (array): Current toll rates for all active tolled facilities. - `totalCount` (number): Total toll rate entries across all pages (not just this page). ### `wsdot_get_border_waits` (~171 tokens) Get Border Wait Times Returns current vehicle wait times at WA→Canada land border crossings: I-5 (Peace Arch, Blaine), SR 543 (Pacific Highway, Blaine), SR 539 (Lynden), and SR 9 (Sumas). Each crossing reports a general-purpose lane and a Nexus lane; SR 539 adds a truck lane and SR 543 adds truck and FAST truck lanes — eleven entries in crossings[], one per lane. crossingName is a route code (e.g. "I5", "I5Nexus", "SR543Trucks"); the readable name is in location.description. Wait times are in minutes. A crossing reporting no current data is still returned — only waitTimeInMinutes is omitted. Use for "how long is the border wait?" questions. Output parameters: - `crossings` (array): All WA/Canada border crossing wait times. - `notice` (string): Optional notice when no crossing data is available. Absent on normal results. - `totalCount` (number): Total number of crossings returned. ### `wsdot_search_cameras` (~369 tokens) Search Highway Cameras Returns WSDOT highway camera locations, descriptions, and image URLs. Camera images are copyright WSDOT — only metadata and image URLs are returned, not image bytes. Filter by state route ("I-90", "90", "SR 520", or "520" all work), WSDOT region, or milepost range. Results are ordered by cameraId and paged — pass offset/limit to page through the full set (the notice reports the next offset). Input parameters: - `endMilepost` (number): End of milepost range to filter cameras. - `limit` (integer): Maximum cameras to return in this page (1–500). Defaults to 50. - `offset` (integer): Zero-based index of the first camera to return, for paging. Defaults to 0. - `region` (string): WSDOT region code: NW (Northwest), SW (Southwest), OL (Olympic), ER (Eastern), SC (South Central), OS (Olympic South), NC (North Central), or WA (statewide). Matching is case-insensitive. - `startMilepost` (number): Start of milepost range to filter cameras. - `stateRoute` (string): State route to filter by. Accepts natural forms — "I-90", "90", "090", "SR 520", "520" — matched case- and space-insensitively to the route number. Camera road names carry a route-type prefix, which… Output parameters: - `appliedFilters` (object): Active filters applied to the camera search. - `cameras` (array): Camera metadata and image URLs. Images are copyright WSDOT. - `hasMore` (boolean): True when more cameras remain beyond the current page. - `nextOffset`: Offset to pass to retrieve the next page, or null when this is the last page. - `notice` (string): Informational note about the page window, copyright, or empty results. Absent when not applicable. - `totalCount` (number): Total cameras matching the filters across all pages (not just this page). ### `wsdot_get_ferry_terminals` (~83 tokens) Get Ferry Terminals Returns all WSF ferry terminals with their numeric IDs, names, and abbreviations. Call this first to resolve human-readable terminal names (e.g. "Bainbridge Island", "Seattle", "Kingston") to the numeric terminal IDs required by the schedule and space tools. The terminal list is small (20 terminals) and rarely changes. Output parameters: - `notice` (string): Optional notice when no terminal data is available. Absent on normal results. - `terminals` (array): All WSF ferry terminals. - `totalCount` (number): Total number of terminals returned. ### `wsdot_get_ferry_routes` (~125 tokens) Get Ferry Routes Returns the main WSF ferry routes operating on a given date. Route IDs correspond to impactedRouteIds in ferry alerts from wsdot_get_ferry_alerts, though some alert route IDs (seasonal, San Juan interisland, or Sidney B.C.) may not appear in this list. To get terminal IDs for schedule and space lookups, use wsdot_get_ferry_terminals. Input parameters: - `tripDate` (string): Date for which to list routes, in ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DD). Defaults to today if omitted. Output parameters: - `notice` (string): Optional notice when no routes are available for the date. Absent on normal results. - `routes` (array): Ferry routes operating on the requested date. - `totalCount` (number): Total number of routes returned. - `tripDate` (string): Date for which routes were retrieved (ISO 8601). ### `wsdot_get_ferry_schedule` (~281 tokens) Get Ferry Schedule Returns departure times for a specific WSF ferry route on a given date. Requires numeric terminal IDs — use wsdot_get_ferry_terminals to resolve terminal names to IDs. Set remainingOnly to true to show only future departures for today (useful for "next ferry" queries). For future dates, all sailings for that day are returned. Sailing times are ISO 8601 UTC while tripDate is the Pacific service day, so evening sailings carry the next UTC date — convert to America/Los_Angeles before quoting a clock time. Cancellations are not carried here — WSF drops a cancelled sailing from the schedule instead of flagging it, so a listed sailing is not confirmation that it will run. Check wsdot_get_ferry_alerts for disruptions; those are scoped to a route, not an individual sailing. Input parameters: - `arrivingTerminalId` (number, required): Numeric ID of the arriving terminal. - `departingTerminalId` (number, required): Numeric ID of the departing terminal. Use wsdot_get_ferry_terminals to look up terminal IDs. - `remainingOnly` (boolean): When true, returns only future sailings for today. Ignored for future dates. Default: false. - `tripDate` (string): Date in ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DD). Defaults to today if omitted. Output parameters: - `arrivingTerminalName` (string): Arriving terminal name. - `departingTerminalName` (string): Departing terminal name. - `notice` (string): Optional notice when no sailings are found — e.g. invalid terminal pair or no service for this date. Absent when sailings are present. - `remainingOnly` (boolean): Whether the result shows only remaining sailings. - `sailings` (array): Scheduled sailings for this route and date. - `totalSailings` (number): Total number of sailings returned. - `tripDate` (string): Date of the schedule (ISO 8601). ### `wsdot_get_vessel_locations` (~77 tokens) Get Vessel Locations Returns real-time AIS positions, speed, heading, ETA, and dock status for all active WSF vessels. Use for "where is the ferry now?", vessel tracking, or checking if a vessel is in service. Position data may lag by 30–60 seconds. Many fields are null for vessels not currently operating. Output parameters: - `notice` (string): Optional notice when no vessel data is available. Absent on normal results. - `totalCount` (number): Total number of vessels returned. - `vessels` (array): All WSF vessels with real-time position data. ### `wsdot_get_terminal_space` (~258 tokens) Get Terminal Space Returns real-time drive-up and reservable vehicle space available at WSF terminals for upcoming sailings. Use for "will I make the ferry?" or "how full is the next sailing?" questions. Optionally filter to a specific terminal by ID (use wsdot_get_ferry_terminals for the ID). driveUpSpaceCount is the key field — zero means the drive-up lane is full. Destinations are arrivingTerminalIds, not the itineraryLabel string: a sailing can serve several terminals, and those IDs are what wsdot_get_ferry_schedule accepts. Results are paged by terminal (default 5, max 20): offset/limit select whole terminals and totalCount counts matching terminals, not sailings — every sailing of a returned terminal is included, so page size varies with how many departures each terminal carries. Input parameters: - `departingTerminalId` (number): Filter to a specific terminal by numeric ID. Omit to return all terminals. - `limit` (integer): Maximum terminals to return in this page (1–20). Defaults to 5. Counts terminals, not sailings. - `offset` (integer): Zero-based index of the first terminal to return, for paging. Defaults to 0. Output parameters: - `hasMore` (boolean): True when more terminals remain beyond the current page. - `nextOffset`: Offset to pass to retrieve the next page, or null when this is the last page. - `notice` (string): Informational note about the page window, or guidance when no terminal space data is available, the filter matched nothing, or the offset ran past the end. - `terminalFilter` (number): The terminal ID filter applied, or absent if no filter was used. - `terminals` (array): Terminal space availability by terminal. - `totalCount` (number): Total terminals matching the filter across all pages (not just this page). Counts terminals, not sailings. ### `wsdot_get_ferry_alerts` (~121 tokens) Get Ferry Alerts Returns active WSF ferry service disruptions, delays, and bulletins. Each alert carries a one-line summary plus the bulletin title, kind, and full body — the body is where detail such as a replacement sailing appears. Each alert includes impacted route IDs — cross-reference with wsdot_get_ferry_routes to resolve route IDs to human-readable route names. Some IDs (seasonal, San Juan interisland, or international Sidney B.C. routes) may not appear in wsdot_get_ferry_routes for a given date. Output parameters: - `alerts` (array): Active ferry service alerts and disruptions. - `notice` (string): Optional notice when no alerts are active. Absent when alerts are present. - `totalCount` (number): Total number of active alerts. ## Diagnostics Captured diagnostic sections: TLS, DNSSEC, Authorisation, Transports.
