MCP tools · 7 exposed · ~2,122 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Tool Tokens
estimate ~103

Pre-price an invocation chain BEFORE spending money. Each step is either a concrete offering ("node_id/offering_id") or a `select` query that picks the best match, plus expected input and output tokens. Returns per-step cost bounds in USD, the pinned card_revision that makes each estimate enforceable at invocation, and chain totals. Use it to compare routes or budget a multi-model pipeline; nothing is invoked or charged.

NameTypeReqDescription
stepsarrayyesSteps in execution order.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

find_locations ~459

Where AI models are served, by country: every known serving site (provider, region, city or facility, live or planned) with its evidence basis (claimed, documented, measured, attested), its source page, a map point (`geo`: lat, lon, precision; `derived` when only the region is known), and the models it serves. Sites whose provider publishes no model list are included with a note. Built from node cards, imported catalogs and curated location seeds. Use it to answer "which providers serve which models in Canada" or "what serves gpt-oss within 500 km of Montréal", or to check a residency requirement before choosing an offering; then search_offerings with `region` to pick one.

NameTypeReqDescription
availabilitystring–With a residency filter: count only commitments offered this widely: default (every customer), opt_in (adds settings and regional endpoints), enterprise (adds contract-only offers; the default).
basisstring–Minimum evidence for a site: claimed < documented < measured < attested.
countrystring–ISO 3166 code; a country also matches its subdivisions, e.g. "CA" matches "CA-QC". Omit for every country.
exclude_lineagestring–Comma-separated ISO country codes; drops models whose declared lineage includes any of them, e.g. "CN".
modelstring–Substring of a model name or artifact, e.g. "gpt-oss" or "command". Keeps only sites serving a match.
nearstring–A point as "lat,lon" in decimal degrees, e.g. "45.50,-73.57" for Montréal. Adds distance_km to each site and sorts nearest first.
residencystring–Only sites covered by a residency commitment at least this strong: processing (inference and stored data stay in the area) or storage (data at rest only).
statusstring–Only live or only planned sites. Omit for both.
within_kmnumber–With `near`: only sites within this great-circle distance. Sites known only to the country are excluded, since their point is a placeholder.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

find_residency ~283

What each AI provider officially promises about where prompts, outputs and stored data stay: per provider (cloud, lab API, inference host or router), its commitments, each with a commitment level (processing: inference and stored data stay in the scope; storage: data at rest only; none; unstated), the region codes it covers, who gets it (default, opt_in, enterprise), the programme name, a short statement and the source page with the date it was checked. Includes routers and providers with no known sites. Use it to answer "which providers keep data in the EU by default" before choosing an offering; then find_locations or search_offerings with `region`.

NameTypeReqDescription
availabilitystring–With a residency filter: count only commitments offered this widely: default (every customer), opt_in (adds settings and regional endpoints), enterprise (adds contract-only offers; the default).
commitmentstring–Minimum commitment: processing, or storage (which also matches processing).
kindstring–Only providers of this kind.
node_idstring–Only the provider that covers this registry node id.
scopestring–Region code, e.g. "EU", "DE", "US", "CA". Keeps providers with a processing or storage commitment whose scope lies within it. EU and EEA cover their member states.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_node ~164

Who runs a node and how it has behaved: operator, country and regions, endpoints, declared hardware, trust tier and its history (verifications, suspensions, reinstatements, with reasons), recent registry probe results with an availability summary, and its offerings with context window and price. Use it to vet a provider before relying on it; take node_id from search_offerings, recommend or get_offering results. For one offering's full card, use get_offering.

NameTypeReqDescription
node_idstringyesReverse-DNS node id, e.g. "io.opennodes.demo-node" or "import.openrouter.ai".
offering_limitinteger–Maximum offerings to list; imported catalogs can hold hundreds. `offerings_total` always gives the full count.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_offering ~104

Full detail for one offering: endpoints, pricing, serving capabilities (context window, supported features, languages, hardware), data policy, trust tier, and the registry's observed probe results. Take node_id and offering_id from search_offerings or recommend results.

NameTypeReqDescription
node_idstringyesReverse-DNS node id, e.g. "io.opennodes.demo-node".
offering_idstringyesOffering id within that node, as returned by search_offerings.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

recommend ~256

Recommend the best AI node + model for a task, with an enforceable cost estimate and human-readable reasons. Use this first when you know the task but not the model. Pass `task` (sent to this registry, which extracts features and discards the text) or `features` already extracted on your side with extractFeatures from @opennodes/core, which keeps the prompt private. Returns ranked candidates with score components, a cost estimate pinned to the node's card revision, an optional cheaper two-step scenario, and MCP tool categories the task likely needs. To browse instead, use search_offerings; to price a specific chain, use estimate.

NameTypeReqDescription
est_output_tokensinteger–Expected answer length in tokens, if known. Improves the cost estimate; otherwise inferred from the task.
featuresobject–Features from extractFeatures(prompt) in @opennodes/core: task class, size, language and needs, no prompt text. Give this or `task`.
policyobject–Optional constraints and preferences for the recommendation.
taskstring–The task description or the prompt itself. Sent to the registry for feature extraction; use `features` to keep it private. Give this or `features`.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

search_offerings ~753

Search AI inference offerings in the OpenNodes registry — registered nodes AND imported catalogs (OpenRouter, Hugging Face Inference Providers, models.dev, local nodes). All filters are optional and combine with AND. Returns { offerings, total, counts }: each offering has node_id, offering_id, model, pricing (USD per MTok), trust tier, serving capabilities, measured probe results, and a rank explanation. Use get_offering for one offering's full card, recommend to let the advisor choose.

NameTypeReqDescription
exclude_lineagestring–Comma-separated ISO country codes; drops offerings whose declared model lineage includes any of them, e.g. "CN". Offerings that declare no lineage are kept.
familystring–Model family or exact artifact, e.g. "llama-3.3" or "qwen3". Matches model.family or model.artifact exactly.
jurisdictionstring–Only operators that declare a country inside it: "eea" (EU + Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway) or comma-separated ISO country codes, e.g. "DE,FI". Registered nodes declare their country; imported listi…
langstring–Language with minimum grade, "<iso-code>[:basic|strong|native]", e.g. "pl:strong" or "de".
limitinteger–Maximum offerings to return; `total` still counts every match.
localboolean–true: only models that run on the user's own machine (the Ollama library: no server, free, ranked by Ollama pulls, with local.sizes_memory per size). false: only hosted offerings. Omit for both (host…
location_basisstring–Minimum evidence for the serving locations: claimed < documented (the provider's own dated page) < measured (registry probes) < attested. Offerings without known locations are excluded.
max_input_pricenumber–Maximum input price in USD per million tokens.
memory_gbnumber–RAM/VRAM the user can give a local model, in GB: keeps local models with a size that fits (4-bit estimate). Hosted offerings are unaffected.
min_contextinteger–Minimum context window in tokens, e.g. 32768.
modalitystring–What the model consumes/produces. Use "text" for chat and completion models.
qstring–Free-text match against the model metadata, offering id, and node id, e.g. "bielik" or "coder".
regionstring–Data residency: every pinned region and every live serving site must lie inside this ISO 3166 code, e.g. "CA" (also matches "CA-QC") or "EU" (also matches member states such as "DE"; "EEA" adds IS, L…
schemestring–Payment scheme the offering must accept. "free" finds no-cost offerings.
sortstring–rank = registry ranking (price, trust, reliability); price = cheapest input first; ttft = fastest first token; tps = highest throughput.
supportsstring–Comma-separated features the offering must all support: tool_calls, json_mode, vision, streaming. Example: "tool_calls,json_mode".
tierstring–Minimum trust tier. unverified < community (passed automated checks) < verified (identity and context verified) < attested.
