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 →
us_auction_events ~306
Upcoming US auction EVENTS — the sales themselves rather than individual lots ("Synthetic Fuels Company plant liquidation, 271 lots, Aug 28, Fremont CA"). Use this to answer "what auctions are happening near me next week" or "what is this auction house selling". Filter by state, keyword (sale title), auction_house, and a closing date range. Returns each sale with its house, location, lot count, local sale date and a link. Sale dates are the auctioneer's LOCAL calendar date — upstream publishes them without a timezone, so a precise instant is not available at the sale level; individual lot close times (us_auctions_closing_soon) are exact.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| auction_house | string | – | Selling auctioneer, substring match, e.g. "Silicon Valley Disposition". |
| closes_after | string | – | Only sales closing on or after this date (YYYY-MM-DD). Defaults to today. |
| closes_before | string | – | Only sales closing on or before this date (YYYY-MM-DD). |
| keyword | string | – | Free-text matched against the sale title, e.g. "liquidation", "estate", "machine shop". |
| limit | number|string | – | Max sales (1-100, default 25). |
| min_lots | number|string | – | Only sales with at least this many lots — useful for filtering out one-off listings. |
| state | string | – | 2-letter state code where the sale is held. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
us_auction_houses ~141
Which US auction houses Pipeworx covers, and how much they currently have live — name, home state, number of open sales and total lots across them. Use to find the auctioneers active in a state or in a niche ("who runs industrial liquidations in California"), then pass the name to us_auction_events or us_auctions_search. Ranked by live lot count.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| keyword | string | – | Free-text matched against the house name or its sale titles. |
| limit | number|string | – | Max houses (1-100, default 25). |
| state | string | – | 2-letter state code of the sale location. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
us_auctions_closing_soon ~227
US auction lots ordered by soonest close time — the "what can I still bid on before it ends" view across commercial and government sources alike. Optionally filter by state, asset_type, segment, auction_house or keyword. Returns lots with hours remaining, current bid, location and link.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| asset_type | string | – | One of: vehicle | equipment | realestate | electronics | other. |
| auction_house | string | – | Selling auctioneer, substring match. |
| keyword | string | – | Free-text search over lot title and description. |
| limit | number|string | – | Max lots (1-100, default 25). |
| near_zip | string | – | US 5-digit ZIP to search around, e.g. "94402". |
| radius_miles | number|string | – | Radius around near_zip in miles (1-500, default 50). |
| segment | string | – | government | commercial. Omit for both. |
| source | string | – | Restrict to one source. |
| state | string | – | 2-letter state code. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
us_auctions_coverage ~50
Current US auction coverage: per-source active lot counts, open sale counts, retained sold comps, and when each source last refreshed. Use to gauge breadth and freshness before relying on the data.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
us_auctions_search ~573
Search live US auction lots across every source Pipeworx indexes — commercial auction houses (HiBid: ~1,900 US auctioneers, industrial liquidations, estate and equipment sales) and government surplus/seized/tax-deed sales (GovDeals, AllSurplus, PublicSurplus, Bid4Assets, IRS). Filter by free-text keyword (matched on the lot title, e.g. "forklift", "excavator", "F-150"), 2-letter state, asset_type (vehicle|equipment|realestate|electronics|other), segment (commercial|government), auction_house, max_price and closing_within_hours — or search geographically with near_zip + radius_miles ("forklifts within 50 miles of 94402"), which returns lots ordered by distance. Keyword search is full-text over the lot title AND description, so "cnc lathe" finds a lot titled "Haas TL-1" whose description says CNC lathe. Returns each lot with source, title, selling house, location, current bid, close time and a link. For what things actually SOLD for, use us_auctions_sold_comps instead.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| asset_type | string | – | One of: vehicle | equipment | realestate | electronics | other. |
| auction_house | string | – | Selling auctioneer, matched as a substring, e.g. "Silicon Valley Disposition". |
| closing_within_hours | number|string | – | Only lots closing within this many hours from now. |
| keyword | string | – | Free-text matched (case-insensitive) against the lot title, e.g. "forklift", "skid steer", "mac pro". |
| limit | number|string | – | Max lots (1-100, default 25). |
| max_price | number|string | – | Only lots whose current bid is at or below this. Note that a lot with no bids yet has no current bid and is excluded. |
| near_zip | string | – | US 5-digit ZIP to search around, e.g. "94402". Combine with radius_miles for "what is up for auction near me". Results come back ordered by distance and carry distance_miles. |
| radius_miles | number|string | – | Radius around near_zip, in miles (1-500, default 50). Ignored unless near_zip is given. |
| segment | string | – | Restrict to one half of the market: government | commercial. Omit for both. |
| source | string | – | Restrict to one source: hibid | govdeals | allsurplus | publicsurplus | bid4assets | irs | txauction. |
| state | string | – | 2-letter state code of the item location, e.g. "CA", "TX". |

No examples provided.
us_auctions_sold_comps ~239
Historical SOLD prices for US auction items — the final hammer price of closed lots, which no upstream site keeps but Pipeworx retains across both the commercial and government halves of the market. Use to answer "what do used forklifts actually fetch at auction" or to comp an asset before bidding. Filter by keyword (title match), asset_type, state and segment. Returns count, min/median/average/max final price, and recent examples. Only lots that closed with a recorded sale price above zero are counted — a closed lot that drew no bids is not a comp.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| asset_type | string | – | One of: vehicle | equipment | realestate | electronics | other. |
| keyword | string | – | Free-text title match, e.g. "forklift", "f-150", "cnc lathe". |
| limit | number|string | – | Max example lots to return (1-50, default 10). |
| segment | string | – | government | commercial. Commercial and government prices differ materially for the same asset — split them when it matters. |
| state | string | – | 2-letter state code. |
