MCP tools · 8 exposed · ~651 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
area_codes_for_city ~82

List the area codes that serve a US or Canadian city. Optionally pass a state/province to disambiguate cities that share a name.

NameTypeReqDescription
citystringyesCity name, e.g. "Las Vegas".
statestringOptional state/province name or 2-letter code to disambiguate, e.g. "NV".

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

area_codes_for_state ~49

List every area code in a US state or Canadian province.

NameTypeReqDescription
statestringyesState/province name or 2-letter code, e.g. "Nevada" or "ON".

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

check_number_reputation ~97

Return the UNVERIFIED, crowd-sourced community signal for a US/Canada number from areacode.fyi: 'low' (people have looked it up), 'mid'/'high' (it has user reports). Caller ID can be spoofed — this is never proof a specific number is fraudulent.

NameTypeReqDescription
numberstringyesA US/Canada phone number, e.g. "702-555-0199".

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

explain_area_code_topic ~37

Source-backed explanation of a phone-numbering topic, suitable for answering end users.

NameTypeReqDescription
topicstringyesThe topic to explain.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

is_scam_area_code ~80

Explain whether an area code is associated with scams. An area code is never a scam by itself; this returns that context plus spoofing notes — caller ID can be faked, so judge calls by what they ask for, not the area code.

NameTypeReqDescription
codestringyesA 3-digit area code, e.g. "702".

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

lookup_area_code ~91

Look up a North American (NANP) area code: country, state/province, principal city and served cities, time zone, current local time, 10-digit-dialing flag, overlay codes, and nearby codes. Returns a canonical areacode.fyi URL and the NANPA source date.

NameTypeReqDescription
codestringyesA 3-digit area code, e.g. "702".

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

lookup_carrier ~109

Look up the carrier, line type (wireless/landline), and rate center that a US/Canada number's NPA-NXX block was assigned to — covering nearly every active area code. Based on public block-allocation data, NOT a live lookup: if the number was ported the current carrier differs. Not for caller identity, fraud, or FCRA decisions.

NameTypeReqDescription
numberstringyesA US/Canada phone number, e.g. "212-555-0143".

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

lookup_phone_number ~106

Parse and validate a US/Canada (NANP) phone number. Returns whether the format is valid, the E.164 form, the area code, the likely region and time zone, and the current local time there. Area-code level only — NOT the caller's identity, exact location, or live carrier; caller ID can be spoofed.

NameTypeReqDescription
numberstringyesA phone number in any format, e.g. "+1 702-555-0199".

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.
