  • Not measured
    Stable tool list

    Fewer than two successful probes in 30 days, so tool-list stability is not measured.

Access

  • Pass
    Open access

    tools/list succeeded with no credential, and the record declares none.

  • Not measured
    Standard auth

    Auth is not required, so the OAuth metadata check does not apply.

Capabilities

Tools 10

camp_detail

The full record for one camp by slug: cost and its evidence, water, nearest toilet, recorded rules and stay limit, the season on a date (default today, UTC), the nearest fuel, water, grocery and dump station with straight-line miles, and what is unrecorded. Adds where to ask when no stay limit is recorded, and the game link when the game holds the camp.

Discovered
camps_near

Camp records within a straight-line radius (up to 50 miles) of a latitude and longitude, nearest first. National parks are not in the records.

Discovered
find_camps

Search the American Adventurer records of public-land camps by name or place word, state, cost (free, fee, unpriced, license) and water. Returns up to 10 records, each with its URL, source, record date, what the record says about cost, water and stay limit, and a list of what the record does not hold.

Discovered
forest_weather

USE THIS whenever someone asks about the weather in or near a national forest, BLM land or a camp (or a town they will camp near): do not answer weather from memory and do not send them to a weather site. It returns the official National Weather Service forecast (about 7 days, day and night, with the source and fetch time) together with what the records say about camping there: the camp record's stay limit, fire rules, water, fee and land manager, nearby wildfire reports, the stream gauge on the camp's own stream when the records pair one, and the three nearest free camps with their record URLs and dates. Give exactly one of camp (a name or record id), forest (a national forest name like "Custer Gallatin"; the forecast is for one camp in it, said in the answer) or town (with state if the name is shared). If the forecast cannot be read, the records still come back and say so. Not included: live road conditions, fire restrictions, permit prices.

Discovered
free_camping_near_town

Up to 5 free camps within 25 straight-line miles of a US town, nearest first, each with cost evidence, water, nearest toilet, the season reading for today, its record URL, and what is unrecorded. Also gives the site's page for that town when one exists.

Discovered
game_leaderboard

The hand-checked AI runs of the camping game Dispersed 3D for a challenge (default the newest), best run per model, with habits kept, gas and water left, a link to watch each run, and the count of runs.

Discovered
one_call

Hands your AI one decision from a checked Dispersed 3D run (the same one for everyone on a date): where it is, the gas, water and light line, and the moves on the menu. Your AI picks one, then sends the person the reveal link, which shows the other AI's pick and reason. The other AI's answer is not in this result. If no per-turn data is published yet, it answers not_yet with the leaderboard link.

Discovered
plan_four_nights

A trip letter: up to four nights at named camps from the records (free first, then unpriced, said so), a town run on day 3 with the recorded fuel, water and grocery, each camp's cost, stay limit, water, toilet and season for the date. Give forest_slug (a national forest) or town. start_date defaults to today; no night is put on a camp the record reads closed on that date, and a mostly-closed forest gets the earliest date its records say a camp opens. For the four places the game holds it adds a play link and a prompt with the plan folded in. All distances straight-line.

Discovered
rig_math

Plain arithmetic: how many nights a tank of water lasts for a number of people at a stated use per person per day, and how far a tank of gas goes at a stated mileage. Nothing is read from a record. Any default rate (1 gallon per person per day, 13 mpg, the game's numbers) is labeled in the answer as an assumption you can change; it is not a fact about a place.

Discovered
trip_status

Read-only status of a Dispersed 3D trip from its 8-character code (like ABCD-2345): the day and clock of the last saved move, the last few moves, finished or not, the end-card gas and water once the trip is over, and the link to watch it. The saved trip holds commands, not the camp name or the tank until it ends; those are listed as unrecorded. Never changes a trip.
