{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}ais_vessels_near — Live vessel positions near a point: which ships are in the water around a location right now, from AIS vessel tracking. Returns per ship the MMSI, vessel name, ship type (cargo, tanker, passenger ferry, fishing, tug, sailing, pleasure craft, military), speed in knots, course, navigational status (under way, at anchor, moored, fishing), lat/lon, distance from the centre, and how fresh the report is. Use for "what ships are near Helsinki", "vessel traffic outside Turku", "is anything anchored off this port", "boats in the Gulf of Finland". COVERAGE IS REGIONAL: Fintraffic AIS receivers cover Finland and the surrounding Baltic Sea (Gulf of Finland, Gulf of Bothnia, Archipelago Sea, Åland, fringe reception toward Estonia and Sweden). Points elsewhere in the world return nothing. Example: latitude 60.15, longitude 24.95, radius_km 50 for Helsinki; add vessel_type "tanker" to see only tankers.ais_area_count — Count how many ships are in an area right now, broken down by ship-type category and by whether they are moving or stationary. Answers "how many vessels are in this area", "how many tankers are in the Gulf of Finland", "ship traffic count in a bounding box", "how many vessels are anchored off Helsinki". Give EITHER a circle (latitude, longitude, radius_km) OR a bounding box (min_lat, max_lat, min_lon, max_lon). Returns total, by_category counts (cargo, tanker, passenger, fishing, other), moving versus stationary using a 0.5-knot threshold, and the data timestamp. COVERAGE IS REGIONAL: Fintraffic AIS receivers over Finland and the surrounding Baltic Sea; an area elsewhere in the world counts zero. Example: min_lat 59.3, max_lat 60.5, min_lon 22.0, max_lon 28.0 for the Gulf of Finland; or latitude 60.15, longitude 24.95, radius_km 50 for Helsinki.ais_vessel — Look up one specific ship by its MMSI number and get its registered details plus its latest AIS position. Returns name, call sign, IMO number, ship type, length and beam, draught, reported destination and ETA, then the live position: lat/lon, speed in knots, course, heading, navigational status, and when the report was received. Use for "where is MMSI 230052800", "track this vessel", "what ship is this MMSI". COVERAGE IS REGIONAL: the ship must have been heard by a Fintraffic receiver in Finland or the surrounding Baltic Sea. Get an MMSI from ais_vessels_near first. Example: mmsi 230052800.Code samples (curl / TypeScript / one-click client install), schemas, and the live playground are on the pack page:
