Tools (5)

show-hormuz-situation

PRIMARY TOOL. Render the full Strait of Hormuz tactical dashboard on an interactive map: IMF disruption polygon, all 65 Gulf ports (UAE, Iran, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia) with their latest daily traffic, live AIS vessel positions, active disruption alerts, and a 30-day transit trend. Use for any Hormuz-situation question.

show-port-live-map

Render a focused LIVE AIS map zoomed on a single Gulf port, with a radius circle and every vessel currently inside it. Use when the user asks to see ships near or at a specific port (e.g. 'show me Fujairah right now', 'what's at Jebel Ali'). For portId, use values like 'port362' (Fujairah), 'port744' (Jebel Ali), 'port306' (Dubai), 'port561' (Khor Fakkan), 'port747' (Mina Saqr) — or let the user tell you and look it up from show-hormuz-situation's port list.

get-hormuz-disruptions

List active and recent trade-disruption events affecting the Strait of Hormuz (IMF PortWatch alerts). Returns alert level, name, description, date range, and affected area. Use when the user asks whether there's an event or emergency in Hormuz.

get-port-traffic

Get daily ship-call HISTORY for a specific Gulf port as JSON (not live — 5–7 day lag). Returns last N days with vessel-type breakdown. Use for trend analysis. For live positions, use show-port-live-map instead.

compare-chokepoints

Rank all 28 global shipping chokepoints (Suez, Panama, Malacca, Gibraltar, Dover, Bab el-Mandeb, Hormuz, etc.) by latest daily transit count or by a specific vessel type. Use for 'where does Hormuz rank?' or 'busiest chokepoint right now'.
