• test_order · Whether the caller's next order can be placed this month, and how large, checked month by month against their own cash, budget and stock limits. `profile` is `{"business": {...}, "navigator": {...}}`. Needs `navigator.monthly_demand_units`,
• margin_cushion · How much of a gross margin survives the cost move TDE has MEASURED for the goods. A v1 heuristic. Pass either `profile` (`{"business": {...}}`, with `margin_pct` and the goods' code or category) or `margin_pct` (percent) and `hs6` (six-digi
• landed_cost · CIF value, duty and import VAT, in GBP. Send the goods value as `goods_gbp`, or as `goods` with `currency`; amounts in another currency are converted at the Bank of England rate TDE holds, stated under `fx_rate` with its date. Give `duty_ra
• lane_state · A trade lane's current state (how freely ships are passing the chokepoints on its route) and the date the data covers. `corridor_id` names the lane (for example `uk_india`; `capabilities` lists them); default is the deployment's live lane.
• plan_ledger · Every pound the `test_order` plan moves, month by month. Takes the same `profile`, `regime_state` and `corridor_id` as `test_order` and builds the same plan without re-solving it, so cash lines and cost lines agree with that plan. `months`
• plan_products · A joint plan for up to 30 products sharing one cash floor, monthly budget, credit facility and supplier capacity. `profile["navigator"]["products"]` is the list of product rows (each with `id`, `label`, `monthly_demand_units`, `monthly_spen
• risk_register · What could go wrong on the caller's own figures, priced by stage: Source, Terms, Order, Pay, Ship, Clear, Cash. Takes the same inputs as `test_order` and prices against the same plan. Each row has an `exposure` (the cost if it happens), `co
• cost_scenario · What the goods could cost over the coming months: a `low`/`mid`/`high` band ESTIMATED from what this lane's past disruption episodes did to goods prices. A band from measured history, not a forecast. Freight is held at the caller's own figu
• cash_runway · How long the caller's cash lasts if costs move as the lane's price scenario says. Needs cash on hand, revenue, margin and fixed costs in `profile.business`; each one absent is named in `missing` (`projected: false`). Returns `runway_months_
• duty_at_stake · Duty on a year of the caller's goods at their stated rate, and what a preference claim under the UK-India trade agreement could be worth. COMPUTED from `profile` alone (spend, duty rate, preference status), with no network call. Whether goo
• quote_check · Where a supplier's quote sits in the MEASURED customs-value band (HMRC unit values, last twelve months) for one six-digit code and origin. `hs6` and `origin` (country) are required. `quote` is GBP per unit; `unit_mass_kg` converts it to GBP
• compare_lanes · One of the caller's saved products on the deployment's live lane and on a second lane, against one cash position. `second_origin` names the second lane's origin; `product_id` picks the product (default: the first in `navigator.products`). `

What "online" means: the server answered an MCP connection at the time of the check. It is not a guarantee of security, quality or continuous uptime. How we test: we open an MCP session and ask for the tool list, as an AI assistant would. We never run a tool and never send a key. Checked every few days. Method
