Australian data for equipment trade AI agents.

Q: Can an equipment agent check serial-number PPSR data?

Not currently through Hoist. Serial-number validation and preview mechanics are implemented but not customer-accessible; paid PPSR searches and pricing are also unavailable.

Q: Can I run a chassis number that is not in the standard format?

Not currently through Hoist. Sample material can illustrate normalised serial-number contract shapes, but current preview requests fail closed.

Your agent should not guess encumbrance status. PPSR serial-number validation, preview, and explicit-confirmation mechanics are implemented but not currently customer-accessible through API, CLI, or MCP. Preview requests fail closed without a price or register dispatch; paid PPSR searches and pricing are not currently available through Hoist.

Questions your agent can ask

Agent prompt examples

"Can Hoist check this VIN on PPSR?" (Not currently; use AFSA direct.)
"Who holds the registration on this chassis number?"
"Is this aircraft serial clear to trade?"
"What is the encumbrance status of this asset?"
"Is this boat hull number encumbered?"

What Hoist returns

Available ABN/GST checks return source-cited fields and review context. The separate sample Evidence Pack export is prelaunch; VIN and PPSR rows are fixture or unsearched and do not report secured-party identity or clearance.

What works now

Before

A person checks each VIN or chassis number separately and copies the result into the asset record.

PPSR contract

Serial-number validation and preview mechanics are implemented but not currently customer-accessible through API, CLI, or MCP. Requests fail closed without a price or register dispatch.

Agent runs Hoist can support

Serial-number check

VIN, chassis, hull, and equipment identifiers

The ppsr_search schema includes a preview mode, but current calls fail closed without a price or register dispatch. Live source status and secured-party data are not currently available through Hoist.

Future batch contract

Serial-number batch checking is unavailable

Account access does not unlock serial-number or PPSR checks. Hoist does not currently dispatch a list of serial numbers or return source-backed Evidence Packs per asset; use AFSA direct today and treat the Hoist schema as future contract documentation.

Access surfaces

MCP via mcp.assets.hoistai.com/mcp for agent hosts that support MCP.
REST API at api.assets.hoistai.com/v1/ for apps, backends, and custom agents.
CLI (build from source; npm publish coming soon) for local scripts and manual checks.
Paid PPSR searches and pricing are not currently available through Hoist. Account access and confirmation do not make them available.

Pricing

Currently available workflows are free and require no billing setup. Any future paid source would need a separately proved price and confirmation path; paid PPSR is unavailable. See /pricing for the current posture.

FAQ

01Can an equipment agent check serial-number PPSR data?

PPSR serial-number validation and preview mechanics are not currently customer-accessible. Paid PPSR searches and pricing are not currently available through Hoist.

02Can I run a chassis number that is not in the standard format?

The sample Evidence Pack can normalise a supplied serial-number value for illustration, but it does not run a source search or report a match. Its VIN and PPSR rows remain fixture or unsearched.

Other use cases

The sandbox shows the separate prelaunch Evidence Pack sample shape; it is not live PPSR clearance or source evidence. Paid PPSR searches and pricing are not currently available through Hoist.
