Questions your agent can ask
- "Is this VIN registered on the PPSR?"
- "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?"
An Evidence Pack containing: result, source checks, timestamps, secured-party identity where a registration exists, risk flags, and review items. The Evidence Pack is the full agent-facing result.
A day, before and after account access
A person checks each VIN or chassis number separately and copies the result into the asset record.
With account access, your agent calls Hoist through API, CLI, or MCP. The Evidence Pack returns source-backed fields, review notes, and evidence references in one response.
Agent runs Hoist can support
VIN, chassis, hull, and equipment identifiers
With account access, your agent calls ppsr_search_serial_number with the supplied identifier. The Evidence Pack returns source-backed status, secured-party data where present, and review items.
Run the same source-data shape across a list
With account access, your agent can check a list of serial numbers and receive an Evidence Pack per asset plus a summary of fields that need review.

FAQ
01Can an equipment agent check serial-number PPSR data?
Yes. With account access, the agent can call Hoist through API, CLI, or MCP and receive an Evidence Pack with PPSR serial-number results, timestamps, secured-party data, and review notes.
02Can I run a chassis number that is not in the standard format?
Hoist normalises common serial-number variants. If the source search cannot match the supplied identifier, the Evidence Pack returns a review item instead of guessing.
