Australian data for integrators building AI agents.
Connect your agent to Australian source data without building the register plumbing yourself. Hoist checks enabled sources and returns a source-cited Evidence Card with timestamps, risk flags, and review notes through API, CLI, or MCP. Evidence Pack exports are separate prelaunch samples with fixture or unsearched rows.
What your agent can ask Hoist
- "Can this vehicle and ABN be checked together?"
- "Is this invoice counterparty registered, and what evidence still needs an external PPSR check?" (Hoist cannot currently answer the PPSR part; use AFSA direct.)
- "Can Hoist check this asset on PPSR?" (Not currently; use AFSA direct.)
- "Can Hoist show what changed since we last checked this counterparty?" (Not currently for entities or assets.)
- "Is this business entity GST-registered at the stated ABN?"
Available checks return source-cited fields and review context. The separate sample Evidence Pack export is prelaunch; its ABR, GST, VIN, and PPSR rows are fixture or unsearched, not source results.
Three access surfaces
| Surface | When to use | Status |
|---|---|---|
REST APIapi.assets.hoistai.com/v1/ | Apps, backends, custom agents, and automation tools. | Account access |
CLIbuild from source (npm soon) | Shell scripts, local checks, and repeatable terminal checks. | Account access |
MCPmcp.assets.hoistai.com/mcp | Agent hosts that support MCP. Available non-PPSR source checks require account access; PPSR preview and paid search are not currently customer-accessible. | PPSR unavailable |
Hoist sets up API, CLI, and MCP access directly. Source checks depend on account setup and source availability. Currently available workflows are free and require no billing setup.
What works now
Build register connections, access limits, audit logs, and price confirmation yourself.
With account access, connect Hoist through API, CLI, or MCP. Access limits and the Evidence Card schema are built in. Your agent asks the question. Hoist returns the source-cited answer.
Agent runs Hoist can support
One config snippet, source-cited answers
With account access, connect through API, CLI, or MCP for available non-PPSR source checks. PPSR preview and explicit-confirmation mechanics are implemented but not currently customer-accessible; preview requests fail closed.
Counterparty risk agent
With account access, build an agent around available ABN workflows. The ppsr_search schema documents preview and search contracts, but both currently fail closed without a price or register dispatch.
Source access stays explicit
With account access, use the API for applications that need available source checks. Your platform can forward the returned source-cited fields and review context. Currently available workflows are free and require no billing setup.
Current surface
- REST API:
api.assets.hoistai.com/v1/with account access. - CLI: build from source (npm publish coming soon) with account access.
- MCP endpoint:
mcp.assets.hoistai.com/mcpwith account access. - Paid PPSR searches and pricing are not currently available through Hoist; account access and confirmation do not make them available.
- Sample Evidence Pack responses are available from the public sandbox page.
Supported hosts
Hoist is designed for MCP-compatible hosts, custom agents, backend services, and terminal checks. Custom agents connect via API, CLI, or MCP when supported by their runtime.
* Your AI tool of choice: Hoist is model-agnostic. It works through MCP, API, and CLI. Host availability depends on the AI tool or agent runtime. See the Connector docs for the current host guide list.
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 we connect through API, CLI, or MCP?
Yes. Hoist exposes a REST API for apps and backends, a CLI for terminal checks, and an MCP endpoint for agent hosts that support MCP. Supported non-PPSR source checks require account access; Hoist PPSR calls remain unavailable.
02What does an Evidence Pack contain?
The current Evidence Pack export is a prelaunch sample. Every ABR, GST, VIN, and PPSR row is fixture or unsearched, not a source result, verification, certificate, or clearance.
Other use cases
Preview the response shape.
The sandbox shows the separate prelaunch Evidence Pack sample shape. API, CLI, and MCP checks return their own verification responses; access is set up by account, and currently available workflows require no billing setup. Ask for API access if you want Hoist in your agent run.
