WHAT IT DOES

What echo.compliance.facility_search does on Apibase

AI agents call echo.compliance.facility_search to retrieve information from Apibase without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`limit`	integer	—	Maximum number of facilities to return (1–50). Default 10.
`state`	string	—	Two-letter US state code to narrow results (e.g. "CA", "TX"). Required when using facility_name without zip_code.
`zip_code`	string	—	US ZIP code to search within (e.g. "94601"). Recommended for precise results. Provide either zip_code or facility_name.
`active_only`	boolean	—	Return only currently active regulated facilities. Default true.
`facility_name`	string	—	Partial or full facility name to search for (e.g. "Chevron"). Use with state for best results.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
