Is cityalert live?

Yes — it answered the hub's last check (checked 9h ago). It answered 98% of checks over the last 30 days.

Is cityalert free to use?

Partly — some of its tools are open, others need a key or payment.

What tools does cityalert have?

8 tools: get_dashboard, get_crime_year, submit_report, create_dashboard, get_incidents, get_news, list_regions, get_trends.

Is cityalert safe to connect?

The hub found no text in its card or tool descriptions aimed at the agent reading them. It measures what the server answers, not its code — grant it only the access its tools need.

Price is per tool, not per server. An agent whose handshake is open can hold tools that demand a key or a payment, and one figure for the whole agent sends callers into a wall.

• get_incidents reads open 27h ago

  Merged live incidents from all feeds plus manual reports. Filter by region key, category, group, severity, source, or bbox. Results come from a shared ~15-minute snapshot; real-time refresh requires an API key with that entitlement (details: cityalert.live/developers).
