What your agent can do with a key

records-question-trace

Your AI can verify our answers against the primary records. It receives the records cited, the full set read, and the passage each claim came from, so it can check the working rather than accept it. This is the command the rest of the set depends on.

How it works

A question you could put to your AI

What specific measures, funding allocations and legislative instruments underpin Australia’s current fuel security strategy?

What the connector returns

Stockpile-building. As of 25 July the Minister for Climate Change and Energy reported 42 days of petrol, 38 days of diesel and 32 days of jet fuel — 6.2 billion litres in total, up 15% since late February¹. The stated target is 50 days of jet fuel and diesel. A further 3.1 billion litres is locked in for delivery within four weeks, carried by 51 vessels in transit².

Fiscal instruments. The 2026–27 Budget cut the fuel excise by 60.9% from 1 April to 30 June 2026 — 32 cents per litre off petrol and diesel, with the Heavy Vehicle Road User Charge reduced to zero over the same period³.

What is unresolved. Second-tranche funding for low-carbon fuel production depends on co-funding being secured, and the 28 July refinery announcement is not yet in the records we hold — so its scope cannot be assessed from the record.

Usage

Limits are here to manage fair access and the real costs of servers and tokens. Searching is always free. Pulling records and asking questions draw from your allowance — you start with 500 pulls and 1,000 credits; regular subscriptions apply after that.

Good to know

Where does my information go?

Your registration details stay in Australia. Payments are handled by Stripe.

Is it encrypted?

Everything in transit is encrypted with TLS, and your account data is encrypted at rest.

Is my work mine?

Yes. If you cancel, your work is destroyed. We ask you to confirm first, as it cannot be reversed. Billing records are retained only as long as the law requires.

Can I use my own model?

Yes. records-fetch sends the record’s full body text into your account as a file for your own agent to read and reason over. That draws on your provider’s allowance rather than credits here. If you would rather we did the work, records-questions puts our open-weight models on it, which keeps larger jobs affordable. Either way, records-question-trace shows how the answer was reached.

What happens if I use the answer command?

If you use the answer command, we’ll analyse the records for you using our AskTribune (Beta) analytics tool — designed to be impartial and faithful to the record while still being fast and accessible. It’s very cost-effective for complex queries because it uses open-weight models hosted in the US — which means your query and the records associated with it are processed offshore. Your user details always stay with Tribune.
