The level of service we hold ourselves to
Regulation (EU) 2023/138 requires States to publish certain datasets — called high-value — free of charge, in machine-readable form, with an API and bulk download. We apply this level of service to this register, whether the law requires it or not.
- Free of charge — every page and every machine file on this site is open, with no account and no key.
- Machine-readable — manifest, field schema, real sample.
- With an API — 6 callable tools, described with their input schema, wired into the page for an agent, and the portfolio's MCP server.
- Bulk download — ⚠️ not served free here: the raw data can be downloaded free from the source, named in the footer; our normalised version is described on the data page.
⚠️ This register is not designated “high-value” in law: it is a level of service we set ourselves, not a regulatory guarantee. Details for agents · catalogue.

An example that works, end to end
The example starts from the get_sample tool, which reads the served sample.
Prompt to give an agent
Use the get_sample tool of msha-mine-records.pages.dev and summarise the first three entries.What the tool returns
| id | 0100003 |
|---|---|
| url | https://msha-mine-records.pages.dev/search/#r=0100003 |
| fragment | https://msha-mine-records.pages.dev/d/r/6d2.json |
| name | O'Neal Quarry & Mill |
| city | Shelby County |
| state | AL |
| type | Stone |
| fields | {'MSHA mine ID': '0100003', 'Status': 'Active — since Jan 22, 1979', 'Mine type': 'Surface', 'Primary commodity': 'Lime', 'Secondary commodity': 'Crushed, Broken Limestone NEC', 'Operator': 'Martin Marietta Materials, Inc.'} |
The same register can be queried through the portfolio MCP server (tools describe_register, get_schema, get_sample).
Reading one record by its identifier
The lookup_record tool takes the MSHA mine ID (7 digits, e.g. 0100003). For 0100003 it reads https://msha-mine-records.pages.dev/d/r/6d2.json (hash of the identifier: h = 0, then for each character h = (h*31 + character code) modulo 4096; in hexadecimal on 3 digits) and returns the record shown at https://msha-mine-records.pages.dev/search/#r=0100003.
