No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/fmcsa_operating_authority for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

Get a carrier’s FMCSA operating authority by USDOT number: the MC docket number and the status of its common-carrier, contract-carrier, and broker authority (Active / Inactive / Pending / Revoked). Keyless. Answers “is this carrier authorized to operate / broker freight” — the legal authority to haul, complementing the census (fmcsa_carrier_lookup) and safety (fmcsa_safety_snapshot).
