skimguard_get_location_statusread-onlyLook up SkimGuard card-skimmer scan status for a location by its Google Place ID. Returns how recently the location was scanned, how many scans it has, and whether any suspicious Bluetooth devices were detected. Use this to answer "is this gas station / ATM / store safe to use my card at?". Returns "not publicly tracked" for locations with no public scan data (including private residences, which a
skimguard_find_nearby_activityread-onlyFind locations near a latitude/longitude that SkimGuard users have scanned recently, with suspicious-detection counts. Use for "any skimmers reported near me?". Only publicly visible locations are returned; private residences are excluded.
skimguard_lookup_bluetooth_manufacturerread-onlyResolve a Bluetooth SIG company identifier to a manufacturer name and SkimGuard risk rating. Accepts decimal (76) or hex (0x004C). Useful for explaining what a device seen in a scan actually is.
skimguard_search_locationsread-onlyFind a location by NAME or address (e.g. "Shell on Riverside, Austin TX", "Chase ATM near Union Square") and get its SkimGuard card-skimmer scan status. Use this when you know what a place is called but do not have its Google Place ID — it resolves the name first, then reports scan status for each match. Pass latitude/longitude when you know roughly where the user is; it sharply improves matching

For accurate results pass real route geometry from a directions provider; passi
