Check whether a known train or segment is historically reliable.
Check whether a train is delayed, where it is, and whether the platform changed.
Estimate whether a connection is likely to work based on historical data.
Example prompt
"How reliable is ICE 726 from Berlin Hbf to Fulda, and is it currently delayed?"
Available tools

Get live status for a train including delay, platform, current position, and stop sequence.
get_train_reliability
Show historical reliability for a segment with on-time rate, average delay, cancellations, and score.
get_connection_risk
Estimate the probability of making a connection at a station based on historical outcomes.
