Vertical AI · Overhead Line Compliance API
A cited answer, not a plausible one.
Real, typed compliance and engineering-compute functions for overhead electric distribution — grade-of-construction, clearance, sag/tension, insulator uplift, guying, grounding, all grounded in NESC, GO-95, and CSA C22.3, not a language model guessing at a code minimum.
# vertical-ai-sdk -- shared with API customers on request
from vertical_ai_sdk import Client
client = Client(api_key="vaico_live_...")
result = client.overhead.nesc.grade(...)
# -> GradeResult(grade="B", rule_refs=["NESC Rule 242"], ...)What's live today
18 engineering domains behind one API — 308 routes, each returning a typed result with its source. Overhead line compliance is the deepest.
Overhead Line
LiveDistribution & transmission line compliance -- grade-of-construction, clearance (including cross-line and span-to-span), conductor sag/tension, insulator uplift, guying, pole setting-depth, grounding, vegetation.
Every domain above is live in the API. Early Access means the checks are still draft — not yet independently validated.
See every domain →Python SDK
Your own standards, layered on top — without your data ever leaving your infrastructure.
Generic physics and cited regulatory minimums stay server-side, behind the API. A utility's own proprietary thresholds, framing catalogs, and margin policies run entirely client-side through StandardsPack — your own subclass, your own data, never transmitted anywhere.
class AcmeUtilityStandards(OverheadStandardsPack):
def classify_clearance(self, code_result):
# our own +2ft margin over NESC's minimum
return code_result.required + 2.0Harnesses
A working starting point, not just raw API calls.
MCP toolset
Every function in a domain, exposed as a tool over the open MCP protocol — point Claude, Claude Code, or your own agent at it directly.
Build it yourself
Connect any MCP client, customize with the SDK — no separate onboarding.
