# Crime Benchmark — FBI UCR/NIBRS Baseline Rates

> Crime Benchmark — FBI UCR/NIBRS Baseline Rates is a paid API for AI agents from payai.agentstools.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.008/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Returns annualized crime rates per 100,000 people by year from FBI UCR and NIBRS data, for a given offense type and optional US state, to serve as a national or state-level baseline.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability crime-benchmark-fbi-ucr-nibrs-baseline-rates-c124982b
```

Example prompt: What's the FBI baseline violent crime rate per 100,000 people for Texas over the last 5 years? I want to anchor a local score against it.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a deterministic, authoritative FBI-sourced crime rate baseline — either national or state-level — to contextualize or anchor a local crime score. It is ideal when you need reproducible year-by-year figures per 100,000 people without AI interpretation. Prefer this over general web searches or AI-generated estimates when accuracy, reproducibility, and official sourcing matter.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported offense type enum value returns an error
- State code not recognized or malformed returns a validation error
- Years parameter outside 1–10 range returns a schema validation error
- Data unavailable for very recent years if FBI has not yet published them
- Network or payment authentication failure (402) if USDC payment is not properly included

## How this service works

National or state baseline crime rates for an offense and window from public FBI UCR and NIBRS data. Give an offense and an optional 2-letter state and get the annualized rate per 100,000 people by year, for anchoring a local score. Deterministic, no AI.

## Output

Returns a structured response with annualized crime rates per 100,000 people broken down by year, scoped to either the national level or a specific US state, for the requested offense type and trailing year window. Data is sourced deterministically from public FBI UCR and NIBRS records with no AI inference.
