// about · §01
The free /tools/imei-check page is rate-limited and meant for casual lookups. The Device Risk API is the B2B variant: HMAC-signed, unlimited lookups under contract, with per-call billing and SLA-grade response times.
Backed by the same BlacklistRecord table that powers PhoneToolkit's on-device blocked tracker. Aggregated from: KAKEL Store's own returns flow, Companion APK stolen-reports, AT&T orphan workflow, partner contributions, and GSMA Device Check (where licensed).
