Call this when the user asks for a full analysis of a specific property. If the user's intent is unclear, ask which mode to use before calling. Returns a report ID and poll URL — the final structured report (scores, confidence ratings, narrative summary, source citations) is delivered asynchronously via polling or webhook.
get_land_quick_scoreGet a fast suitability score (0-100) for a US property without generating a full report. Call this when the user wants a quick go/no-go assessment or an initial screening before committing to a full analysis. Returns a single score with confidence level and one-sentence rationale.
get_state_land_profileRetrieve state-level land intelligence data covering regulation, climate, solar potential, water access, and building codes. Call this when the user wants general context about a US state before drilling into a specific property. Returns structured multi-mode profiles.
compare_propertiesCompare 2–5 US properties side by side using the same analysis mode. Call this when the user is evaluating multiple parcels or listings and wants a comparative view. Returns a comparison table with scores, highlights, and recommendations per property.
get_solar_potentialEstimate solar energy production potential for a US address using NREL PVWatts data. Call this when the user asks about solar power viability, off-grid energy, or panel sizing. Returns estimated annual production, system sizing recommendation, and cost bracket.
