Server tool list (3)
Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.
| environment_near | Federal environmental records within a radius of a US location: Superfund/NPL sites, TRI toxic-release facilities, and facilities currently flagged for significant noncompliance. Pass EITHER a street address (geocoded via the US Census geocoder) OR lat/lon coordinates. |
| drinking_water | Public water systems serving a US state + county and/or city, with health-based SDWA violation summaries. Matching is approximate (service boundaries are not public); the user's water bill names their actual utility. |
| due_diligence | Address due-diligence layer scores for a US location: school quality, natural hazards, groundwater contamination, Superfund proximity, air quality, highway noise, walkability, crime, and climate pleasantness (pleasant days/year). Scores are 0-1 with 1.0 = favorable; null = cannot score that layer here. no_coverage flags placeholder values machine-readably; relay caveats verbatim. Coverage: Superfund/toxic-release proximity national; other environmental layers CA/Bay Area; schools all 50 states and DC (2023-2025 results); climate CONUS (no AK/HI); crime SF/Oakland/Chicago. Pass EITHER a street address (geocoded via the US Census geocoder) OR lat/lon coordinates. |
