What this server can do

18 functions, named and described by the server itself. Parameter names are shown because they say more about what a function does than its name usually does.

check_geometry(loc_id, loc_ids, batch_id, request_id)

Fast shape-only preflight for one loc_id or a bounded loc_id list. Reports whether each exact identity has reusable geometry and its geometry vintage; it does not resolve points or explain identity relationships. Use before get_geometry or an export. No payment required.

compare_geographies(as_of, items, batch_id, left_as_of, request_id, left_loc_id, right_as_of, right_loc_id, include_successors)

Detailed relationship tool for two geographic identities. Returns temporal validity, N-way successor context, topology, geodesic intersection area, and directional overlap shares when approved geometry exists. Use this after a compact point lookup when the caller asks whether two tiers/releases really contain or overlap one another. A point-chain seam is not proof of strict parentage. Use resolve_reference first for names or outside identifiers. No payment required.

convert_reference(iso3, items, limit, value, batch_id, min_share, to_system, request_id, from_system, bridge_vintage, target_admin_level)

Free geography utility. Converts one reference, or a bounded list of references, from one geographic reference system into another by resolving through DaedalMap loc_id: X -> loc_id -> Y. Use this for workflows like ZIP/ZCTA to NWS fire zones, NWS zone to counties, county to overlapping ZCTAs, or any future catalog-backed reference bridge. No payment required.

create_conversion_job(items, quote_id, to_system, request_id, from_system, target_admin_level)

Creates an accepted user-data conversion job. Small item batches can complete inline; larger batches return a queued job_id for artifact processing and status polling. Required: from_system, items.

create_geometry_export(scope, format, loc_id, loc_ids, quote_id, request_id, include_polygon)

Creates a geometry export from exact loc_ids or one strict scope. Tiny selections can complete inline; larger selections return a queued job_id. This does not define or publish a canonical geometry release package.

estimate_conversion_job(items, row_count, to_system, request_id, from_system, target_admin_level)

Free dry-run quote for uploaded or pasted user data conversion. Estimates rows, sample resolvability, output bytes, errors, and charge units before execution.

estimate_geometry_package(scope, format, loc_id, loc_ids, request_id, include_polygon)

Dry-run estimate for a selected geometry export: exact loc_id count, shape/vintage availability, bytes, delivery mode, citation requirements, and charge units. This estimates an export artifact, not a canonical DaedalMap geometry release bundle.

get_catalog

Free discovery. Returns the list of live agent-ready data packs available on DaedalMap.

get_geometry(loc_id, loc_ids, batch_id, request_id, include_polygon)

Shape retrieval for exact loc_ids, including loc_ids from any level of a resolve_point chain. Returns geometry metadata, vintage, centroid, bounding box, and optional GeoJSON polygon. It does not explain hierarchy or crosswalks; use loc_id_info for those details. Prefer bbox/centroid unless exact rendering or clipping requires the polygon. No payment required.

get_job_status(job_id, request_id)

Checks queued/running/completed async geometry export and conversion jobs. Returns progress, errors, callback state, and artifact links when available. Required: job_id.

get_pack(pack_id)

Free discovery. Returns detailed metadata, coverage, freshness, preferred canonical tool guidance, and first-query examples for one pack. Call this before querying a new pack so you can see time shape, coverage limits, and the paste-ready first query. Required: pack_id.

get_tool_help(tool_name)

Free blind-caller guidance for one tool visible on this MCP facade. Returns when to use it, what it refuses, a working example, effective access limits, important outputs, provenance fields, and recommended next calls. Use tools/list to discover names, then call this before an unfamiliar tool. Required: tool_name.

list_reference_systems(request_id)

Free geography utility. Lists the currently exchangeable geographic reference systems in DaedalMap, including catalog-backed geometry families, bridge artifacts, row counts, vintages, target levels, and source license metadata. Call this first when you need to know whether ZIP/ZCTA, NWS zones, tribal areas, marine ids, NUTS-style regional ids, or other systems can be exchanged through loc_id. No payment required.

loc_id_info(iso3, loc_id, loc_ids, systems, batch_id, min_share, request_id, limit_per_system, include_hierarchy, include_references, target_admin_level)

The drill-down tool for loc_ids returned by resolve_point and other geography calls. Pass one loc_id, or pass the point result's stack loc_ids together, to retrieve metadata, strict stored parentage, shape status, vintage/lifecycle fields, and child counts. Set include_hierarchy for the strict same-release ancestor chain and include_references for external or side-chain crosswalks. This is where detailed chain explanation belongs; resolve_point intentionally stays compact. For exact polygons use get_geometry, and for overlap or successor analysis use compare_geographies. No payment required.

read_geometry_catalog(view, limit, request_id)

Free geography discovery. Reads the DaedalMap geometry catalog in an agent-friendly form so you can see collections, families, banks, crosswalk products, and named reference objects before choosing loc_id tools. Use view='summary' first; use view='full' only when you need the whole catalog. No payment required.

resolve_loc_id_scope(bbox, limit, scope, offset, count_only, request_id, admin_level, parent_loc_id)

Strict hierarchy traversal. Given one stored parent loc_id and target admin level, returns descendants from that coherent parent chain. This is not the mixed-vintage latest-per-depth point resolver and must not bridge release seams. Use it before shape exports such as every county in a selected parent scope. No natural-language decoding is performed.

resolve_point(lat, lon, points, batch_id, request_id, bulk_preset, country_hint, country_scope, target_admin_level)

Compact reverse geocoding. Converts one WGS84 point, or a bounded point list, into the latest-available administrative loc_id chain. Each chain row is intentionally small: loc_id, name, admin level, and vintage when available. This tool does not return polygons, hierarchy analysis, references, overlap percentages, lifecycle, provenance, or release-conversion detail. Pass the returned stack loc_ids to loc_id_info for details; use get_geometry for shapes and compare_geographies for relationships. Small exploratory calls may omit scope and resolve through the deepest served tier. Batches above the 25-point preview must declare exactly one country_scope and one target_admin_level; split multi-country input into one call per country. Cross-country admin-0/admin-1 batches may instead use bulk_preset. Anonymous callers pay above 25, while verified accounts receive included bulk throughput through 10,000 points.

resolve_reference(iso3, as_of, items, limit, value, batch_id, min_share, request_id, from_system, country_hint, bridge_vintage, admin_level_hint, target_admin_level)

Free geography utility. Converts one value, or a bounded list of values, from an external or adjacent geographic reference system into the DaedalMap loc_id universe. Examples: from_system='zip' value='00601'; from_system='nws_fire' value='AKZ317'; from_system='admin_boundary' value='Fairfax County'. Returns ranked loc_id matches with bridge vintage, overlap weights, and provenance where applicable. No payment required.

These share tags the maintainers applied themselves, such as climate, demographics, disaster-data, earthquakes. Common tags like "mcp" or "ai" are ignored for this: agreeing with six hundred other projects is not a similarity.
