Inspect loc_id boundaries, retrieve bounded shapes, and compare places and coverage.
Scored across 7 tools
The descriptions work hard to separate the layers: get_catalog lists packs/families, get_geography inspects a geometry family's coverage/editions, get_pack inspects one data pack's metrics, and get_shape returns actual geometry. The remaining risk is that all four are 'metadata inspection at different granularity' and an agent could pick the wrong level (pack vs. geography vs. shape) without reading carefully. get_loc_id_info and compare_geographies are cleanly distinct.
Every name is snake_case verb_noun (get_catalog, get_geography, get_pack, get_shape, get_loc_id_info, get_tool_help) with a single deliberate 'compare_' variant for the one comparative operation. No camelCase mixing or vague bare verbs.
Seven tools is well-scoped for a read-only catalog/geometry facade: one each for catalog, family, pack, shape, identifier, comparison, and help. Nothing appears redundant, and the surface stays small enough to reason about.
The metadata and geometry surface is coherent, but there are dead ends: get_pack tells the agent to call get_data 'before get_data', yet no get_data tool exists on this facade, and get_shape requires obtaining descendant IDs while get_loc_id_info explicitly refuses to expand descendants and no expansion tool is offered. The referenced external identifier bridge and any search-by-name capability are also absent, forcing agents to leave the facade mid-workflow.
Compare two known loc_ids using selected reference-graph identity and direct relationship evidence. Verified Admin ancestry can prove containment; a typed graph edge can prove only the relation it declares. An explicit negative edge returns no_overlap; a missing edge returns unknown. This tool never reads polygons or computes shape intersections. Use an external identifier bridge before this call when the input is not a loc_id. No payment required.

Choose data or geometry to list published pack IDs or family and scope IDs. The response includes a complete catalog download URL. Use get_pack for data or get_geography for geometry. Current catalog: The same geography tools work worldwide across a cataloged baseline of 252 geographic entities, reaching up to Admin 2. Where additional country releases are available, the same calls automatically return deeper administrative tiers or maintained reference families. Additional detail is currently available for Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Mexico, United Kingdom, United States.
Inputs: catalog (required). Returns: error, packs, detail, reason, +20 more
Inspect one published geometry family across scopes or one scope across families. Returns coverage and known editions from catalog metadata only. Optional year selects the latest admitted edition no later than that year when the selected catalog has an edition index; an unavailable index is reported explicitly.
Inputs: year, scope_id, family_id. Returns: error, reason, catalog, coverage, +10 more
Look up one known loc_id or a small batch in the selected reference graph. Return its identity and directly recorded loc_id connections, with family, direction, and relationship evidence. Each ID returns at most 50 connections and an explicit has_more flag. This tool does not expand descendants, infer containment, read shapes, search catalogs, or consult external adapters. No payment required.
Inputs: loc_id, loc_ids, batch_id, request_id. Returns: ok, iso3, name, error, +21 more
Inspect one exact data pack ID for its metrics, time coverage, and query metadata before get_data.
Inputs: pack_id (required). Returns: error, detail, reason, catalog, +12 more
Shape lookup for exact existing loc_ids only. The default returns shape availability, centroid, and bounding box; include_polygon=true adds GeoJSON coordinates. Obtain any descendant IDs before this call. Historical geometry is returned first and successors are never substituted automatically. Year selection is not yet supported.
Inputs: loc_id, loc_ids, batch_id, request_id, +1 more. Returns: ok, error, items, reason, +13 more
Describe one tool visible on this facade, including its exact contract, or return a bounded workflow overview for one supported topic.
Inputs: topic, question, tool_name. Returns: ok, error, title, access, +13 more
