explode_gpd
Split multi-part geospatial geometries into individual components for analysis. Converts complex geographic data into separate features using geopandas.explode.
Instructions
Split multi-part geometries into single parts using geopandas.explode. Args: gdf_path: Path to the geospatial file. output_path: Optional path to save the result. Returns: Dictionary with status, message, and output info.

Implementation Reference
- Core implementation of the 'explode_gpd' MCP tool: loads GeoDataFrame, explodes multi-part geometries, optionally saves output, returns metadata and preview.
