Scored across 6 tools
Tools like get_housing_stats, get_cost_of_living, and get_area_demographics overlap in scope but are distinguished by their specific focus on raw housing data, affordability indices, and demographics, respectively. The descriptions clarify these differences, though potential confusion remains between similar state-level data retrieval tools.
All tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern using underscores (e.g., get_area_demographics, compare_areas), with 'get' as the common action verb. No mixing of casing or verb styles is observed.
6 tools is an appropriate scope for a real estate data server, covering key area-level statistics, comparisons, and nearby amenities without being excessive or sparse. Each tool has a distinct role.
The tool set covers essential area-level housing, demographic, and cost-of-living data, plus neighborhood search and amenities. Minor gaps include the absence of zip-code-level data and property-specific listings, but these are within the stated domain focus.
U.S. real-estate data: property records, AVM value + rent estimates, sale/rental listings.
One API for public web data across social, directories and real estate, as clean JSON.
Any US address: flood, HUD rent, county tax. Parcel zoning/STR rules: Nashville, Denver, Scottsdale.
