Implementation Reference

• src/functions/places/impl.py:29-124 (handler)

  The main handler function for the 'analysis_area' tool. It is decorated with @mcp.tool() for registration and implements the core logic: caching results based on geographic parameters, computing stargazing locations using StargazingPlaceFinder if cache miss, serializing results, applying pagination, and formatting the response.

          network_type: Type of road network ('drive', 'walk', etc.).
          db_config_path: Optional path to database config.
