Describe one tool visible on this facade, including its exact contract, or return a bounded workflow overview for one supported topic.

Discover data packs or geometry families progressively: lite selection, full metric/query inventory, or a raw catalog download URL. Choose one result and call get_pack next.

Inspect one selected data pack or geometry family progressively: lite starter contract, full MCP query metadata, or a raw metadata download URL. Use its next_step to retrieve data or call the preferred geometry tool.

Retrieve one exact disaster event and explicitly requested relationships, affected places, native observations, or geometry. Use get_data to obtain the stable event_id first.

Compact first-pass reverse geocoding for one WGS84 coordinate or a bounded point array. Returns administrative loc_id chains through Admin 3 without opening deep partitions or side-family shape banks. Use a returned shallow loc_id with resolve_deep_point for Admin 4-6 or one explicit family. Single and bulk requests share this contract; access limits are based on point count.

Second-pass resolution for one WGS84 coordinate or a bounded point array. Supply one shared shallow_loc_id returned by resolve_point and one canonical family from get_catalog(catalog='geometry'). family defaults to administrative; shape-backed families use direct bbox-to-exact-shape lookup without crosswalks. Single and bulk requests share this scoped contract.

Known-place navigation and enrichment tool: use only when you already have one canonical loc_id or a bounded loc_ids array. It returns identity, strict stored parentage, lifecycle, shape status, and place-specific data-pack and geometry-family availability with executable next calls. It does not list the global catalog and does not return polygon coordinates; use get_catalog to browse everything or get_geometry for shapes. Set include_hierarchy for same-release ancestors and include_references for maintained external or cross-family connections. Historical records are never replaced automatically. No payment required.

Multi-column dataset classifier: use when you do not yet know which column or latitude/longitude pair represents geography. Pass bounded samples from several named scalar columns; it selects the plausible geography column(s), then proposes a country, level, and maintained reference-system binding. It does not validate a preselected identifier column value-by-value; after selecting a code column, use identify_reference_system when explicit verification is needed. Returns up to three reviewable bindings and recommends only an unambiguous high-confidence result. No geometry is loaded and no full dataset is retained. No payment required.

Single-column code-system classifier: use after an identifier column has already been selected, or to inspect one bounded set of like geography codes. Pass only identifier strings from that one field so leading zeros are preserved. It determines or verifies the system, country, level, vintage, and compatible geometry bank; it does not choose among dataset columns, convert the full dataset, or return polygons. Use identify_dataset_geography instead when column selection is still unknown. Ambiguous results remain unselected until the caller retries with expected.system; a known system can be verified by supplying expected on the first call. No payment required.

The single geographic reference converter. Converts one reference, or a bounded list, through DaedalMap loc_id: X -> loc_id -> Y. Omit to_system to enter the loc_id universe; provide it for any-to-any conversion. Use get_pack first when the family or country-specific system is unknown. No payment required.

Compare two geographic identities for the public guarantees implemented today: containment/common ancestry and temporal validity for the requested vintages. The response may include additional maintained evidence, but callers must not rely on deeper topology or relationship semantics as a stable contract until that review is complete. Use convert_reference first for names or outside identifiers. No payment required.

Shape availability and bounded coordinate retrieval only: use when you already have exact loc_ids, or one administrative parent_loc_id plus target admin_level. The default fast preflight returns has_shape, shape metadata, centroid, and bounding box; set include_polygon=true only for GeoJSON coordinates. Use get_loc_id_info for hierarchy, identity, catalog coverage, or crosswalk facts; get_geometry does not return those place details. Administrative scope queries stay within the optimized Admin Spine layout, while independent geometry families require exact loc_ids. Historical geometry is returned first and successors are never substituted automatically. No payment required.

Retrieve rows from one selected published data pack using exact metrics, loc_id-based region filters, time/metric filters, sorting, and a row limit. Disaster event rows include stable event_id values for get_event drill-down. A parent administrative loc_id selects matching descendant rows at the pack's published grain. Call get_pack first; geometry families use their focused next-step tools.
