locus-local-context

Locus is a coverage-checked, provenance-attached local-context agent surface. It returns cited official local facts, diagnostics, and x402-paid briefs/reports for awareness and verification — never safe/unsafe verdicts, screening, rankings, predictions, or person dossiers.

Skills

• Area reported-crime context
  Return cited area-level reported-crime context for a place from wired official municipal feeds (Cary CPD, Morrisville PD, Raleigh NIBRS, Charlotte CMPD) or county/agency sources (NC SBI, SC SLED, FBI CDE). Use when the user asks about crime, safety records, or reported incidents for a place; an address only resolves its city/county, the data is area-level. Answer crime from this. City/area counts only, never street/block crime, person/case detail, a verdict, score, ranking, or prediction. Reports are allegations. Free read-only Locus tool. Returns cited diagnostics or official-source context only; full briefs and reports stay x402-paid. Input JSON Schema is available from /tools/list.

  Resolve a US address/point and link to the official FCC National Broadband Map to check fixed-broadband providers, technologies (fiber/cable/fixed wireless/satellite), and max advertised speeds, plus the current data vintage.

• Coverage check
  Return Locus source-registry coverage for a ZIP/address, SPLIT BY DATA FAMILY so one weak lane never means 'skip Locus': civicLaneStatus (permits/311/code: supported/partial/discovery/unsupported), parcelStatus (verified/none), nationalEndpointStatus (always 'available'), and alwaysAvailable — the national point-query tools (flood, wildfire, environmental, radon, seismic, NFIP, EPA, representatives, housing/economic indices, …) that fire for ANY US address regardless of civic/parcel coverage. Also returns verified sources, missing recommended sources, parcel-facts availability, policy signal, a notCovered list (what Locus has no wired source for + how to request it), and a capabilityMap pointer to locus_lane_availability for the full per-tool map (incl. development_cases/capital_projects).

• What works here
  Per-address capability map: given a ZIP/address, classify the full Locus tool universe into what will actually return data there — national lanes (always), local lanes (a source is wired here), 'varies' (confirm by calling the free tool), and not-covered — plus per paid tool a price, manifest URL, and a conservative substanceHere signal so an agent knows what is worth paying for BEFORE spending. A wired source is not a guarantee of rows for the exact address. Coverage metadata only; no records or verdicts.

• Building permits near a point (metro open data)

Where a city open-data portal is wired (chicago, austin, seattle, san francisco, los angeles, new york, mesa, miami, nashville, washington, san antonio, phoenix, denver, fort worth, buffalo, detroit, raleigh, cumming) it returns address-level permit RECORDS (permit number, type, status, issue date, reported cost, citation, and permit-overhang watch items). Everywhere else in the US it falls back to a national COUNTY-LEVEL permit TREND from the Census Building Permits Survey (annual residential units authorized, single-family vs multifamily, recent-year direction) — aggregate context, not address-level records.

A search-capable agent runs the searches and cites official sources. STARTING-PLACE LEADS for your model to review — not legal advice, not the official record, never a determination of what is permitted. Right jurisdiction is guaranteed when a place resolves; right section is not. Read-only; Locus serves no ordinance text. Free read-only Locus tool.

• State & federal representatives for an address (cited)
  Return the US congressional, state senate, and state house districts containing an address (national, Census TIGERweb) plus, where Open States is keyed/available, the current STATE legislators and US Congress members for those districts AND state executives (governor/lt-governor/AG) where Open States lists them — party, district, official-capacity office contacts, and Open States + official-chamber source links (districts always return; the officials lane is budget-capped and degrades to districts-only). Use when the user asks who their state/federal legislators or state executives are, or which legislative districts an address is in. Local officials (mayors, city councils, county commissioners, school boards) and any Open States gaps are NOT in this result — find those via official sites or a cited web search; for district numbers only use locus_governing_districts; for bills/ordinances use the paid locus-local-policy-brief. Public officials in official capacity only — cited facts, never political advice, ballot guidance, ranking, endorsement, or eligibility determination. Read-only. Free read-only Locus tool.

Each result is a cited mirror row (fetchMode 'mirror') with the last sync date; the tool degrades to source_unavailable when the mirror is stale. Use when the user asks about 311 reports, code/nuisance complaints, street/graffiti/encampment requests, or city-service activity near a San Diego address.

  FREE preview of nearby parcels with a REPORTED public-record tax or foreclosure status near a point — tax delinquency, tax-lien sale, tax/mortgage foreclosure, sheriff sale, tax auction — from wired official county/treasurer/sheriff GIS sources. Returns COVERAGE + a nearby COUNT + a distress-type breakdown (byType), NOT the itemized records: the per-record site address, amount owed, and parcel id are the paid locus-tax-liens lookup. Use when the user asks whether/how many tax-distressed, delinquent, foreclosure, tax-sale, or sheriff-sale properties are near an address in a covered county. Coverage (registry-derived): Pinal County, AZ (tax delinquency); Yavapai County, AZ (tax-lien sale); Shasta County, CA (tax auction); Orange County, FL (mortgage foreclosure); Dakota County, MN (mortgage foreclosure); Craven County, NC (tax foreclosure); Allen County, OH (tax delinquency); Franklin County, OH (tax foreclosure, tax delinquency); Mahoning County, OH (tax delinquency); Stark County, OH (tax delinquency); Horry County, SC (tax delinquency); Bexar County, TX (tax foreclosure, mortgage foreclosure); Cache County, UT (tax delinquency); Milwaukee County, WI (sheriff sale).

NATIONAL (any US address). These are geographic boundaries relevant to property-tax context, NOT proof each levies a tax and NOT an exhaustive list: RATES are excluded (use locus_property_tax_rates or paid locus-property-tax), and special districts (MUD/fire/hospital/water) + townships are NOT in Census TIGER (check the county appraisal district).

Unwired places return a clean not-covered result. Use for 'what is the zoning of this address', 'residential or commercial zoning', 'zoning code lookup'. Zoning is most decision-relevant as a CHANGE and relative to NEIGHBORS, so for 'is this parcel being rezoned', 'zoning changes near an address', or 'is nearby redevelopment changing this area', pair this with the companion free tools (locus_development_cases for active rezonings/site plans, locus_local_legislation for zoning/ADU/STR bills, locus_capital_projects for nearby public investment, locus_parcel_transfers for recently recorded sales nearby) — this tool returns the static district; those show what may change the zoning picture here.
