score_address — LIVE-score any real US street address: geocodes it, pulls live federal data (FEMA flood, USGS seismic, USDA soil, EPA radon, USFS wildfire, OSM utilities), and runs the real Buildability Score.
search_parcels — Search scored parcels by text (address, city, state, zoning) and/or filters.
parcel_details — Full facts for one parcel: zoning standards, valuation, comps, hazards, ownership, lot size, Opportunity Zone.
feasibility — Buildable-envelope + score for one parcel: max units, FAR, height, coverage, plus the Score and top risk.
run_scenario — Re-score a parcel under "what-if" levers and return the before/after delta (score + units).
pencil_proforma — Pencil a development pro-forma for one parcel with the versioned Pencil It engine: fit vs the zoning envelope (with headroom), cost stack, value band from curated comps (explicit valueBasis), margin band (ONLY when acquisitionPrice is given — never quote a margin without land cost), rent yield when the basis is valid, residual land value for vacant land.
market_index — Rank metros on the City Buildability Index (a top-down market score, distinct from a parcel Score) with component breakdowns (supply, demand, regulatory, hazard).
envelope — What a lot can hold by right, from the letter of its zoning code applied to the real parcel outline: units, buildable floor area, height, floors, and setbacks — every number cited to the code section, URL and read date.
