- `admin_lookup`: The admin hierarchy containing a point: neighborhood up to country
- `buildings_at`: Nearest building footprints to a point
- `compare_areas`: 2–5 areas side by side: category mix, density, and what differs most
- `distance_matrix`: Straight-line distances between many origins and destinations at once
- `find_places`: Named places near a point or inside a named area/division polygon, nearest first — filter by category, brand, confidence, operating status, or has-website/has-p
- `geocode`: Free-text place name → ranked candidates with coordinates and admin context (geocode_batch for many at once)
- `geocode_address`: Street address → coordinates: "1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View" — city-bounded, deduplicated to distinct number+street, nearest first
- `gers_lookup`: Any GERS id → the entity it names (place, division, or building), what it's inside, and the building at its point
- `infrastructure_at`: Infrastructure near a point, nearest first — filter by subtype/infra_class (e.g. bridge, tower) to see past the street furniture
- `isochrone`: The area reachable within N minutes on foot, bike, or car

- `place_details`: One place in full: addresses, contacts, brand, sources, confidence
- `places_along_route`: Places on the way from A to B
- `resolve_place`: Free-text place reference → stable ids an agent can hold onto across turns (resolve_place_batch)
- `reverse_geocode`: Point → nearest address plus its containing admin areas (reverse_geocode_batch)
- `route`: Shortest-path distance and duration between two points, on foot, bike, or car; include_path=true adds the simplified route polyline

- `summarize_area`: What's in an area: total places and top categories
- `summarize_buildings`: Building stock in an area: count, footprint area, height and use mix
- `water_near`: Water near a point, nearest first — is this waterfront, how far to the nearest river/canal/lake; filter by subtype/water_class
- `within_distance`: Is the nearest matching place within N meters of a point?
