Zoning Signal

Return the canonical product description for Zoning Signal: what the observatory is, the four artifact types it publishes, the regional scope of current coverage, and the methodology. Call once per session to ground subsequent tool calls in canonical context.

List every place dossier (per-jurisdiction reading) the observatory publishes. Optionally filter by state. Returns city, state, slug, signal strength, signal direction, and the dossier URL. Use to discover the available place-level coverage before calling describe_place. Phase 12 renamed it from list_cities to align with the canonical content-type vocabulary (the loader function is getAllContent("

List every published corridor page. A corridor is the cross-municipal economic-topology view: the cross-jurisdiction read on a shared infrastructure spine, aquifer, or commercial gravity field. Returns name, slug, constituent cities, primary axis, and URL.

List every named pattern in the Pattern Atlas. A named pattern is a coined recurring structure observed across multiple jurisdictions or multiple meetings (e.g., "The Quiet Revolution"). Returns slug, display name, canonical pattern URL (/patterns/{slug}, the DefinedTerm canonical home as of Phase 9), lifecycle stage, horizon, confidence, exhibits count, spatial scope, related briefs, and the voxe

Return the full dossier for a named pattern: voxel_lead, signal_status (horizon/confidence), scope (spatial/temporal/topical/corridors), full exhibits inventory with detection metadata, defensive responses, provenance chain, related briefs, related places, related corridors, audiences, and the canonical surfaces (dossier URL, DefinedTerm @id, DefinedTermSet @id, atlas list URL). Use when an agent

List every named entity in the Decoder Index, the smallest citable unit of authority in the corpus. Returns the four-class taxonomy (Person / Organization / Legislation / CreativeWork) with class-specific summary fields (jobTitle for Person; jurisdiction for Organization / Legislation / Project; legal_status for Legislation; case_number + work_status for Project) plus cross-reference counts (meeti

Return the full structured dossier for a named entity: the canonical citable artifact for any actor, organization, ordinance, or project the corpus references. Returns: voxel_lead (134-167 word voxel-disciplined identity prose), canonical_role, the class-specific cluster (person.voting_record for board members; organization.type + jurisdiction; legislation.legal_status + effective_date + sunset_da

Return meeting readings for a specific city across an optional date range. A meeting reading is a plain-English read of one harvested planning-board, council, or commission meeting, with signal extraction and entity mapping. Use to drill from a city or corridor into the temporal record.

Return meeting readings across all cities, optionally filtered by date range or jurisdiction substring. Same response shape as meeting_index but with no required parameters. Call with no args to get the full corpus, or pass a jurisdiction substring (e.g., "minneola") to filter by city without requiring an exact match. Use when you need to enumerate the full meeting record or scan across cities by

Return The Watch, the field's forward calendar of pending events, scheduled hearings, regulatory sunsets, and condition-triggered milestones the observatory is tracking. Filter by status (pending / resolved / obsolete), horizon (imminent / near-term / structural), or scope (place / corridor / brief). Use to surface what the field is watching from any cognitive position.

Return the observatory's public calibration scorecard: the aggregate accuracy of past watch-item directional reads, horizon calls, and significance assessments across resolved watches. Returns: total_resolved, directional accuracy (aligned + 0.5 × mixed), horizon accuracy (within / total), significance accuracy (confirmed / total), per-confidence-pip stratification, recent resolutions, and per-jur

Return the dossier projection for a city, in the requested cognitive lens. Defaults to the synthesis projection (the multidimensional view that holds all lenses in superposition and names the dialectics). Pass a single-lens value to get the focused cognitive position. This is useful when the agent is acting on behalf of a user with a specific stake (developer underwriting, investor thesis, broker

Return the dossier projection for a corridor, in the requested cognitive lens. Same lens enum and default as describe_place. Corridor projections surface cross-municipal dialectics and shared-infrastructure dynamics that no single place dossier captures.

Return the full dossier projection for a meeting reading, in the requested cognitive lens. Same lens enum and default as describe_place / describe_corridor: eight total projections (seven stakeholder lenses, namely developer, investor, broker, attorney, business, resident and civic-leader, plus synthesis as the default). Returns the lens-projected body, full frontmatter (jurisdiction, board, meeti

Return the full dossier for a watch item, the observatory's forward-looking observation primitive. Returns title, subtitle, scope (place / corridor / pattern / brief / region), trigger (type / date / condition), significance (horizon / confidence / why_it_matters_voxel), full body prose, four-clock freshness, and citation-stable claims[]. For RESOLVED watches, also returns the outcome cluster (out

Submit feedback to the observatory's operators about the MCP tool surface. The active counterpart to the passive invocation log. Categories: 'gap' (a capability you expected and didn't find), 'error' (an unexpected failure or wrong result), 'praise' (a tool or surface that did exactly what you needed), 'suggestion' (a refinement you'd recommend), 'citation_request' (a claim or fact you want surfac

Search every record by exact words and by meaning at once: meeting agendas and minutes, place dossiers, corridors, named patterns and briefs, entities and watch items. Finds a case, ordinance or resolution number, a parcel id or alternate key, an address, a project, firm or person, or a plain-language question. Ranking fuses three lists by reciprocal rank: full-text match (every word as written; "

Trace how two named things in the planning record connect, and report how specific that connection is. Give `from` and `to` for the shortest route between them; give `from` alone to rank what one actor connects to; give neither to rank the corpus's most specific connections. Endpoints are entity, meeting, or named-pattern slugs; list_entities, list_meetings and list_patterns discover them. Routes
