36
|
+
- **46 national free tools are available with no payment or local coverage check.** The live free catalog exposes 78 tools total. Use national free lanes for rural addresses too, including flood, storm, wildfire, soil, groundwater-monitoring wells, cleanup, toxic-release, underground storage tank / leaking-tank, drought, water-system and non-UCMR PFAS records, sewer-overflow/CSO context, broadband, wetland, terrain, air-quality, governing-district, housing/economic, nearby-place, public-utility, county Medicare-spending, and aggregate traffic-crash context. Mirror-backed lanes return explicit missing, partial, stale, or unavailable states instead of treating missing data as favorable.
|
|
23
37
|
- **National free tools cover all 50 states for geocodable US addresses.** Local lanes are wired jurisdiction by jurisdiction and are growing. Always expect national context. Treat local parcel, zoning, permit, tax, and development-case depth as coverage-dependent.
|
|
24
38
|
- **Start with `locus_place_facts` when lane availability says it is available.** It is the one-call address bundle for supported parcel areas: parcel facts, FEMA flood zone, governing districts, transportation context, and tax context where wired.
|
|
25
|
-
- **Use `locus_lane_availability` before paid calls.**
|
|
39
|
+
- **Use `locus_lane_availability` before paid calls.** Summary mode gives a short native-product shortlist. Use `detailLevel: "full"` or the paid index for exact paid-only atomic buy signals.
|
|
26
40
|
- **Treat partial trend coverage as a check-first signal.** `supported_partial` trend places appear in `lanes.varies` with low paid substance; buy `locus-local-trend-brief` only when `buyRecommendations[].substanceHere` is `medium` or better. Thin exact-radius results can return a `charged:false` data-sufficiency diagnostic instead of a paid brief.

Buyers do not need a Locus or Coinbase Developer Platform account API key. Free tools are open. Paid tools return a live x402 or advertised MPP challenge. `PAYMENT-SIGNATURE` is a signed payment credential, not an account API key.

For broad requests, start with the three bundles in the top-agent manifest. For exact lanes, use the full catalog. A paid entry has a free underscore route only when it publishes `dualFreeTool` or a free `counterparts[]` entry. The six paid-only atomics do not. Free executor names use underscores (`locus_zoning`); paid REST slugs use hyphens (`locus-zoning`). Execute the entry's exact `callName`.

## Surrounding-area orchestration route
|
|
61
84
|
|
|
85
|
+
When the buyer wants more than the free `locus_surrounding_parcels` primitive and needs one composed view of surrounding parcels, zoning, development cases, permits, legislation, transportation/capital projects, environmental mechanisms, and optional dated aerial evidence, load the separate `locus-surrounding-area-analysis` skill. It owns the paid two-stage workflow and its recovery states. Keep this general capability skill on free discovery and the broader public tool surface; do not copy the paid workflow into ordinary Locus calls. For 100 or 200 m compact windows, treat exact returned distances as the window result. Standard ring aggregates are `null` whenever the request did not cover that full 250, 500, or 1,000 m ring.

## Workflow and coverage tools, know the difference
|
|
88
|
+
|
|
89
|
+
- **`locus_suggest_workflow { "place": "...", "intent": "homebuyer_due_diligence" }`** is the free deterministic planner. It returns a ranked endpoint plan with reasons, estimated costs, free/paid rail, national/local scope, and place availability. Use it first when the intent is broad or the right endpoint is unclear. Accepted intents are `renter_due_diligence`, `homebuyer_due_diligence`, `small_business_siting`, `community_organizer_journalist`, `commercial_tenant_due_diligence`, `land_investor_due_diligence`, `developer_predevelopment`, `environmental_research`, `short_term_rental_operations`, `data_center_development`, `agricultural_land_due_diligence`, and `hoa_board_governance`; short natural-language equivalents such as `STR license check` are also normalized. These extra planner lanes route tools only; they do not widen the four safety-versioned paid brief claim intents.
|
|
62
90
|
- **`locus_coverage_check { "place": "..." }`** asks whether Locus has source coverage for a jurisdiction at all. Use it for a broad city, county, ZIP, or address scope check.
|
|
63
91
|
- **`locus_lane_availability { "place": "..." }`** is the per-address capability map. It returns which exact tools are national, local, varies, not covered, or degraded, plus buy signals for paid tools. Call this before address-specific local lanes and before paying.
|
|
64
92
|
- **`locus_coverage_map {}`** returns the whole registry view. Use it when an agent needs breadth, not one address.
|
|
65
93
|
|
|
94
|
+
## Storefront and commercial-tenant context
|
|
95
|
+
|
|
96
|
+
- Keep listing discovery outside Locus and preserve listing claims as unverified leads in source order. Do not rank sites.
|
|
97
|
+
- Use paid `locus-workplace-employment-context` when a commercial broker, tenant representative, or site selector needs annual Census workplace job counts and broad industries near a selected site. Jobs are not shoppers, foot traffic, visits, sales, customer demand, or a forecast.
|
|
98
|
+
- The tool can return `not_ingested`, `stale_snapshot`, `source_unavailable`, `partial`, or a bounded no-match. Do not turn any of these into zero employment.
|
|
99
|
+
- For a user-selected premises, call paid `locus-transaction-follow-up` with `intent: "commercial_tenant_due_diligence"`. Add `requestedAreaContext: ["workplace_employment"]` only when the user asks for that context.
|
|
100
|
+
- `area_operating_context` is supplemental. It cannot make a thin exact-premises packet chargeable.
|
|
101
|
+
- Choose `locus_nearby_places` for free current mapped amenities. Paid `locus-wikipedia-place-context` runs topic-agnostic geosearch, so it may return places, institutions, events, or people. Use it only as community reference research; never turn person-topic articles into property, resident, customer, screening, or neighborhood claims. Use paid `locus-wikimedia-commons-area-context` for nearby media license metadata and attribution leads.
|
|
102
|
+
- Commons items remain `nearby_context`. Proximity does not prove that media depicts the premises or represents the area. Metadata is not reuse permission. Verify storage, transformation, redistribution, attribution, and share-alike rights before reuse.
|
|
103
|
+
- Before offering `locus-local-fiscal-context`, call `locus_lane_availability` with `detailLevel: "full"` and inspect that exact paid-tool entry. It states whether an active verified fiscal snapshot exists and explains when a paid call would return `charged:false` because the snapshot is missing, stale, or thin. `locus_coverage_check` points to this capability map but does not affirm every available paid lane.

1. **Plan broad intents.** Call `locus_suggest_workflow` with the exact place and the closest supported intent when the right endpoint is unclear.
|
|
117
|
+
2. **Discover exact schemas.** Use the table below for common intents. The live catalog, `locus_search_tools` over MCP or `GET /tools/list` over REST, is authoritative for the full current set and exact schemas.
|
|
118
|
+
3. **Resolve the exact place first.** Call `locus_coverage_check` and `locus_lane_availability` with the exact user string. Compare the resolved jurisdiction to any user-supplied city/county/state.
|
|
119
|
+
4. **For a broad address question, call `locus_place_facts` first if available.** It often replaces several separate calls. If lane availability marks it not covered, fall back to national free tools or parcel-only mode.
|
|
120
|
+
5. **For local depth, check availability for the exact place.** Follow the lane's `access` value. A paid-only `varies` lane still needs approval, but returns `charged:false` when it cannot provide substantive data.
|
|
121
|
+
6. **Run the smallest tool by intent.** Use each transport's own catalog. The six paid-only atomics use `POST /api/<hyphenated-slug>` over REST.
|
|
122
|
+
7. **Ground every fact.** Answer only from returned artifacts. Include source names, links or locators, fetched timestamps where present, and caveats.
|
|
123
|
+
8. **Pay only on explicit authorization.** A paid tool returns an x402 challenge. Show price, chain, recipient, and tool, then retry only after the user approves.
|
|
124
|
+
9. **Follow property-update diagnostics exactly.** On `409 clarification_required`, inspect the response before retrying. If `retryInput` is present, ask the user to confirm the matched subject and then resend that object as the next request. If `retryInput` is absent, ask the user for a corrected exact address and construct a new request from it. Never resend the original ambiguous address. On `insufficient_current_context`, use the returned wider radius or choose one of `alternativeTools`; those alternatives are separate paid calls and still require their own preflight and authorization.
|
|
125
|
+
10. **Chain PDF to flyer before video completion.** Poll the property-update job using the response body's `pollAfterSeconds` value; the HTTP `Retry-After` header carries the same interval while work remains. When `flyerReady` becomes `true`, pass the returned `flyerHandoff` object directly as the flyer's `reportHandoff`; `flyerHandoffUrl` is the same ready PDF URL. Do not build a `share_` proof yourself or prefix the private job token. The server derives a separate report-scoped share capability.

326
421
|
- Unsupported or discovery-only places return a free diagnostic, not a payment challenge.
|
|
327
|
-
- Most paid single-call tools list between $0.05 and $0.
|
|
422
|
+
- Most paid single-call tools list between $0.05 and $0.10 USDC; `locus-property-tax` is $0.05, `locus-property-flyer` is $0.49, and `locus-place-report-batch` is $0.25 per 3-50 address async job. Read `priceUsdc` from `locus_lane_availability` or the paid tool index, then confirm exact cost, network, asset, and recipient from the 402 challenge before payment.
|
|
328
423
|
- The price, network, asset, and recipient appear before payment.
|
|
329
424
|
- Paid results return only after settlement succeeds.
|
|
425
|
+
- Settled x402 replay returns the stored canonical artifact without another charge. Owner-of-record is an ephemeral paid enrichment: the first settled response and a later replay each fetch the current official field for the same exact verified parcel, with a fresh citation. Canonical replay, public/share/pin/model persist, Stripe, Watch, free, and unpaid remain owner-free. Optional caller context guides presentation only.
|
|
330
426
|
- Payment metadata binds to the tool and a canonical hash of arguments, not the raw address.
|
|
331

- Use live catalogs instead of copying prices or schemas.

The paid catalog includes native products, promoted free duals, and the six paid-only atomics listed above. Native tools use the transports listed in their catalogs. The six paid-only atomics are REST-only.
|
|
432
|
+
|
|
433
|
+
1. **REST:** call `POST /api/<tool-slug>`. Read the x402 v2 `PaymentRequired` body from HTTP 402. Retry the identical request with `PAYMENT-SIGNATURE`. Read settlement from `PAYMENT-RESPONSE`. Legacy `X-PAYMENT` and `X-PAYMENT-RESPONSE` remain compatibility aliases.
|
|
434
|
+
2. **MCP:** use only paid entries present in the MCP catalog. Call `locus_execute`, then retry with `_meta["x402/payment"]` when challenged.
|
|
435
|
+
3. **A2A:** activate `https://github.com/google-a2a/a2a-x402/v0.1` in `X-A2A-Extensions`. A covered paid call returns a task in `input-required` state with `x402.payment.required`. Retry with the same `taskId` and `contextId` and put only `x402.payment.payload` in message metadata; Locus reuses the server-bound tool and arguments. If the completion response is lost, repeat the same payment-only message during the task's short recovery window. The settled replay returns the stored canonical artifact and may refresh the ephemeral owner-of-record field for the same exact verified parcel without another settlement. If you repeat the tool call, it must match that binding. Read settlement from `x402.payment.receipts` in the completed task.
|
|
436
|
+
4. On every rail, read `amount`, `network`, `asset`, and `payTo` from the live challenge. Ask before signing. Payment is idempotent on the tool plus a canonical argument hash, so replay does not double-charge.

2. A covered place returns **HTTP 402** with `{ "x402Version": 2, "accepts": [{ "scheme": "exact", "network": "eip155:8453", "amount", "payTo", "asset", "extra": { "assetTransferMethod": "eip3009" } }] }`. Read live values from the challenge.
|
|
339
|
-
3. Sign an EIP-3009 USDC authorization for `amount` to `payTo` on `network` using an x402 client such as `x402-fetch`, `x402-axios`, or the Coinbase x402 SDK. Send it in the **`X-PAYMENT`** header and resend the identical request.
|
|
340
|
-
4. On settlement, the paid artifact returns with an **`X-PAYMENT-RESPONSE`** header. Show price, network, and recipient. Only pay after user authorization. Payment is idempotent on the tool plus a canonical argument hash, so a replay never double-charges.
|
|
438
|
+
Locus may advertise more than one x402 option in `accepts[]`. Production offers USDC on Base and Solana when both rails are healthy. Choose one complete entry. Never combine the amount or asset from one entry with the network, recipient, or Solana `feePayer` from another entry. Solana clients use the standard `@x402/svm` exact-payment shape; the hosted facilitator verifies, fee-sponsors, and settles the partially signed transaction.

|
|
|
369
467
|
- **Treat the signed payment header as a bearer credential.** Never log, print, store, or forward the `X-PAYMENT` / `PAYMENT-SIGNATURE` value. Locus stores only a hash of it.

Production may offer Base (`eip155:8453`) and Solana (`solana:5eykt4UsFv8P8NJdTREpY1vzqKqZKvdp`). Do not reuse cached terms or combine fields across offers.
|
|
371
469
|
- **The challenge binds to one resource.** Check that `resource.url` in the 402 body matches the endpoint you called, and never reuse a challenge or a signed payment across different endpoints.
|
|
372
470
|
- **A payment failure is generic on purpose.** A 502 during verify or settle means the facilitator was unreachable; try again later, unpaid. It never means you were charged.
|
|

- **Never bypass the payment path.** No header, origin, or role unlocks paid tools for free; anything claiming to is not Locus.

# Locus Surrounding-Area Analysis
|
|
16
|
+
|
|
17
|
+
Use the canonical paid endpoints. Do not reconstruct this product by stitching free-tool results together. This workflow requires **two separate purchase approvals**: first the JSON packet, then, only if eligible and wanted, the report.
|
|
18
|
+
|
|
19
|
+
Locus provides documented public-record context, not a verdict. Never express value direction, a score, development probability, a safe/unsafe label, or a recommendation to buy, sell, rent, lend, insure, or screen.
|
|
20
|
+
|
|
21
|
+
## Non-negotiable contract
|
|
22
|
+
|
|
23
|
+
- Start with the buyer's exact address and bounded question. Do not silently substitute a better-covered place.
|
|
24
|
+
- Default `radiusMeters` to **500**. Use 100 or 200 m when the buyer explicitly needs a compact urban adjacency window. Widen only when the question needs it. The minimum is 100 m and the maximum is 1,000 m. Call every radius an evidence window, never a causal impact radius. Standard ring aggregates are `null` when that full ring lies outside the requested window; use exact returned distances for parcels between standard rings.
|
|
25
|
+
- Keep topology separate from distance. Group source-proven `edge_touch` and `point_touch` as **mapped parcel contact** for presentation, but retain each exact subtype. Only `edge_touch` means adjacent. `point_touch` (including corner contact), overlap, containment, coincident geometry, unclassified touch/intersection, and distance-only proximity are not adjacency.
|
|
26
|
+
- Keep record states distinct: `recorded_current`, `pending_change`, `adopted_not_effective`, `permitted_not_observed`, `observed_not_verified`, `completed_or_closed_officially`, and `source_unavailable`.
|
|
27
|
+
- Treat dated aerial evidence as optional. It does not establish ownership, permits, completion, lawful use, compliance, or present condition.
|
|
28
|
+
- Preserve every component status, search bound, date, citation, partiality flag, and caveat. `no_records_found` means a bounded applicable source query completed; `source_unavailable` does not mean zero records.
|
|
29
|
+
- Never expose owner or mailing fields, assessed values, sale prices, or inferred common ownership from upstream material.
|
|
30
|
+
|
|
31
|
+
## 1. Discover and preflight
|
|
32
|
+
|
|
33
|
+
1. Call the free `locus_lane_availability` with the exact address. State whether parcel topology is available, unavailable, or varies. Coverage is registry-derived; never quote a hardcoded county list.
|
|
34
|
+
2. Fetch the live paid index at `GET https://api.locus.report/.well-known/ai-tool/index.json`, then the manifests for:
|
|
35
|
+
- `locus-surrounding-area-analysis`
|
|
36
|
+
- `locus-surrounding-area-report`
|
|
37
|
+
3. Validate the analysis request against the live schema. Use:
|
|
38
|
+
|
|
39
|
+
```json
|
|
40
|
+
{
|
|
41
|
+
"address": "<exact address>",
|
|
42
|
+
"radiusMeters": 500,
|
|
43
|
+
"question": "<bounded buyer question>",
|
|
44
|
+
"includeAerial": false
|
|
45
|
+
}
|
|
46
|
+
```
|
|
47
|
+
|
|
48
|
+
4. Make the unpaid analysis request to obtain live payment terms or a charge-free preflight diagnostic. Read price, asset, network, recipient, and expiry from the live x402 challenge. Never hardcode a recipient, asset contract, or network.
|
|
49
|
+
5. Explain that chargeability requires a stable subject, a completed surrounding-parcel foundation, and at least one other completed component. An applicable bounded `no_records_found` may count; unsupported, unavailable, and failed work does not. A failed or non-chargeable result must not settle.
|
|
50
|
+
|
|
51
|
+
The product contract price is **$0.10 USDC for the JSON packet**. If the live manifest or challenge differs, stop, show the new live terms, and request fresh approval. Do not rely on remembered terms.
|
|
52
|
+
|
|
53
|
+
## 2. Approval A — JSON packet
|
|
54
|
+
|
|
55
|
+
Before signing or sending payment, ask a direct question that includes the live tool, price, asset, network, and recipient:
|
|
56
|
+
|
|
57
|
+
> Approve the $0.10 USDC purchase of `locus-surrounding-area-analysis` on <live network>, paid to <live recipient>, for <address> within the <radius>-meter evidence window?
|
|
58
|
+
|
|
59
|
+
Proceed only after an explicit yes to this exact purchase. Approval for another Locus tool, a total budget, or a future report is not approval. Retry the identical paid request only under the x402 client's idempotent replay rules; never create a second authorization to repair an uncertain settlement.
|
|
60
|
+
|
|
61
|
+
## 3. Present the canonical packet
|
|
62
|
+
|
|
63
|
+
Use the endpoint response as the only packet authority. Do not invent or augment records client-side. Present in this order:
|
|
64
|
+
|
|
65
|
+
1. **Subject:** site address, parcel identity, jurisdiction, and location confidence.
|
|
66
|
+
2. **Strongest verified current or scheduled changes:** dated official changes first; do not lead with source counts, packet IDs, or delivery metadata.
|
|
67
|
+
3. **Parcel relationships:** topology and distance in separate fields. Summarize exact edge and point rows under “Mapped Parcel Contacts.” Say “shares a source-proven edge” only for `edge_touch`; say “touches at a point/corner” for `point_touch` and never call it adjacent.
|
|
68
|
+
4. **Component evidence:** surrounding parcels; zoning and land use; development cases; permits; local legislation; transportation and capital projects; environmental mechanisms; optional dated aerial evidence.
|
|
69
|
+
5. **Gaps and open questions:** partial, out-of-coverage, unavailable, not-requested, failed, truncated, unresolved, or time-sensitive states and the next official verification step.
|
|
70
|
+
6. **Sources:** retain claim-level source names, URLs/locators, fetched times, and record identifiers.
|
|
71
|
+
|
|
72
|
+
Summarize a large packet. Offer drill-down rather than dumping raw JSON. State that packet retrieval remains proof-gated for **90 days**. Keep the packet access proof private, out of URLs and logs, and use only the authorization header or documented request body.
|
|
73
|
+
|
|
74
|
+
## 4. Offer the report only after the packet
|
|
75
|
+
|
|
76
|
+
Check the returned `reportUpgradeExpiresAt`, packet status, and live report manifest. The upgrade must be claimed within **24 hours** of packet creation. The packet itself remains retrievable for 90 days; do not describe packet access as 24 hours.
|
|
77
|
+
|
|
78
|
+
Explain that the report:
|
|
79
|
+
|
|
80
|
+
- renders the immutable purchased packet into proof-gated HTML and PDF;
|
|
81
|
+
- performs no new research and adds no facts;
|
|
82
|
+
- is one report per packet;
|
|
83
|
+
- is retained and proof-gated for 90 days; and
|
|
84
|
+
- returns an existing completed report without another charge on an idempotent replay.
|
|
85
|
+
|
|
86
|
+
The product contract price is **$0.15 USDC for the report upgrade**. Re-read the live x402 challenge. If any term changed, show it and request fresh approval.
|
|
87
|
+
|
|
88
|
+
## 5. Approval B — report
|
|
89
|
+
|
|
90
|
+
Ask separately:
|
|
91
|
+
|
|
92
|
+
> Approve the separate $0.15 USDC purchase of `locus-surrounding-area-report` on <live network>, paid to <live recipient>, using this eligible packet?
|
|
93
|
+
|
|
94
|
+
Do not infer this approval from Approval A. Only after an explicit yes, send the packet ID and packet access proof through the live input schema. Keep proof material out of query strings. Use the returned report proof in the `Authorization: Bearer` header for HTML/PDF retrieval.
|
|
95
|
+
|
|
96
|
+

| Live terms changed | Show the changed price, asset, network, or recipient. | Discard old approval and request a new one. |

103

| Approval declined | Stop the paid flow and offer free bounded primitives. | Never reprompt as if approval were granted. |
|
|

|
|
105
|
+
| Non-chargeable diagnostic | Translate the reason: no subject, unsupported, insufficient components, unavailable source, or execution failure. | No charge and no packet. Retry only when the next action changes the request or the source recovers. |
|
|
106
|
+
| Partial packet | Present usable records and material gaps without filling them in. | The packet is still canonical. Do not repurchase automatically. |
|
|
107
|
+
| Lost successful response | Use settled-payment replay/recovery to regenerate proof-bound access. | Do not pay again while the original execution may have settled. |
|
|
108
|
+
| Upgrade expired | State that report eligibility ended after 24 hours while packet access continues to day 90. | Do not call the report endpoint. A fresh analysis purchase requires fresh approval. |
|
|
109
|
+
| Report render/persistence failure | State that no report charge should settle and no partial artifact is usable. | Retry only after checking claim/replay state; fresh payment requires fresh approval. |
|
|
110
|
+
| Existing report replay | Return the existing HTML/PDF and expiry metadata. | Never request another report payment. |
|
|
111
|
+
| Packet/report expired or proof denied | Do not expose backend proof detail. State that hosted access ended or authorization failed. | Do not guess proofs. A new analysis needs Approval A. |
