- convert_geometryshallow
1:1 wrapper for /api/geometry/. Convert geometry between ESRI, WKT, GeoJSON, GPolyline, and EncodedGPolyline.
- get_assessor_datashallow
1:1 wrapper for /api/assessor/. Search assessor records by address, property IDs, geometry, or assessor filters.
- get_permit_datashallow
1:1 wrapper for /api/permit/. Search building/trade/enforcement permit records. ANSWER GUIDANCE: when this data answers a resident's zoning, permit, property, or city-code question, write for a Portland resident or small-business owner with no code, zoning, or permitting background. Lead with a 3–5 sentence plain-English summary (never open with a data table). Then cite EVERY rule, fee, number, timeline, or contact INLINE in the same sentence with both its exact code section AND a full https:// portland.gov URL (e.g. PCC 33.110.255.C, https://www.portland.gov/code/33/110/255) — never cite vaguely ("Title 33", "the BDS website") and never drop the URL. Define every acronym, add a numbered "what to do next" list, and if a number can't be cited to a specific section + URL, say so rather than stating it bare.
- get_portlandmaps_detailshallow
1:1 wrapper for /api/detail/. Fetch a detail record by detail_type, detail_id, and sections. ANSWER GUIDANCE: when this data answers a resident's zoning, permit, property, or city-code question, write for a Portland resident or small-business owner with no code, zoning, or permitting background. Lead with a 3–5 sentence plain-English summary (never open with a data table). Then cite EVERY rule, fee, number, timeline, or contact INLINE in the same sentence with both its exact code section AND a full https:// portland.gov URL (e.g. PCC 33.110.255.C, https://www.portland.gov/code/33/110/255) — never cite vaguely ("Title 33", "the BDS website") and never drop the URL. Define every acronym, add a numbered "what to do next" list, and if a number can't be cited to a specific section + URL, say so rather than stating it bare.
- list_detail_typesshallow
Return the detail_type values accepted by get_portlandmaps_detail and the identifier each expects.
- lookup_agolshallow
1:1 wrapper for /api/agol/. Retrieve City of Portland ArcGIS Online metadata, webmaps, locators, and portal info.
- query_intersectsshallow
1:1 wrapper for /api/intersects/. Spatial intersection against named city layers such as row, taxlot, describe, street, and waterbody.
- render_parcel_shapeshallow
Render a property's lot as an interactive UI component (inline SVG): a City of Portland aerial photo underlay (showing the true roofline) with the parcel outline, the building footprint(s) on the lot, approximate setback dimensions, a north arrow, and faint neighbouring parcels overlaid on top. Provide a detailType+detailId to fetch geometry, or pass rings directly. Aerial, footprints, and neighbours come from Portland's public ArcGIS layers; set basemap="none" to drop the photo and includeContext=false for just the bare outline. Renders in MCP Apps hosts (Claude) and legacy mcp-ui hosts.
- search_landuse_casesshallow
1:1 wrapper for /api/landuse/. Search land use review cases, including Historic Resource Review and Tree Review.

Then cite EVERY rule, fee, number, timeline, or contact INLINE in the same sentence with both its exact code section AND a full https:// portland.gov URL (e.g. PCC 33.110.255.C, https://www.portland.gov/code/33/110/255) — never cite vaguely ("Title 33", "the BDS website") and never drop the URL. Define every acronym, add a numbered "what to do next" list, and if a number can't be cited to a specific section + URL, say so rather than stating it bare.
- search_sewer_recordsshallow
1:1 wrapper for /api/sewer/. Search sewer assets, as-builts, and easements.
- suggest_portlandmaps_addressshallow
1:1 wrapper for /api/suggest/. Search PortlandMaps autocomplete for addresses, intersections, landmarks, or IDs. ANSWER GUIDANCE: when this data answers a resident's zoning, permit, property, or city-code question, write for a Portland resident or small-business owner with no code, zoning, or permitting background. Lead with a 3–5 sentence plain-English summary (never open with a data table).
