Tool changes

No tool definition changes recorded. A server's first observation is its baseline; later probes record what changes.

Checks run on what our credential-free, read-only probes observe; tools are never called and no code audit is performed. How it is computed.

Tools (8)

create_dashboardCreate a shareable dashboard. Returns {id, token} — the token grants write access via PUT /api/dashboards, so save it.
get_crime_yearread-onlyFull-year VPD crime data: totals and ranked neighbourhood stats. Vancouver only, 2003-present.
get_dashboardread-onlyRead a saved dashboard by id (shareable, read-only).
get_incidentsread-onlyMerged live incidents from all feeds plus manual reports. Filter by region key, category, group, severity, source, or bbox. Results come from a shared ~15-minute snapshot; real-time refresh requires an API key with that entitlement (details: cityalert.live/developers).
get_newsread-onlyPer-region safety news items, or news for an arbitrary place name.
get_trendsread-onlyHistorical aggregates: VPD crime by year/month/type (6y), USGS M4+ quakes per region (10y), GDACS global events (3y), report and live snapshot stats. Use for questions about patterns over time — crime trends, quake frequency, disaster cadence. For what's happening right now, use get_incidents.
list_regionsread-onlyList CityAlert focus regions (key, label, center, zoom, bbox). Use region keys with get_incidents.
submit_reportFile a manual geolocated incident report (same as POST /api/reports). Reports are moderated before they appear publicly. Errors: 'report submission disabled' if the caller is blocked; 'rate limited' past 20 reports/hour via MCP.

Schemas: list_tools.
