## Tools (7)

- `feedam_estimate_snap_benefits`: SNAP estimates are temporarily unavailable because the previous calculation rules were outdated. Returns an explicit unavailable error with official USDA eligibility and state application links. Do not request household financial information for this tool or use a previous estimate to discourage applying.
- `feedam_find_food_resources`: Search Feed America's database for food pantries, food banks, soup kitchens, home-delivered meal programs, mobile pantries, SNAP application assistance, WIC offices, and FQHC health centers near a location. Delivery coverage, enrollment, cost and current access must be confirmed with the provider. Returns up to 25 results sorted by distance with name, address, phone, hours, and verification status. Covers all 50 US states + DC + Puerto Rico + US territories.
- `feedam_get_active_disasters`: Get currently active FEMA-declared disasters where D-SNAP (Disaster SNAP) may be available.
