Locus Agent Capabilities

Use this skill to connect an agent to Locus when a place-based workflow needs local-government context: taxes, parcels, zoning, flood, environmental records, development activity, transportation projects, local policy, source coverage, or recurring monitoring. The fuller client guide is docs/AGENT_CAPABILITIES.md.

Locus returns awareness and verification steps, not a verdict. Do not score, rank, predict, screen, value, or label a person, property, block, or neighborhood as safe/unsafe.

What to remember first

• 19 national tools work for any US address, for free, with no payment or coverage check needed. Use them for rural addresses too, including flood zone, flood gauges, FEMA events, NOAA storms, radon, wildfire risk, cleanup sites, toxic releases, water systems, representatives, governing districts, fair-market rents, nearby places, ordinance leads, and data-center/source-discovery prompts.
• 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.
• 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.
• Use locus_lane_availability before paid calls. It maps national, local, varies, not-covered, and degraded lanes, then gives per-paid-tool buy recommendations.
• Paid tools usually range from about $0.10 to $0.25 USDC per call today. The live paid catalog and x402 challenge are authoritative for exact price, chain, recipient, and schema.
