Available Tools

ToolDescription
find_stations_near_addressFind the nearest facilities to a US street address
find_stations_near_coordinatesSame, but from a lat/lng (skips geocoding)
get_stationFull record for one facility by ID
list_stationsList/search facilities by type, state, name, or ZIP
get_jurisdictionWhich city/town (or county, if unincorporated) contains a location, and which agencies of one type likely serve it
get_state_summaryFacility counts by type for a state

Facility types: fire, police, ems, hospital.

Examples

Once configured, you can ask your AI assistant:

"What's the closest fire station to 350 Fifth Ave, New York?"

"How many hospitals are in Montana, and which have trauma centers?"

"I'm building an emergency-response app — find every police and fire station within 5 miles of downtown Austin."

The assistant calls the matching tool and gets structured JSON back — addresses, phone numbers, coordinates, and for hospitals, beds, trauma level, and ownership.
