Each result carries `verdict` — required / exempt / depends / unknown — computed from the jurisdiction's own thresholds, the parcel's overlays (when `address` is given) and the `facts` you pass; when it is `depends`, `verdict.questions` names the facts to ask the homeowner and pass back. `requires params: projectType, location, address, deckHeightAboveGradeIn, deckOverStoryBelow, deckOnAccessibleRoute, guardRunLengthFt, facts, limit |

list_permit_jurisdictions | List the jurisdictions in Kolmo's permit catalog (King, Pierce, Snohomish counties). Compact by default — `results` is keyed by county (King / Pierce / Snohomish), each a list of {slug, name, verified} — the whole catalogue in one call (~4K tokens), enough to pick a jurisdictionSlug for estimate_permit_fee, check_permit_requirements or get_permit_rule_details. Pass `slug` for one jurisdiction's fu params: county, slug, verifiedOnly, detail |
lookup_parcel_by_address | Address-first parcel lookup powering the /permits experience.

answer_permit_question | Grounded permit Q&A for a specific Seattle-area address. Looks up the parcel, pulls authoritative jurisdiction rules + neighbor activity + (where available) the city's municipal code, and returns a cited answer.

Use for natural-language permit questions like "do I need a permit for a 6 ft fence at params: address*, question* |

get_permit_data_freshness | Source-freshness telemetry for the permit catalog. Returns per-jurisdiction last-verified dates, a per-jurisdiction source-health rollup (which cities have a reachable / gone / blocked official source right now), and the latest results from the weekly source-of-truth snapshot pipeline (HTTP status, change-detection vs prior fetch). Failures are classified: `missing` means the page is gone, `blocke params: jurisdictionSlug, limit |

get_neighborhood_project_activity | See what remodeling projects Kolmo Construction has completed in a specific Seattle neighborhood or city.
