Calling the tools

Steps name each operation as source/operation (e.g. ppr/ppr_price_stats), using the typed tool name as the operation. On the default surface, run it with ireland_call, for example:

{ "source": "cross", "operation": "ireland_snapshot", "args": { "place": "Athlone" } }

If an argument shape is unclear, call ireland_describe with { "source", "operation" } first; it returns the schema and an example. search, fetch and nearby are top-level tools. If the server was added with ?toolsets=<ids> or ?toolsets=all, the typed tool (e.g. ireland_snapshot) can be called directly with the same args.

Steps

1. Resolve the place.
   • County or large town: call cross/ireland_snapshot with { "place": "Athlone" }. It returns county, census population, boundaries, forecast and national warnings in one call.
   • Exact point (lat/lon, or the place is not in the built-in list): call cross/nearby with { "lat": 53.27, "lon": -9.05 }, or geohive/geohive_boundaries_at_point for boundaries only.
   • If the snapshot says the place is not found, ask for a nearby town or coordinates. Do not guess.
2. Population. Call cso/cso_area_profile with { "area": "<county>", "years": ["2016", "2022"] } to show change between censuses (Dublin may be split; use the label returned). For a town, pass { "area": "<town>" } to get Census 2022 town figures (F1015, no change); say which level you used.
3. Boundaries. Report county, local authority, Dáil constituency, electoral division and small area from the GeoHive block. For other layers, use geohive/geohive_list_layers then geohive/geohive_query_layer.
4. House prices. Call ppr/ppr_price_stats with { "county": "<county>", "from": "<12 months ago>" }. Narrow with address (a town word) or eircode (routing key such as "H91"). Keep from–to within 3 years. See the house-price-check skill for caveats.
5. Weather. Use the forecast and warnings from step 1, or met-eireann/met_get_forecast and met-eireann/met_get_warnings.
6. Optional extras, only if asked: TDs for the constituency via oireachtas/oireachtas_search_members with { "constituency": "<name>" }; transport via the commute-weather skill.
