Available tools 5

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

crime

crime_compare

Compare incident stats (by category, violent vs property, hour, weekday, 90-day trend) for 2-5 points with the same radius.

crime_coverage

Covered cities, data source, licence and freshness.

crime_incidents

Recent police-reported incidents near a point in covered US cities, newest first.

crime_score

Safety score 0-100 (higher = fewer incidents) and A-F grade for a point: incident density percentile against sampled occupied-area cells of the city (same radius) over its last 12 months. Not a prediction of personal risk; not comparable across cities. Outside covered cities it returns coverage "city_fallback": the city's FBI city-wide violent/property rates per 100k and national percentiles, no grade. May include a "tract" block: 2020 Census tract population and incidents per 1,000 estimated residents in the radius per year (tract residents only, so commercial and nightlife areas overstate risk).

crime_stats

Incident counts by category and by month near a point.
