Part of these workflows
This tool is one step in a curated multi-tool workflow - agents can fetch the whole sequence as an MCP prompt or call https://agent402.tools/api/skill-packs/{slug}/prompt.
- Location intel - Point at an address (or even a rough place name) and assemble the situational brief: precise coordinates, the canonical postal address, what's within walking distance, the live weather forecast, active NWS hazard alerts, and recent seismic activity. The deterministic 'what should I know about this place right now?' workup.
