Auth

Capabilities every tool inherits

The same backbone on every call.

Every tool returns the same shape, with the same provenance, the same guarantees. You don't reason about which tool gives you what — the underlying contract is consistent.

Provenance

Source-linked, every value.

Every parameter ships with a _meta.source_url pointing at the planning scheme clause.

Confidence

Three tags. No theatre.

verified_schedule, verified_vpp_default, unverified_vpp_default. You always know what to trust.

Underwrite

Wrong-zone guarantee.

Free credit + 10 bonus + public dataset correction. Every claim becomes a permanent improvement.

Across the network

Same eight tools. Seven states.

All eight tools work across the full coverage area, not just VIC. Schedule-deep where the data permits (VIC); state-API-deep elsewhere.
