Every change recorded for this component, newest first. Days that predate change tracking, or that we cannot explain, say so: "we were watching and nothing happened" and "we were not watching" are different claims.

### 2026-08-03 (score 70, +1)

Check the GeoData Placefinder API status. Returns server status, version, uptime in seconds, and the number of place records loaded in the local cache.

### `search_places` (~228 tokens)

Search for places by name, address, city, postcode, or category. Returns geographic coordinates and place details from the Overture Maps dataset. Use the free-form 'q' parameter for natural language queries, or combine structured fields (name, city, postcode, type) for precise filtering.

Input parameters:

- `city` (string): City or locality (e.g. "London", "New York").
- `limit` (number): Maximum number of results to return (1–20). Default: 5.
- `name` (string): Place or business name (e.g. "Hilton", "McDonald's").
- `postcode` (string): Postal or ZIP code (e.g. "75001", "SW1A 1AA").
- `q` (string): Free-form search string — any combination of name, address, city, or category (e.g. "Eiffel Tower Paris", "cafe New York", "123 Main St London").
- `type` (string): Place category (e.g. "cafe", "restaurant", "hotel", "museum", "hospital").

### `reverse_geocode` (~114 tokens)

Convert geographic coordinates (latitude/longitude) into the nearest human-readable place names and addresses. Useful for answering 'what is near this location?' or 'what is the address of these coordinates?'

Input parameters:

- `lat` (number, required): Latitude in decimal degrees (WGS84), e.g. 48.8584.
- `limit` (number): Maximum number of results to return. Default: 5.
- `lon` (number, required): Longitude in decimal degrees (WGS84), e.g. 2.2945.

### `find_nearest_place` (~107 tokens)

Find the single closest place to a given coordinate within a configurable radius. Optionally filter by name to find the nearest matching business or landmark.

Input parameters:

- `lat` (number, required): Latitude in decimal degrees (WGS84).
- `lon` (number, required): Longitude in decimal degrees (WGS84).
- `max_distance_m` (number): Search radius in metres. Default: 5000.
- `name` (string): Optional name filter — only return a place whose name contains this string.

### `get_place_by_id` (~105 tokens)

Get the full Overture Maps record for a single place by its ID. Returns all available fields: names, addresses, coordinates, confidence score, categories, websites, phones, social profiles, emails, and brand. Place IDs are returned by the search_places, reverse_geocode, and find_nearest_place tools.

Input parameters:

- `id` (string, required): Overture place identifier (format: "overture:place:<uuid>"), returned in the id field of any search result.
