{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}case_shiller_metro_compare — Compare Case-Shiller home price indices across multiple US metros in one call (the 20-city composite). For each metro returns latest level, 3-month change, 12-month change, all-time peak, drawdown from peak, and a softening flag. Output also ranks metros softest → strongest. Use for "which metros are softening", "Case-Shiller for [list of cities]", "compare housing prices in X, Y, Z" queries — picks the right per-metro FRED series IDs (DNXRSA, PHXRSA, TPXRSA, etc.) so callers don't have to. Available metros: Atlanta, Boston, Charlotte, Chicago, Cleveland, Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis, New York, Phoenix, Portland, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle, Tampa, Washington DC.housing_market_snapshot — Get national housing market overview: mortgage rates, housing starts, Case-Shiller index, unemployment, construction employment. Optionally add metro-level prices (e.g., "Denver", "Atlanta"). For comparing Case-Shiller across multiple metros use case_shiller_metro_compare instead.housing_property_report — Analyze a property by address and zip code. Returns valuation estimate, sales history, tax assessment, and detailed characteristics.housing_rental_analysis — Evaluate rental investment potential by address and zip code. Returns estimated rent, fair market rents, and CPI rent trends.housing_affordability_check — Check housing affordability in a market. Returns mortgage rate, median price, monthly payment, required income, and HUD limits. Optionally specify metro (e.g., "Denver").housing_employment_outlook — Assess labor market health for housing demand. Returns employment, construction jobs, residential building employment, unemployment rate, and job openings.housing_signal_scan — Scan 45+ housing indicators for anomalies and reversals. Flags unusual moves across rates, starts, sales, prices, wages, unemployment, and rent.housing_mortgage_history — Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey — weekly US mortgage rates back to 1971. Returns the latest snapshot, a time series for the requested window, and min/max/avg stats. Sourced from Freddie Mac directly (not FRED), ingested weekly by the Pipeworx data pipeline.housing_market_screen — Rank US metros for rental cash flow in ONE call — the "which markets are best for a landlord" view. Returns metros sorted by gross rent yield = (Zillow median monthly rent × 12) ÷ Zillow typical home value. No per-metro orchestration and no API key (Zillow data is Pipeworx-hosted). Use for "best/worst rental markets", "highest-yield metros", "where does rent go furthest vs. home prices". Tune with direction (top = highest yield / best cash flow, bottom = lowest), limit, and optional home-value bounds.housing_metro_demand — Demand + rent-durability signals for a shortlist of US metros in ONE call — population & 5-year growth, renter share, median household income, and unemployment, straight from Census ACS. Deterministic by metro (CBSA-keyed) — NO FRED series-ID guessing. Pass `metros` ("City, ST", e.g. the top results from housing_market_screen). This is the Stage-2 "is the demand real?" filter on a yield shortlist — high yield in a shrinking metro is a trap. No API key needed.Code samples (curl / TypeScript / one-click client install), schemas, and the live playground are on the pack page:
