  Historical aggregates: VPD crime by year/month/type (6y), USGS M4+ quakes per region (10y), GDACS global events (3y), report and live snapshot stats. Use for questions about patterns over time — crime trends, quake frequency, disaster cadence. For what's happening right now, use…

• get_crime_year

  Full-year VPD crime data: totals and ranked neighbourhood stats. Vancouver only, 2003-present.

• get_news

  Per-region safety news items, or news for an arbitrary place name.

• submit_report

  File a manual geolocated incident report (same as POST /api/reports). Reports are moderated before they appear publicly. Errors: 'report submission disabled' if the caller is blocked; 'rate limited' past 20 reports/hour via MCP.

• get_dashboard

  Read a saved dashboard by id (shareable, read-only).

• create_dashboard
