What it can do
| Tool | What it says it does |
|---|---|
assess_listing | Check one listing the user found against local evidence: asking price vs the same home type's recorded £/m² (with floor area or a bedroom-based ballpark) or median price, the LSOA then its MSOA (all types only as indicative-only), typicalPrice, a flood line, turnover, growth, the local authority's… |
build_watch_spec | Turn a finished search into a watch: portal searches per postcode district, filters, a state file path for de-duplication and a ready prompt for a scheduled task in the user's Claude that reports only new listings. Stateless: nothing is stored on Close Knit. |
describe_data | The map of Close Knit's data; call it first, and whenever you are unsure of a metric, path or category name. No arguments: a summary (themes with metric counts and 2-3 headline metrics, Census in one line, places in one line, the entity kinds). theme='crime' lists that theme's metrics: unit… |
evaluate_custom_criterion | Moved: use query(saved: "custom:<preset>"). Answers until 2026-11-30. |
find_areas | Shortlist neighbourhoods in England (London in depth) for a household: budget, bedrooms, weighted priorities (crime, station access, price level, official deprivation decile, noise, disorder, energy rating, leasehold share, good primaries) and optional stations or local authorities to live near… |
find_similar_areas | Neighbourhoods like one the user liked (crime, deprivation, income, price level and station access percentiles), optionally only cheaper ones (cheaper_by_percent lower £/m², crime no more than 10 points worse) and within max_budget for bedrooms: 'like this but cheaper / elsewhere'. |
get | Everything about 1-10 things by typed id: uk:lsoa:E01…, uk:msoa:E02…, uk:lad:E09…, uk:rgn:E12…, sector:e17-4, pc:E17 4PP, uprn:<digits>, school:<URN>, place:osm:n123 (search_places finds ids from names), or a guide article, guide:crime, in a call of its own (describe_data(kind: 'guide') lists… |
get_address_history | Moved: use get(["uprn:…"], select: ["history"]). Answers until 2026-11-30. |
get_area_evidence_pack | Moved: use get([id], sections: ["pack"]). Answers until 2026-11-30. |
get_area_metric | Moved: use get([id], select: ["layers.<metric>"]). Answers until 2026-11-30. |
get_area_overview | Moved: use get([id]). Answers until 2026-11-30. |
get_commute | Door-to-door minutes from one neighbourhood to the user's places on a weekday morning, by public transport (R5 on TfL timetables), bike (at the speed Santander Cycles riders reach; checked against TfL), car (typical morning traffic, no parking) and walking, each with a range. Places within 1.5 km… |
get_flood_risk | Moved: use get([pc | uprn | id], select: ["flood"]). Answers until 2026-11-30. |
get_home_prices | Moved: use get(["uprn:…"]). Answers until 2026-11-30. |
get_listing_search_links | Pre-filtered searches on Rightmove, Zoopla, OnTheMarket (and OpenRent for rentals) for the postcode districts of shortlisted areas, filtered by bedrooms, price and property_type (house, flat, bungalow). Links only: open them on the user's behalf to read listings; Close Knit itself never fetches or… |
get_market_depth | Moved: use get([id], select: ["market"]). Answers until 2026-11-30. |
get_nearby_sales_summary | Moved: use get(["uprn:…"], select: ["nearby-sales"]). Answers until 2026-11-30. |
get_places | The places themselves (2.58 m: shops, gyms, cafes, parks, pubs, GPs, ... in 234 categories) near a typed id or {lat, lon} (radius_m 100-3000) or inside an area, by category (describe_data(kind: 'place') lists them) and brand (PureGym, Waitrose). Each: name, category, brand, metres, walk minutes… |
get_rent_levels | Moved: use get([id], select: ["rents"]). Answers until 2026-11-30. |
list_custom_presets | Moved: use describe_data(kind: "custom"). Answers until 2026-11-30. |
list_metrics | Moved: use describe_data(). Answers until 2026-11-30. |
list_school_measures | Moved: use describe_data(kind: "school"). Answers until 2026-11-30. |
match_areas | Score every area against a household's ordered criteria (preference-profile.v2: budget, ranges on any map layer, places, where zones, own criteria; must = filter). Returns a match-pack.v2 with the best top_n (default 20, max 100) areas as a list with score, rank and percentile per area, its top 2… |
open_shared_search | Open a search the user shared from the Close Knit site (a link with #profile=v1., v2. or v3.): their budget, priorities, places (gym, work, schools…), liked and ruled-out areas and private notes, re-ranked now with the same shortlist as find_areas. Use it when the user pastes such a link or says… |
query | Analyse many areas or schools with a JSON query (never SQL). kind='area' (default): level lsoa, msoa, lad or rgn; scope england, london, a region or typed area ids; filters by value {metric, min, max}, percentile in scope {metric, pct_min}, vs the scope's reference {metric, vs: above}, change over… |

rank_schools | Moved: use query(kind: "school"). Answers until 2026-11-30. |
rate_answer | Rate a Close Knit answer by its callId (none: the last answer): rating 1-5, what was good, what was bad or missing, the fix you would want. Use it for the last answer in a conversation; earlier ones go in the next call's rate_previous. It describes the answer, never the user. Stored for 90 days… |
search_areas | Moved: use search_places(q). Answers until 2026-11-30. |
search_places | Resolve a place the user mentions (station, borough, neighbourhood, postcode, street) to ids. Station lookup forgives spelling (Kings Cross, St James Park, Elephant and Castle) and knows London codes and nicknames (KX, TCR, LST, E&C, ally pally). Returns stations (osm:…, with TfL modes, lines and… |
send_feedback | Send feedback about Close Knit to the team: a bug, missing or wrong data, an idea, or what worked. Call it only after the user agrees: show them the message first. Describe the product and what happened, never the person: no names, contact details, addresses, family, budget or other personal… |
