get_permit_data

1:1 wrapper for /api/permit/. Search building/trade/enforcement permit records. ANSWER GUIDANCE: when this data answers a resident's zoning, permit, property, or city-code question, write for a Portland resident or small-business owner with no code, zoning, or permitting background. Lead with a 3–5 sentence plain-English summary (never open with a data table). Then cite EVERY rule, fee, number, timeline, or contact INLINE in the same sentence with both its exact code section AND a full https:// portland.gov URL (e.g. PCC 33.110.255.C, https://www.portland.gov/code/33/110/255) — never cite vaguely ("Title 33", "the BDS website") and never drop the URL. Define every acronym, add a numbered "what to do next" list, and if a number can't be cited to a specific section + URL, say so rather than stating it bare.

render_parcel_shape

Render a property's lot as an interactive UI component (inline SVG): a City of Portland aerial photo underlay (showing the true roofline) with the parcel outline, the building footprint(s) on the lot, approximate setback dimensions, a north arrow, and faint neighbouring parcels overlaid on top. Provide a detailType+detailId to fetch geometry, or pass rings directly. Aerial, footprints, and neighbours come from Portland's public ArcGIS layers; set basemap="none" to drop the photo and includeContext=false for just the bare outline. Renders in MCP Apps hosts (Claude) and legacy mcp-ui hosts.

read-only

Argument	Type	Description
rings	array	Web Mercator (EPSG:3857) parcel rings, e.g. geometry.rings. Bypasses fetching.
title	string	Caption shown on the component.
basemap	string	Aerial photo underlay (true rooflines). 'aerial' fetches a City of Portland image; 'none' renders dark vectors only.
detailId	string	detail_id used to fetch geometry when rings are not supplied.
detailType	string	detail_type used to fetch geometry when rings are not supplied.
includeContext	boolean	Overlay building footprints, setbacks, and neighbouring parcels. Set false for just the lot outline.
