# fema_nfhl_get_inventory_item Get one self-hosted FEMA NFHL inventory unit by exact DFIRM ID. Returns jurisdiction, state, coverage-unit kind, package update date, advertised size, filename, canonical FEMA download URL, and immutable provenance. Use this to produce acquisition evidence after search. It does not fetch or inspect the geodatabase; use flood_zone_lookup for address/coordinate zone questions.

HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-blackboxfoundry-livedatalink/fema-nfhl-get-inventory-item ## Facts - Tool: `fema_nfhl_get_inventory_item` - Server: Livedatalink (`https://livedatalink.ai/mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-blackboxfoundry-livedatalink.md - Homepage: https://github.com/blackboxfoundry/livedatalink - Risk category: Read (Low risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server auth posture: open - Server CORS policy: * - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 2 (1 required) - Recommended policy verdict: Allowed ## Parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `dfirm_id` | string | yes | Exact six-character FEMA DFIRM ID, optionally suffixed -NFHL. | | `response_format` | string | no | Human-readable markdown or machine-readable JSON. Default markdown. | Parameters from the server's own tool schema. ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "fema_nfhl_get_inventory_item", "arguments": { "dfirm_id": "" } } } ``` ## Why fema_nfhl_get_inventory_item is rated Low Even though fema_nfhl_get_inventory_item only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing. ## Use case AI agents call fema_nfhl_get_inventory_item to retrieve information from Livedatalink without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Livedatalink: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "fema_nfhl_get_inventory_item": {} } } ``` ## Other tools on Livedatalink (380) - `beneficial_owner_screen` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-blackboxfoundry-livedatalink/beneficial-owner-screen.md - `bea_state_economic_profile` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-blackboxfoundry-livedatalink/bea-state-economic-profile.md - `bts_transport_border_activity_pack` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-blackboxfoundry-livedatalink/bts-transport-border-activity-pack.md - `cftc_cot_evidence_pack` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-blackboxfoundry-livedatalink/cftc-cot-evidence-pack.md - `clinical_site_selector` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-blackboxfoundry-livedatalink/clinical-site-selector.md - `edgar_recent_filings` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-blackboxfoundry-livedatalink/edgar-recent-filings.md - `entity_dossier` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-blackboxfoundry-livedatalink/entity-dossier.md - `fed_board_h15_evidence_pack` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-blackboxfoundry-livedatalink/fed-board-h15-evidence-pack.md - `fed_board_h15_yield_curve` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-blackboxfoundry-livedatalink/fed-board-h15-yield-curve.md - `govinfo_legislation_committee_path` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-blackboxfoundry-livedatalink/govinfo-legislation-committee-path.md - `govinfo_legislation_evidence_pack` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-blackboxfoundry-livedatalink/govinfo-legislation-evidence-pack.md - `patent_recent` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-blackboxfoundry-livedatalink/patent-recent.md - `treasury_tic_official_share` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-blackboxfoundry-livedatalink/treasury-tic-official-share.md - `trials_details` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-blackboxfoundry-livedatalink/trials-details.md - `usda_nass_crop_evidence_pack` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-blackboxfoundry-livedatalink/usda-nass-crop-evidence-pack.md - `affordable_housing_refinance_evidence_pack` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-blackboxfoundry-livedatalink/affordable-housing-refinance-evidence-pack.md - `air_quality` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-blackboxfoundry-livedatalink/air-quality.md - `bank_health_report` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-blackboxfoundry-livedatalink/bank-health-report.md - `bea_compare_states` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-blackboxfoundry-livedatalink/bea-compare-states.md - `bea_search_state_indicators` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-blackboxfoundry-livedatalink/bea-search-state-indicators.md - `bea_state_economic_trend` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-blackboxfoundry-livedatalink/bea-state-economic-trend.md - `bls_indicator` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-blackboxfoundry-livedatalink/bls-indicator.md - `bls_series` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-blackboxfoundry-livedatalink/bls-series.md - `book_details` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-blackboxfoundry-livedatalink/book-details.md - `book_fulltext_search` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-blackboxfoundry-livedatalink/book-fulltext-search.md - `book_get_text` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-blackboxfoundry-livedatalink/book-get-text.md - `book_search` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-blackboxfoundry-livedatalink/book-search.md - `book_status` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-blackboxfoundry-livedatalink/book-status.md - `bounce_scanner` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-blackboxfoundry-livedatalink/bounce-scanner.md - `bts_transport_border_trend` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-blackboxfoundry-livedatalink/bts-transport-border-trend.md - …and 350 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-blackboxfoundry-livedatalink.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
