Why screen_parcel_dd needs a policy

This tool retrieves/queries external public data sources (FEMA NFHL and USFWS NWI) to screen a parcel for flood zone and wetland flags. It has no side effects — it reads and returns data only. Severity is medium because misclassification of a parcel (false clean result) could lead to a poor real estate investment decision, but the tool itself causes no direct harm and explicitly warns of its limitations.

Questions about screen_parcel_dd

What does the screen_parcel_dd tool do? +

Pre-screen a land parcel's location for the AUTOMATABLE due-diligence red flags: FEMA flood zone and federal wetlands. Pulls live from FEMA's National Flood Hazard Layer and the US Fish & Wildlife National Wetlands Inventory. Use this to kill obviously-bad parcels (flood zone, wetlands) at scale BEFORE spending time on manual due diligence. IMPORTANT: Checks flood + wetlands only. It does NOT check legal ACCESS (landlocked — the #1 land deal-killer), title/liens, or zoning — those stay MANUAL, per-parcel checks via county records. A clean screen here is necessary, NOT sufficient. It is categorised as a Read tool in the CRE Intelligence MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
