Tools

• fcc_compare_areas ~625 tokens
  Compares broadband coverage metrics across multiple geographies of the same type and returns a ranked table sorted by unserved or underserved population.

• fcc_find_underserved ~707 tokens
  Finds geographic areas with limited or no broadband coverage at a given speed threshold, ranked by unserved population. The core tool for BEAD program analysis and broadband equity research. Accepts a state abbreviation to narrow scope or runs nationwide. Defaults to rural areas where underservice i
• fcc_geocode_block ~346 tokens
  Converts a latitude/longitude coordinate to a 15-digit census block FIPS code, plus county FIPS, county name, state FIPS, state code, and state name. This is the required prerequisite for fcc_search_availability since the broadband dataset is indexed by census block, not address. The block is resolv
• fcc_get_coverage_summary ~703 tokens
  Returns a broadband coverage summary for a geography — population with zero, one, two, or three-plus providers at a given speed threshold, split by urban/rural and tribal/non-tribal segments. The primary tool for digital divide and equity analysis. Supports state, county, congressional district, cen
• fcc_get_provider ~226 tokens
  Returns a national-level coverage profile for a specific holding company (by hoconum): technologies deployed and the population covered at each download speed tier.

• fcc_search_availability ~530 tokens
  Queries broadband providers and advertised speeds at a census block from FCC Form 477 data (as of June 2021). Answers "which ISPs serve this location and what speeds do they offer?" — the core tool for address-level broadband lookup. Requires a 15-digit census block FIPS code; use fcc_geocode_block
• fcc_search_geographies ~393 tokens
  Find census places and CBSAs (metro areas) by case-insensitive literal name substring in the 2021 FCC geography lookup. Keep ambiguous matches distinct and choose the geography_type and geography_id to pass to fcc_get_coverage_summary. Include a location qualifier in name to narrow results; CBSA cod
• fcc_search_providers ~843 tokens
  Searches for ISPs by holding company name, filtered by state and technology type. Returns a deduplicated list of matching providers with hoconum identifiers for follow-up calls to fcc_get_provider.
