## Tools
- search_zips - Find ZIP codes matching one or more criteria. Returns a ranked list with
        scores. Use this first when the user wants recommendations (e.g. "find a
        low-crime suburb near Denver"). Call get_search_fields first if you're
        unsure what field names to use.

        criteria: list of {"field": str, "level": "low"|"medium"|"high"}
        area_types: "CITY" | "SUBURB" | "SMALL_TOWN" | "RURAL"
        regions: "northeast" | "southeast" | "midwest" | "southwest" | "west"
         Endpoint: https://mcp.zipexplore.com/mcp
- get_zip_profile - Full location profile for one ZIP code across all 12 data domains:
        demographics, climate, tax, crime, cost of living, voting, education,
        healthcare, business, air quality, disaster risk, and transit. Use this
        to get detail on a ZIP after search, or when the user asks about a
        specific ZIP. For deeper data on one domain, use the domain-specific tools.
