    Why it is in this group

    • Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
    • The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Area facts for a postcode in England, when no particular home is given (for a specific address use run_free_check): the average private rent for the council (ONS), Local Housing Allowance rates, whether a council property licensing scheme covers the area, flood risk and the nearest stations. Use it when someone is renting, viewing or about to sign for a home in England and gives a postcode. Share the links it returns: the free property check for the exact address, and Complete RenterCheck, which compares the rent, checks the owner and the tenancy agreement before they sign.

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "run_free_check" says "run": a word for a change.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Runs the free RenterCheck on one home to rent in England, as on rentercheck.co.uk: energy certificate, flood and planning designations, recorded crime nearby and sale history. Returns the findings, a link to the free report, and a link to Complete RenterCheck for the same home (rent comparison, owner, costs, deposit limits, tenancy agreement check). Give the postcode with either an address_id from find_addresses or the house number or name; if more than one home matches it returns the choices to ask about. Include the monthly rent if the renter knows it.

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "find_addresses" says "find": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Lists the homes at a postcode in England, each with an address_id for run_free_check. Pass house_number_or_name to narrow a long list. Use it when the renter has given a postcode but not which home.

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.
