    • 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
    Batch-checks up to 50 properties (by id or postcode) against Minimum Energy Efficiency Standard (MEES) 2030 thresholds and flags expired certificates. Use for landlord portfolio compliance sweeps.

    Description, as the server wrote it
    Housedata PRISM score: identifies where a property's features (extensions, conversions, floor-area changes) lack a corresponding planning/building-control record, with remediation paths. Requires an active HouseData API key — if the account is not entitled, the error explains how to upgrade.

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.
