Tools

Tool	What it does
list_capabilities	What Ridge Pack can do. Lists Ridge Pack's tools, what it covers (nations, roof shapes, coverings, job types) and what it deliberately does not do.
roof_takeoff	Roof area and materials take-off. Works out a pitched roof's slope area, rafter length, ridge, hips, eaves and verges from the plan size and pitch, then a materials list: tiles or slates, battens, underlay rolls, ridge and hip tiles, hip irons, valleys, nails, eaves trays,...
check_pitch_headlap	Pitch, headlap and gauge sanity check. Checks a roof covering type against the pitch, the headlap and the batten gauge: is the pitch below the typical minimum for that kind of tile or slate, is the headlap enough for the exposure, does the gauge leave the headlap you want.
weather_window	Weather window for roof work. Gets the hourly forecast for a UK postcode (today and up to 8 days ahead, from MET Norway) and checks each working hour against wind, gusts, rain, frost and the material's limits for the job type (tiling, membranes and sheets, torch-on,...
check_building_regs	Building regulations, Part L and planning flags. England and Wales. Says whether a roofing job is notifiable to building control (re-covering 25% or more of a roof, a change of covering, structural work, rooflights, dormers, solar, new roofs), whether Part L wants the whole roof...
work_at_height_plan	Working at height checklist and job risk note. Builds the working at height and scaffold checklist for a roofing job (hierarchy of controls, scaffold to TG20 with guardrails, 7-day inspections, ladders only for short work, roof ladders, flat roof edges, fragile surfaces, power lines,...
storm_triage	Storm damage and leak triage. Triage for storm damage and roof leaks.
trade_profile	Check the roofer's business details. Checks the roofer's own business details (Nero Trade Profile v1: trading name, Companies House number, competent person scheme and number, postcode, contact) and returns them cleaned, with a stable nero_trade_ref computed from the scheme...

Every tool carries a plain title and the read-only, destructive and open-world hints, so your AI app can ask before anything that changes data.
