The overhead agent wraps 75 MCP tools behind a single MCP server (pole-model-mcp). Tools are grouped here by category. For full input / output schemas, point an MCP-aware client at the server and call the protocol’s list_tools.

Pole assembly & modification — 18 tools

Step-by-step or bulk pole construction. Crossarms, insulators, risers, guy anchors, equipment placement. Replacement-pole cloning with auto-height adjustment.

Notable composites: build_pole_from_intent, clone_pole_for_replacement, apply_proposal_cascade.

Clearance & compliance — 11 tools

CPUC GO-95 (Tables 1 & 2) and NESC C2 (Tables 232, 235) electrical clearance checks. Conductor sag analysis with temperature. Ground and conductor-separation violation detection.

Notable composites: analyze_and_run_clearance, fix_clearance_violation.

Multi-format I/O — 13 tools

Parse SPIDA, O-Calc, PLS (with optional .loa), drone imagery, and field-capture data. Export SPIDA, ESRI GeoJSON, Pixar USD.

Notable composites: parse_any_format, build_and_export_compliant_pole.

ESRI GIS sync — 6 tools

Push, pull, and sync pole models, attachment metadata, and conductor records to ESRI feature layers. Sync analysis results (clearance status, enrichment fields) back to existing features.

Joint-use compliance — 6 tools

NCJPA JP Form 2 analysis and rendering for single-pole and replacement-pair workflows. Replacement-planning enrichment (construction costs, shared-facility flags).

Cost estimation — 2 tools

Installation cost modeling and replacement-project cost deltas (existing → new pole).

Scenario state & ML datasets — 7 tools

Named operating conditions (rain_peak, summer_load) with multi-family metadata (electrical, thermal, mechanical). Tensor dataset generation in three projection modes:

  • pole_tabular — tabular pole-level features
  • attachment_sequence — sequence features per attachment
  • connection_mechanics — connection features for guy / anchor / loading prediction

3D visualization — 3 tools

USD / USDA scene assembly with a component library (poles, crossarms, insulators, equipment, anchors, conductors). Scenario-state attachment for visual analytics.

Standards review — 3 tools

Utility-specific RAG-backed review and Q&A with PDF ingestion. Cited findings across GO-95, NESC, RUS, and utility construction standards.

Framing classification & validation — 3 tools

Auto-detect tangent / deadend / corner / two-arm framing. Validate against utility-standard rules. Fix common unguyed-structure conflicts.

Standout features

  • Composite operations that fold 3–5 steps into one call
  • What-if conductor swaps with cascading strength re-checks
  • Cascading equipment placement when crossarms move
  • Same-circuit Q&A flow for Table 2 disambiguation
  • 3D ghost rendering in USD with scenario metadata
  • Field-to-model capture from drone imagery and field-capture data
