How do I turn a place name into a location id?

Use ma_get_location_typeahead to turn an English place name into location ids. Most Casafari tools take a location as ids, a circle or a polygon rather than a name.

• Over MCP, ma_get_location_typeahead returns each match with its location_id, administrative level and breadcrumbs. If several places share a name, add more detail to the request. The ids it returns work with the Area Insights tools.
• For Germany, agentgraph_find_location finds cities, districts and states. The AgentGraph AI tools also accept a name or a postcode directly.
• Over REST, POST /api/v1/references/locations/typeahead is scoped to ES or PT. GET /api/v1/references/locations/by-coordinates resolves a point, and POST /api/v1/references/locations reads the location tree.

comps_get-comparables doesn't need an id. It takes coordinates, an address or a cadastral reference.
