## About Ideal Postcodes with LuumenAI

Check an address without leaving your session. Look up a UK postcode, pull a record by UDPRN or UMPRN, or run IDEALPOSTCODES_VALIDATE_ADDRESS to standardize a GBR or USA address with confidence details. Contact validation covers email and phone where that dataset is enabled on your key. Luumen connects with an API key, and every tool here is read-only.

## Example tools

Read-only (9 in total):

- `IDEALPOSTCODES_FIND_ADDRESS_SUGGESTIONS` — Return ranked address suggestions for a partial address without resolving them; resolving a selected suggestion is a separate paid lookup.
- `IDEALPOSTCODES_FIND_PLACE_SUGGESTIONS` — Return ranked country, city, and administrative-area suggestions without resolving them; resolving a selected place is a separate paid lookup.
- `IDEALPOSTCODES_GET_ADDRESS_BY_IDENTIFIER` — Retrieve a UK address by UDPRN or UMPRN.
- `IDEALPOSTCODES_LOOKUP_POSTCODE` — Return addresses at a UK postcode, or an Irish Eircode when enabled; successful results consume paid lookups.
- `IDEALPOSTCODES_RESOLVE_ADDRESS_SUGGESTION` — Resolve an address suggestion ID to a complete GBR or USA address.
- `IDEALPOSTCODES_RESOLVE_PLACE` — Resolve a place suggestion ID to full geography and coordinates.
- `IDEALPOSTCODES_SEARCH_ADDRESSES` — Search complete UK address records by text, filters, or coordinates; successful results consume paid lookups.
- `IDEALPOSTCODES_VALIDATE_ADDRESS` — Match and standardize a GBR or USA address with confidence details.

## Frequently asked questions

### How does LuumenAI connect to Ideal Postcodes?

Authorize once with API token. Luumen lists the scopes each action needs before you approve the connection, and credentials never appear in the chat.

### Can LuumenAI change things in Ideal Postcodes on its own?

No. Every one of the 9 tools is read-only, so LuumenAI can answer questions from Ideal Postcodes but cannot change anything in it.

### Is there an audit trail?

Every call to Ideal Postcodes is recorded with the actor, the input, and the result.
