## About Postal Data API with LuumenAI

Ask whether a postal code exists, what city and region it belongs to, and where it sits. POSTAL_DATA_API_LOOKUP_POSTAL_CODE and POSTAL_DATA_API_GET_POSTAL_CODE_METADATA return coordinates, timezone, and administrative detail; POSTAL_DATA_API_VALIDATE_POSTAL_CODES_BULK checks up to 1,000 codes at once, including mixed-country batches. Connect with an API key. Every tool here is read-only, so answers come back immediately.

## Example tools

Read-only (6 in total):

- `POSTAL_DATA_API_GET_API_INFORMATION` — Return Postal Data API version, coverage, usage guidance, current balance, and configured rate-limit status when returned, for connectivity or service discovery.
- `POSTAL_DATA_API_GET_POSTAL_CODE_METADATA` — Return all available country-specific metadata for a postal code, such as coordinates, timezone, county, elevation, and administrative levels.
- `POSTAL_DATA_API_LOOKUP_POSTAL_CODE` — Look up the city, region, and coordinates for a postal code.
- `POSTAL_DATA_API_SEARCH_POSTAL_CODES_BY_CITY` — Return all postal codes matching a city and optional region, including fuzzy-match details.
- `POSTAL_DATA_API_VALIDATE_POSTAL_CODE` — Check whether one postal code exists without treating a nonexistent code as an execution error.
- `POSTAL_DATA_API_VALIDATE_POSTAL_CODES_BULK` — Validate 1 to 1,000 postal codes synchronously, including mixed-country batches.

## Frequently asked questions

### How does LuumenAI connect to Postal Data API?

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 Postal Data API on its own?

No. Every one of the 6 tools is read-only, so LuumenAI can answer questions from Postal Data API but cannot change anything in it. Read actions still follow the configured access and approval policy.

### Is there an audit trail?

Every call to Postal Data API is recorded with the actor, the input, and the result.
