Key Capabilities
Embed total programmatic area into vector stores
The `calculate_programmatic_needs` tool sums up the required square footage for every room listed in your architectural brief. LlamaIndex takes that raw output and embeds it into your vector store. You query past project dimensions and get answers grounded in actual calculation data rather than AI guesses.
Ground RAG applications in baseline room data
Fetching `get_base_area_by_function` returns the baseline usable area for specific functional environments like classrooms or lobbies. Your RAG application combines these baseline figures with local building code documents. Vinkius secures every MCP request with a cryptographically signed audit trail, giving you a tamper-proof SHA-256 record of exactly which spatial rules your agent accessed.
Index structural multipliers for semantic search
Executing `adjust_area_for_structure` applies the necessary multipliers for structural support columns and shear walls. This transforms net usable space into a realistic gross building footprint. Since Vinkius handles all infrastructure and updates for the Area Program Calculator MCP, your LlamaIndex pipelines always run against the latest structural math models without manual maintenance.
