Tools of Hermes — Air Quality Intelligence
	Description		Read-only	Idempotent	Open world
`assess_location_aq`Comprehensive air quality assessment for a location in one call. Combines nearby monitor discovery and current readings with DAQI into a single response. Use this as the first tool call for any air quality question about a location. For long-term trend analysis, use the dedicated `trend_analysis` tool. Returns a structured 'summary' dict with purpose-appropriate sections. Present the summary description to users first. Args: location: Postcode, place name, or "lat,lon". purpose: What the user needs — "general" (default), "health" (safety/worry), "exercise" (outdoor activity), or "planning" (homebuying/school assessment/long-term).
