Soil context & site constraints (USDA SSURGO): septic, foundation, drainage, shrink-swell

Returns USDA SSURGO dominant-component suitability for septic, foundation, and drainage at an address via USDA Soil Data Access, for agents checking soil limits. Returns the same records as locus_soil_context. Use this when your client can only call paid x402 routes. Use locus_soil_context instead when you can call Locus free tools (REST tools/call or MCP).
