Advance Drafting Agent

Advance Drafting Agent

Deliverable AGT-005. Structure per cc02-standards/SYSTEM-STANDARD.md. Every component traces to a design basis (NEED/REQ) and to an acceptance criterion.

1. Purpose and Design Basis

1.1 Scope and Objective

The Advance Drafting Agent is an automation component that retrieves public mapping, venue, and emergency service contact data to pre-populate Advance Survey Reports (EP-002) for new venues on a client itinerary.

1.2 Design Basis

This system automates and accelerates the preparatory site information gathering process. It runs site addresses against public API geocoding services and regional caches to pre-compile EP-002 files, reducing operator manual data lookup times before arrival.

1.3 Needs

  • NEED-AGT-005-01: Operators (MR/JM) need pre-populated advance surveys prior to arriving at new sites to save field time.
    • Source: MR/JM (Detail Operators) advance survey planning.
    • Context: Operators spend excessive hours manually locating local hospital coordinates, police dispatch numbers, and route details before visiting sites.
  • NEED-AGT-005-02: The Systems Engineer (CS) requires that all external geospatial queries are throttled and run through local proxies to prevent tracking of target locations.
    • Source: CS (Systems Engineer) security tools plan.
    • Context: Sequential lookups of specific VIP-associated venues from a single IP could alert threat actors to the principal’s movement corridor.

1.4 Requirements

  • REQ-AGT-005-01 (Traceability: NEED-AGT-005-01): When provided with a venue address, the Advance Drafting Agent shall query public geospatial databases to populate the location details of the Advance Survey Report (EP-002) [VR-AGT-005-01].
    • Verification Method: Test (T)
  • REQ-AGT-005-02 (Traceability: NEED-AGT-005-01): Under the condition that a database query returns empty values for local authorities, the Advance Drafting Agent shall flag the missing regulatory or police contact details in the draft for operator follow-up [VR-AGT-005-02].
    • Verification Method: Inspection (I)
  • REQ-AGT-005-03 (Traceability: NEED-AGT-005-02): The geospatial query client shall route all external API requests through a randomized proxy rotation [VR-AGT-005-03].
    • Verification Method: Test (T)

2. Architecture As Built

The Advance Drafting Agent is an automated retrieval tool (Python 3.12, using the geopy and requests libraries). It accepts venue addresses via a command-line interface, handles proxy network translation locally, queries public geocoding services (such as OpenStreetMap Nominatim), and maps the resulting coordinates and administrative data to pre-populate sections in the EP-002 Advance Survey Report markdown files.

Data flow:

  1. The operator submits a query address string to the CLI.
  2. The proxy rotator selects an IP and sets randomized user-agent headers to anonymize the connection.
  3. The geocoding client executes an HTTPS request to the geocoding service.
  4. If coordinates are found, the data passes to the parser; otherwise an empty-coordinate flag is set for operator follow-up.
  5. The template compiler loads the EP-002 template, merges the retrieved coordinate details, and flags missing police/hospital data.
  6. The pre-populated EP-002 file is written to the deliverables directory.

4. Build and Deployment

4.1 Client Installation

  1. Pack geocoding client dependencies into the python environment; install project dependencies with uv sync.
  2. Configure OpenStreetMap Nominatim request headers.
  3. Configure the output directory path for EP-002 Advance Survey Report markdown files; validate that standard EP-002 advance templates are copied to the templates path.

4.2 Network Integration

  1. Set up integration with outbound proxy client networks.
  2. Establish API credentials inside /etc/default/advance-agent environment configuration.
  3. Run integration queries to verify proxy-rotation latency.
  4. Execute a geocoding run via: uv run advance-agent --address <string> --out <path>.

5. Hardening Baseline

  • Egress Hardening: Force proxy routing on all external lookups; implement a hard maximum of 1 geocoding query per second to prevent rate throttling [REQ-AGT-005-03].
  • Data Anonymization: Strip user-agent details and unique identifiers from Nominatim headers before sending API requests.
  • Output Isolation: Restrict write permissions on the output directories to the application executor account only.
