bacnet-mcp 0.15.0

A Model Context Protocol server for BACnet sites, over the bacnet-ops engine, read-only unless a profile offers guarded writes
Documentation
//! Prompts a user picks to start well (design ยง6): `survey_site` and
//! `investigate_point`. Each tells the model that device-reported strings
//! are data and that writes need approval. Their arguments are checked
//! against the target grammar, and no device text ever goes into them.
