Analyze Routes

analyze_routes
Read-onlyIdempotent

Returns the total hours for each of the routes calculate_route has drawn: drive hours, dwell hours, route_workload_hours (provider drive time plus dwell, no visit-frequency multiplier), stop coordinates, centroid, and bbox. Synchronous. Needs map_session_id or ts_handle, and dwell from dwell_time or the dwell recorded on the route; unresolved dwell returns CLARIFICATION_REQUIRED (needs_dwell). A circuit's stop_count includes the return to the start, so that stop's dwell counts twice. Facts only: no capacity, ranking, or overload flags. These hours are a different measure from territory and cluster workload; territory statistics come from analyze.

TDQS

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already establish read-only, idempotent, non-destructive, closed-world behavior, yet the description adds substantial context: it is synchronous, unresolved dwell returns CLARIFICATION_REQUIRED (needs_dwell), circuit stop_count double-counts the return stop's dwell, and it returns facts only with no capacity/ranking/overload flags.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Front-loaded with the return payload and densely packed with decision-relevant facts; each sentence (sync, dwell resolution, circuit caveat, scope boundaries) earns its place. It is on the longer side but not padded.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

An output schema exists, so return-value detail is supplementary rather than required, and the description still supplies the prerequisite inputs, failure mode, and scope boundaries. An agent has everything needed to invoke it correctly.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Top-level schema coverage is 0%, so the description carries the load: it explains that map_session_id or ts_handle is required, and that dwell comes from dwell_time or the route's recorded dwell. This meaningfully compensates for the sparse top-level schema, though it does not detail route_ids itself.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource (returns total hours for each route) and enumerates the exact output fields (drive hours, dwell hours, route_workload_hours, coordinates, centroid, bbox). It clearly distinguishes itself from calculate_route (which draws the routes) and analyze (which handles territory statistics).

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Names the producing sibling (calculate_route) and routes territory/cluster workload questions to analyze, plus states the requirement of map_session_id or ts_handle. It stops short of an explicit 'use this when / do not use this when' formulation, but the context is clear enough to select correctly.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
