Seemor Restaurant Intelligence

Explore Area

explore_area
Read-onlyIdempotent

Get aggregate dining statistics for a neighborhood, city, or region: cuisine breakdown, grade distribution, price range, top neighborhoods, and highlighted restaurants. Use this for area-level context ("what is the dining scene like in Shoreditch?"), NOT for finding a specific restaurant or getting a personal recommendation. For "find me a quiet Italian near Shoreditch", use the recommend tool instead. Coverage is reported honestly: coverage_level 'full' (fully analyzed rows present), 'basic' (only quick-read rows: review-analysis bands, no letter grades yet), or 'none'; analyzed_count and preliminary_count split total_restaurants, and highlights marked coverage_level 'basic' carry a preliminary_band instead of a grade. not_found means neither analyzed nor preliminary rows exist.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
areaYesNeighborhood, city, or region name, in English or the local language. Supports 'Shoreditch', 'Shoreditch, London', 'Rome' or 'Roma', 'Wien', 'Praha', 'Montréal', 'Chelsea, NYC'. Whenever the conversation shows which place is meant, add its city, state or country after a comma, so a shared name needs no guess; other_places lists the others when a name is shared.

TDQS

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive. The description adds rich behavioral context beyond that: how coverage_level values map to data completeness, the distinction between analyzed_count and preliminary_count, and how 'not_found' is defined. This goes well beyond the structured annotations.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

Although somewhat long, every sentence earns its place: core purpose, usage distinction, alternative routing, and honest coverage semantics. Information is front-loaded and logically organized, with no filler or repetition.

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?

The description is fully complete for an area exploration tool. It covers what the tool does, how to interpret coverage status, what the output fields mean, and how to route to a sibling tool. An output schema exists for return values, and the description does not need to repeat those details.

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

Parameters3/5

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

The input schema covers 100% of the parameter with examples and disambiguation guidance. The description reinforces that the parameter refers to a geographic area but does not add syntax, formatting, or semantics beyond what the schema already provides. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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?

The description starts with a specific verb and resource ('Get aggregate dining statistics') and lists concrete components (cuisine breakdown, grade distribution, price range). It explicitly distinguishes itself from sibling tools by stating it is for area-level context, not specific restaurant finding or personal recommendations.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

It clearly states when to use ('area-level context... what is the dining scene like in Shoreditch?'), when not to use ('NOT for finding a specific restaurant or getting a personal recommendation'), and names an alternative tool ('use the recommend tool instead'). This covers the full when/when-not/alternatives requirement.

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