Suburb · Livability scores per microburb

suburbs_lifestyle_livability_map
Read-onlyIdempotent

All seven livability dimensions — affluence, lifestyle, hip, convenience, family, safety, tranquility — scored 0-100 for every microburb (mesh block) in the suburb, each with its human band. Averaging a dimension across the microburbs reproduces the suburb figure at /lifestyle/livability. Values only; polygons come from /shapes/mesh-blocks.

  2. First observed

TDQS

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already mark it read-only, idempotent, and non-destructive; the description adds that the response is values-only, each dimension has a 0-100 scale and a human band, and the data is keyed per mesh block. It also clarifies the boundary with geometric endpoints, which is useful context beyond the 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?

Three compact sentences, with granularity and dimensions front-loaded, then the relationships to aggregate and geometry endpoints. No filler or duplicated annotation content.

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?

Given one simple parameter and no output schema, the description covers what is returned (dimensions, scale, bands, mesh-block granularity), what is not returned (polygons), and how the output relates to sibling endpoints. An agent has enough to decide whether to call it and what to expect.

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

Parameters2/5

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

There is one required parameter, `suburb_name`, with 0% schema coverage, so the description needed to define acceptable values. It only says 'the suburb' and never specifies expected format, canonical names, or case sensitivity, leaving a real gap.

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 names a concrete resource — all seven livability dimensions scored 0-100 for every microburb — and explicitly distinguishes its granularity from the suburb-level `/lifestyle/livability` figure. The title reinforces the per-microburb purpose, so an agent can identify it among the many `suburbs_lifestyle_*` and `suburbs_shapes_*` siblings.

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 says values-only output and points to `/shapes/mesh-blocks` for polygons, and explains that averaging its microburb scores reproduces the aggregate `/lifestyle/livability` figure. This gives clear routing between per-microburb, suburb-level, and geometry tools.

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