Airport lookup

jt_airport_lookup

Read-onlyIdempotent

Find an airport by ICAO code, IATA code, city or name (Brazil first): coordinates, elevation, runway length and type. Ranking: exact code > exact city or name > scheduled service / public use > large > medium > small > heliport > has runway on record > has ICAO; rankingReason explains the top pick and alternatives[] lists the rest. Many small strips have no ICAO or runway length on record.

A3.5/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare read-only, idempotent, non-destructive, and closed-world behavior. The description adds valuable context beyond that: the ranking priority, the meaning of rankingReason and alternatives[], and a caveat that many small strips lack ICAO or runway length.

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 core purpose, followed by ranking details and a data-quality caveat. The three sentences are dense but each carries useful information; the ranking list is long but directly relevant to result interpretation.

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

Completeness4/5

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

Given the single required parameter, rich annotations, and an output schema, the description is mostly complete: it explains query forms, ranking behavior, output fields, and data limitations. The main gap is the absence of usage guidance relative to sibling tools.

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?

Schema description coverage is 100% and already documents the query parameter with examples. The description adds some meaning by naming IATA and city/name as valid query types and noting Brazil-first ranking, but does not add syntax or format constraints beyond the schema.

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

Purpose4/5

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

States a specific verb (Find) and resource (airport), lists input types (ICAO/IATA/city/name) and returned fields (coordinates, elevation, runway length/type). It is clear what the tool does, but does not explicitly differentiate itself from siblings such as jt_airport_traffic or jt_runway_check.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

No when-to-use guidance or alternatives are provided. The ranking and Brazil-first note describe behavior rather than usage context, leaving the agent to infer when this tool is preferable to sibling airport-related tools.

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