Criora: climate & disaster risk for any place

Long-term climate risk of one place: floods, heat, drought, sea level

get_climate_profile

Read-onlyIdempotent

Long-term climate risk of one place or property in depth, from 57 global layers: river and coastal flood depth of a 100-year flood now, 2050 and 2080; sea level rise; extreme heat and cold days; heavy rain; drought; water stress; wildfire; warming and rainfall change to 2050 and 2080 with the models' range; NDVI vegetation; earthquake hazard, subsidence, elevation, land cover and the climate zone. Narrow it with categories or layer ids (fetch catalog:layers).

Use for buying, renting or building a home or moving somewhere: "does this area flood", "how hot will it get here by 2050". Two or more places, a list of sites or a portfolio: get_climate_table, up to 200 in one call. Not for this week's weather (get_forecast) or events now (get_hazards_near).

Input Schema

Name	Required	Description	Default
`layers`	No	Only these layers, by id, e.g. ndvi/annual for the NDVI vegetation index or flood_riverine/inundation for river flood depth; fetch catalog:layers lists every id. Combined with categories, both are given
`language`	No	Language code for the name of the place found (resolved_from); the rest of the answer is English	en
`latitude`	No	Latitude, WGS84; or give place_name
`longitude`	No	Longitude, WGS84; or give place_name
`categories`	No	Only the layers of these categories; every layer when omitted. misc holds Köppen climate zone, now and in 2050 and 2080, solar radiation, solar radiation of the sunniest month, surface runoff; fetch catalog:layers lists every layer
`place_name`	No	A place name or street address; add the country after a comma when ambiguous (Portland, Maine)
`response_format`	No	concise (default) answers the question; detailed adds every field the sources give	concise

Output Schema

Name	Required	Description	Default
`notes`	Yes
`credit`	Yes
`layers`	Yes
`sources`	Yes
`datasets`	Yes
`location`	Yes
`truncated`	No
`criora_url`	Yes
`resolved_from`	Yes

A4.3/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive and open-world, so safety is covered. The description adds genuine behavioral context absent from the annotations: the 57-layer scope, the 2050/2080 scenario horizons with the models' range, that results can be narrowed by category or layer id, and that response_format trades breadth for verbosity. It stops short of noting cost, latency or per-call layer limits.

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 purpose and scope, then use cases, then exclusions and sibling routing — a sensible order. The long layer enumeration is dense but is the main value proposition, though the semicolon-chained list could be tightened slightly.

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?

With an output schema present, return values need no explanation, and all parameters are optional so no required-input guidance is needed. The description covers scope, scenarios, narrowing and sibling routing adequately for a 7-parameter read tool; minor omissions (resolution, data vintage, behavior when both place_name and coordinates are supplied) are not essential.

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%, so all seven parameters are already documented inline. The description only reinforces two of them: that layers/categories narrow the result and that layer ids come from catalog:layers. It adds no format, precedence or default guidance beyond what the schema already states (e.g. that layers and categories combine).

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 ("Long-term climate risk of one place or property in depth") and then enumerates the concrete content: flood depth at 100-year return period for now/2050/2080, sea level rise, heat days, drought, wildfire, NDVI, earthquake, subsidence, land cover, Köppen zone. It explicitly separates itself from get_climate_table (multiple places), get_forecast (this week's weather) and get_hazards_near (events now), so an agent can pick it without opening 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?

Names concrete use cases (buying, renting, building a home, moving somewhere) with example user questions, gives the exact switch condition to a sibling ("Two or more places, a list of sites or a portfolio: get_climate_table, up to 200 in one call"), and states two explicit exclusions with the correct alternatives. Nothing is left to inference.

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