Criora: climate & disaster risk for any place

7-day weather forecast and extreme-weather risk

get_forecast

Read-onlyIdempotent

This week's weather and extreme-weather risk at a place, day by day: temperature, rain, wind and each day's risk class (Very low, Low, Medium, High, Critical) with the hazard behind it and why. Heat and cold are graded on UTCI, the felt temperature outdoors.

Use for the next 7 days: "will it storm in Lisbon on Friday", "is it too hot to hike this week". Days 8 and later: assess_place with dates. Disasters already happening: get_hazards_near. Long-term exposure: get_climate_profile.

A4.5/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already establish read-only, idempotent, open-world, non-destructive behavior, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds useful domain behavior beyond that: the five-level risk classification, that each day carries the underlying hazard and its reason, and that heat/cold are graded on UTCI felt temperature. It does not discuss rate limits or data latency, but with rich annotations and an output schema those gaps are minor.

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?

Two tight paragraphs: the first front-loads what the tool returns and how risk is graded, the second handles usage routing with concrete examples. Every sentence adds decision-relevant information with no repetition of the schema or annotations.

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?

With an output schema present, the description need not explain return shapes; it still covers scope, the risk scale, UTCI basis, and sibling routing. Combined with complete parameter documentation and full annotations, an agent has everything needed to select and call this tool correctly.

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 coverage is 100%, so latitude/longitude/place_name, language, and response_format are fully documented structurally. The description adds only indirect hints ('at a place') and does not explain parameter behavior such as the language parameter affecting only resolved_from. Baseline 3 is appropriate when the schema carries parameter meaning.

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 specific resource (this week's weather and extreme-weather risk at a place, day by day), enumerates what is returned (temperature, rain, wind, risk class with hazard and reason), and states the grading basis (UTCI). It is clearly distinguishable from siblings such as get_climate_profile and get_hazards_near.

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 gives explicit when-to-use examples ('will it storm in Lisbon on Friday', 'is it too hot to hike this week') and routes out-of-scope cases to named alternatives: assess_place for days 8+, get_hazards_near for ongoing disasters, get_climate_profile for long-term exposure. No inference is required.

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