Get Disaster Link Chain

get_disaster_link_chain
Read-only

Free linked-disaster helper. Expands one exact disaster event id into a bounded related-event chain. Use this only when you already have an exact event id from a supported pack such as earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes, or wildfires.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
depthNoMaximum link-chain depth to traverse. Default 1.
pack_idNoOptional pack id hint when the event id is ambiguous. Supported exact-event link packs are earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes, and wildfires.
event_idYesExact disaster event id from a supported pack row, such as 'NOAA-SIG-2' or 'USA-CA-FIRE-215'.
request_idNoOptional caller-supplied request id for tracing.
cross_type_onlyNoWhen true, only return cross-hazard links. Default true.

TDQS

A4/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true; description adds 'free linked-disaster helper' and 'bounded' chain but no deeper behavioral detail like rate limits or return structure. Not contradictory.

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 sentences, no filler, front-loaded with key purpose. Every word serves a purpose.

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?

Covers purpose, usage, and supported packs adequately for a read-only tool with no output schema. Could describe output format but still complete enough for most use cases.

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 baseline 3. Description adds value by listing supported packs in the pack_id and event_id descriptions, but does not add major new semantics beyond schema.

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 clearly states the tool expands an exact disaster event ID into a bounded related-event chain, with specific verbs and resource. It distinguishes from siblings like search_disaster_links and get_disaster_links_for_event.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

Explicitly states when to use (only with exact event id from supported pack). Lists supported packs, giving context. Does not explicitly exclude alternatives but implies exclusive use for exact ID expansion.

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

A3.9/5.0
Disambiguation4/5

Most tools have clearly distinct scopes with detailed 'Use this' guidance, but a few pairs like get_disaster_link_chain and get_disaster_links_for_event, or query_dataset versus the specialized get_* event tools, could cause momentary confusion. Overall, descriptions mitigate overlap well.

Naming Consistency4/5

The majority follow a consistent verb_noun pattern (check_, compare_, convert_, create_, estimate_, get_, list_, resolve_). Minor exceptions like loc_id_info and query_dataset are acceptable but break the pattern slightly.

Tool Count3/5

28 tools exceed the preferred range, but the broad domain spanning disasters, geospatial geometry, reference conversion, and export jobs justifies many of them. Still, the count feels heavy and might overwhelm agents.

Completeness5/5

The tool surface is remarkably comprehensive: discovery (catalog, pack, geometry catalog), resolution (point, reference, scope), geometry (check, get, compare), conversion (quote, create, status), and disaster events for multiple types. No critical dead ends for the stated domain.
