DaedalMap Disaster and Geospatial Data

Get Earthquake Events

get_earthquake_events
Read-only

Paid x402 canonical tool. Queries the published earthquakes_events lane. Use this first for earthquake questions because it is the enriched DaedalMap history lane with stable loc_id geography, not the preliminary upstream wrapper. Call without payment first - the server returns HTTP 402 with the exact USDC price before any charge. Small queries stay cheap; broad scans cost more or need narrower filters.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
sortNoOptional sort instructions for row-returning queries.
limitNoMaximum number of rows to return. For top-N requests, include a narrow time range or region_ids before sorting.
outputNoOptional output controls such as response format hints.
filtersYesStructured filters including time ranges, region_ids, and compare clauses.
metricsYesMetric ids to return, such as 'event_count' or event attributes like 'magnitude'.
request_idNoOptional caller-supplied request id for tracing and idempotency.

TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Discloses paid nature with HTTP 402 behavior and pricing sensitivity, which goes beyond the readOnlyHint annotation, adding crucial behavioral context.

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?

Concise four-sentence paragraph with front-loaded purpose and no fluff, though it could benefit from structural separation of usage and payment details.

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?

Provides adequate context for a moderately complex tool with 6 params and no output schema, covering payment flow and lane distinction, but lacks hints about response structure.

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 description adds minimal parameter detail beyond existing schema. It mentions query breadth cost implications but does not explain parameter formats or relationships.

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?

Description clearly states it queries earthquake events from the enriched DaedalMap history lane, distinguishing it from the preliminary upstream wrapper and sibling tools like get_live_earthquake_events.

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 advises to use this first for earthquake questions and describes the 402 payment flow and filter optimization, though it does not explicitly state when not to use it or name alternatives.

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.
