Get Pack

get_pack
Read-onlyIdempotent

Inspect one selected data pack or geometry family progressively: lite starter contract, full MCP query metadata, or a raw metadata download URL. Use its next_step to retrieve data or call the preferred geometry tool.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
detailNoUse lite to decide and start, full for detailed MCP query metadata, or download for the complete raw metadata file.lite
catalogNoMetadata family. When omitted, geometry facades default to geometry and known geometry-family ids are inferred; all other calls default to data.
pack_idYesPack identifier from get_catalog. Newly catalog-admitted packs require no MCP schema change.
release_unitNoOptional non-country geometry release unit such as GLOBAL or MARINE. Do not combine with country_scope.
country_scopeNoOptional ISO3 country for a geometry family. Omit it to learn which countries publish the family; provide it for country-specific versions, vintages, levels, and artifacts.

TDQS

A3.9/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already establish read-only, idempotent, and non-destructive behavior. The description adds useful behavioral context beyond those hints: the progressive lite/full/download contract and the presence of a next_step handoff for further action.

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?

The description is compact and front-loaded with the core purpose, followed by the handoff behavior. Some jargon like 'starter contract' and 'preferred geometry tool' is vague, but the overall structure is efficient.

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?

Rich schema descriptions, an output schema, and safety annotations cover most operational details. The description still leaves the sibling relationship slightly implicit: it would be stronger if it explicitly named get_data or get_catalog and positioned get_pack in the workflow.

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 pack_id, detail, catalog, release_unit, and country_scope are already well documented. The description restates the detail modes ('lite starter contract, full MCP query metadata, raw metadata download URL') but adds no new parameter-level meaning beyond the 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 names a concrete verb+resource ('inspect one selected data pack or geometry family') and enumerates the three detail modes: lite, full, and download. 'Inspect' plus the reference to next_step separates it from catalog listing and direct data retrieval tools.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The description implies a workflow: inspect a selected pack, then use next_step to retrieve data or call the preferred geometry tool. It never explicitly names get_catalog or get_data as alternatives, nor states when not to use this tool, leaving sibling routing implicit.

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