Get Volcanic Activity

get_volcanic_activity
Read-only

Free canonical tool. Queries volcanoes_events for historical eruption records and volcanic activity metrics. Best for eruption counts, VEI thresholds, and top-event lookups. Volcano queries normally use year-style time filters rather than ISO date strings.

Input Schema

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

B3.4/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true. The description adds 'Free canonical tool' and 'Queries' but does not disclose any behavioral traits beyond what the annotations provide (e.g., no mention of rate limits, data freshness, or pagination). Minimal added value.

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?

Four short sentences, each contributing unique information: tool classification, resource queried, use cases, and filter hint. No redundancy or wordiness. Front-loaded with key purpose.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Despite good purpose and usage guidance, the description lacks information about return format or output structure, which is critical given no output schema. Also does not mention pagination, data limits, or error conditions for a tool with nested objects and required parameters.

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?

The input schema has 100% description coverage, so baseline is 3. The description adds a usage hint about year-style time filters, but this aligns with the schema parameter descriptions (which already mention year-based time ranges). No significant added meaning beyond the schema.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states it queries historical eruption records and volcanic activity metrics, with specific use cases like eruption counts and VEI thresholds. However, it does not explicitly distinguish itself from the sibling 'get_live_volcano_events', missing a clear differentiator.

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?

Provides guidance on when to use (best for eruption counts, VEI thresholds, top-event lookups) and a specific filter hint (year-style time filters). Lacks explicit exclusion of live events or alternatives, but the guidance is useful.

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.
