DaedalMap Reverse Geocoding (coordinates to loc_id)

Resolve Point(s) (Deep)

resolve_deep_point

Read-onlyIdempotent

Second-pass resolution for one WGS84 coordinate or a bounded point array. Supply one shared shallow_loc_id returned by resolve_point and one canonical family from get_catalog(catalog='geometry'). family defaults to administrative; shape-backed families use direct bbox-to-exact-shape lookup without crosswalks. Single and bulk requests share this scoped contract. Current catalog: The same geography tools work worldwide across a cataloged baseline of 252 geographic entities, reaching up to Admin 2. Where additional country releases are available, the same calls automatically return deeper administrative tiers or maintained reference families. Additional detail is currently available for Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Mexico, United Kingdom, United States.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema

Name	Required	Description	Default
`lat`	No	Latitude in WGS84 decimal degrees.
`lon`	No	Longitude in WGS84 decimal degrees.
`family`	No	One family selector. Defaults to administrative; use marine for the direct Marine resolver, or a canonical country family such as postal_area, watershed, or land_management_region.	administrative
`points`	No	Points already known to fall within the supplied shallow_loc_id scope.
`batch_id`	No	Optional caller-supplied batch id echoed for point arrays.
`request_id`	No	Optional caller-supplied request id for tracing.
`shallow_loc_id`	Yes	The deepest canonical Admin 1-3 loc_id returned by resolve_point, such as USA-NY-061-009903.
`target_admin_level`	No	Optional exact Admin 4-6 level. Omit for the deepest available match.

TDQS

A4.3/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already mark the tool as read-only, idempotent, and non-destructive. The description adds meaningful behavior beyond that: it reveals the bbox-to-exact-shape lookup strategy for shape-backed families and the scoped contract shared by single and bulk requests, plus geographic coverage nuances such as automatic deeper tiers for certain countries. No contradiction with annotations.

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 core usage description is front-loaded and tight: purpose, required inputs, family default, and lookup behavior fit into the first few sentences. The final 'Current catalog' paragraph is informative but somewhat lengthy and could be trimmed; still, it is organized and not redundant with the schema.

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?

For a moderately complex tool with 8 parameters, a oneOf constraint, and an output schema, the description covers the essential operational context: second-pass nature, required upstream inputs, family behavior, and data availability. The points array scope is reinforced ('bounded point array' matches the schema's 'Points already known to fall within the supplied shallow_loc_id scope'), and the output schema covers return values.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds value by explaining how to source the shallow_loc_id and family parameters, that family defaults to administrative, and that shape-backed families behave differently. This goes beyond the schema's field-level descriptions, though it doesn't detail every parameter because the schema already does.

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 opens with 'Second-pass resolution for one WGS84 coordinate or a bounded point array,' naming a specific verb, resource, and scope. It also explicitly ties to sibling tools by requiring a shallow_loc_id 'returned by resolve_point' and a family 'from get_catalog(catalog='geometry')', making the tool's role and differentiation unmistakable.

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?

The description clearly states the invocation contract: supply a shallow_loc_id from resolve_point and a canonical family from get_catalog. It also notes that family defaults to administrative and that shape-backed families use direct lookup without crosswalks, giving clear context on when to use this deep-resolution path. It doesn't explicitly enumerate when-not-to-use cases, so it falls just short of full exclusionary guidance.

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