DaedalMap Reverse Geocoding (coordinates to loc_id)

Resolve Point(s) (Shallow)

resolve_point
Read-onlyIdempotent

Primary entry for a bare WGS84 coordinate or bounded point array. Finds the country and returns the deepest available shallow administrative loc_id chain: the global baseline reaches Admin 2, while adopted country query banks may reach Admin 3. Carry its country and loc_ids into later place-specific calls. It does not open deep partitions or side-family shape banks. Use a returned shallow loc_id with resolve_deep_point for Admin 4-6 or one explicit family. Single and bulk requests share this contract; access limits are based on point count. 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.

  14. First observed

TDQS

A4.6/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already cover the safety profile (readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive, closed-world), so the bar is lower, and the description still adds real behavior: depth ceiling (Admin 2 baseline, Admin 3 for adopted banks), that bulk and single share one contract, and that access limits scale with point count. It stops short of error/failure behavior or what happens when a point falls outside the cataloged baseline, keeping it below a 5.

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?

Purpose and scope are front-loaded in the first two sentences, and the deep-vs-shallow routing guidance follows immediately. The trailing catalog paragraph (252 entities plus an eight-country list) is relevant but reads as reference material that dilutes the operative instructions.

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

Completeness5/5

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

For a read-only resolver with an output schema and full annotation coverage, the description supplies everything needed to call it correctly: coordinate contract, depth semantics, escalation sibling, and catalog limits. Return-value details are appropriately delegated to the output schema.

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 3 baseline is met by the schema alone; the description adds meaning by framing the single-vs-bulk contract and clarifying that access limits are driven by point count, which maps to the oneOf branch structure. It does not, however, explain batch_id/request_id echo semantics or array item fields like row_index.

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 states a specific verb and resource ('Finds the country and returns the deepest available shallow administrative loc_id chain') and explicitly bounds its scope ('does not open deep partitions or side-family shape banks'). It clearly distinguishes itself from resolve_deep_point, so an agent can pick between the two without opening either schema.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

It gives an explicit escalation path: 'Use a returned shallow loc_id with resolve_deep_point for Admin 4-6 or one explicit family,' plus the downstream workflow ('Carry its country and loc_ids into later place-specific calls'). It also states the when-not condition (deep partitions, side-family banks), which is exactly what an agent needs for routing.

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