Headed In: Florida trips, water and weather

Golden hour and sunset

golden_hour
Read-onlyIdempotent

Golden hour, blue hour, sunrise and sunset for any spot (today and tomorrow, local time), which way the sun sets, what's next and how long until it, and a guess at tonight's sunset (could be a good one / clean and clear / iffy / probably gray) from cloud layers here and 25 miles toward the sun. For photographers, creators, sunset cruises and beach plans. Gives one sentence to say out loud.

A3.9/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already cover read-only, idempotent, open-world and non-destructive, so the safety bar is already met. The description adds real behavioral detail beyond them: local-time horizon of today and tomorrow, countdown to the next event, sunset bearing, and a four-level sunset rating derived from cloud layers here and 25 miles toward the sun. It stops short of clarifying the case where neither lat/lon nor place resolves.

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 main clause is front-loaded and dense with useful detail in one sentence. The audience list and the closing 'one sentence to say out loud' are marketing-flavored padding, and the forecast clause makes the sentence long, but almost every element carries information.

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?

With no output schema, the description carries the burden of describing returns, and it does: timing, direction, next event with countdown, verdict levels, and a spoken summary line. Missing is any statement of what happens if location input is ambiguous or incomplete, which matters given all parameters are optional.

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 each parameter is already documented, which sets the baseline at 3. The description says 'for any spot', which does not explain the lat/lon vs. place choice and is arguably looser than the schema's Florida-specific 'place' wording, so it adds no 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?

States a specific resource and scope: golden hour, blue hour, sunrise and sunset for any spot, today and tomorrow in local time, plus sunset direction and a cloud-layer-based sunset guess. No sibling tool in the list covers solar light timing, so the purpose is unmistakable.

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?

Audience framing ('for photographers, creators, sunset cruises and beach plans') implies usage contexts, but it never says when to pick this over alternatives, nor does it name any sibling. The correct call is inferable but not stated.

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