Search gyms and studios

search_gyms
Read-onlyIdempotent

Find gyms and studios (CrossFit, HYROX, fitness, yoga, pilates, boxing, martial arts, dance, climbing) in France and Europe, near a point or by name, city or postcode. Activity words in the query filter ('CrossFit Nice', 'yoga Lyon'); the rest is the place or the gym name. Gymmy gyms (onGymmy: true) can be booked; others are listed from OpenStreetMap and other public sources (each with its source page and date), not bookable on Gymmy, with their address, opening hours, the gym's own booking link and prices when read on its website (each with its source and date, not verified by Gymmy), and a claim link. Use the gym value with get_gym, get_schedule, get_prices or start_trial.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
latNoLatitude to search around.
lngNoLongitude to search around.
limitNoMax results. Default 10.
queryNoGym name, address, district, city or postcode, optionally with an activity, e.g. 'Lyon', 'CrossFit Nice', 'yoga Lyon', '12 rue Oberkampf Paris' or 'The Wolf Pack'. Places are geocoded when no lat/lng is given.
localeNoAnswer language: fr (default), en, pt, es or de. Pass en when the person writes in English.

TDQS

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already mark the tool read-only, idempotent, and non-destructive, but the description adds important behavior beyond that: Gymmy gyms are bookable, external OSM/public-source gyms are not, and external data includes source/date context plus unverified website-derived prices. This is exactly the kind of source and bookability distinction an agent needs before presenting results.

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 purpose is front-loaded and nearly every clause adds useful information about scope, sourcing, bookability, or follow-up tools. However, it is a dense, semicolon-heavy paragraph, and the source/bookability distinctions would be easier to scan if split into shorter sentences or bullets.

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?

Despite there being no output schema, the description explains the key return distinctions and fields: bookable Gymmy gyms versus externally listed gyms, source page/date, address, opening hours, booking link, prices with source/date and verification caveat, and a claim link. That is sufficient context for an agent to use and present results correctly.

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 schema handles most parameter meaning. The description still adds non-obvious query semantics: activity words inside `query` filter results, while the remaining text is treated as the place or gym name, which clarifies how `query` interacts with the explicit `activity` enum.

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 uses a specific verb and resource ('Find gyms and studios'), defines geographic and query scope, and enumerates supported activities. It also distinguishes Gymmy-bookable gyms from externally listed, non-bookable gyms, so the agent can tell what the tool returns.

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?

It gives clear usage context: search near a point, by name, city, postcode, or activity, and use the returned `gym` value with get_gym, get_schedule, get_prices, or start_trial. It does not explicitly contrast this tool with search_classes or state a when-not condition, so guidance is strong but not fully exhaustive.

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