Compute a route

hubvibe_maps_route
Read-onlyIdempotent

Directions between two places: route and travel time by car, walking, bicycle or transit through Google Maps Grounding Lite. Use it for trip planning and ETAs. Input: origin, destination; optional travel_mode (DRIVE, WALK, BICYCLE, TRANSIT; default DRIVE). $0.10 per call. Returns: origin, destination, travel_mode, result (route, per Maps Grounding Lite's own shape).

  5. Added

TDQS

A3.9/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, open-world and non-destructive, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds genuinely new disclosure beyond them: the backing service (Google Maps Grounding Lite), the fact the result follows that service's own shape, and a $0.10 per-call cost, which is material for an agent deciding whether to call.

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?

Front-loaded with purpose, then inputs, then cost, then return shape — a sensible order. Some low-value restatement (listing output fields already covered by the output schema) keeps it out of 5 territory.

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 an output schema present, the description is not obliged to enumerate returns, yet it still signals the result shape, and it covers inputs, modes and cost. The main gap is routing guidance away from hubvibe_traffic_route, given the near-identical terrain.

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 only 50% (origin and destination carry no descriptions), and the description adds no format, disambiguation or example for them — it merely names the inputs. travel_mode's enum and DRIVE default are simply restated from the schema, and the language parameter is never mentioned. Marginal added value over structured fields.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ('Directions between two places' / 'Compute a route') with the supported modes, so the agent knows exactly what it produces. It does not, however, disambiguate from the overlapping sibling hubvibe_traffic_route or hubvibe_maps_places, which is the only thing keeping it from a 5.

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?

Gives clear use context ('Use it for trip planning and ETAs'), which is enough to place the tool in a workflow. It stops short of naming when not to use it or pointing to the closely related hubvibe_traffic_route alternative, so the sibling-overlap risk is unaddressed.

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