Traffic-aware travel time and distance between two places

hubvibe_traffic_route
Read-onlyIdempotent

Travel time with live traffic between two places, from the Google Routes API at call time: duration with traffic, duration without, the delay, distance, route description, warnings and advisories. Places as addresses, names or 'lat,lng'. Use it for ETAs, delivery windows and trip planning. Input: origin, destination; optional travel_mode, departure_time, traffic. $0.10 per call. Returns: origin, destination, travel_mode, traffic, departure_time, distance_meters, duration_seconds, static_duration_seconds, delay_seconds, duration_text, static_duration_text, distance_text, description, warnings[], advisory, source, as_of, checked_at.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
originYesWhere the trip starts: an address, a place name, or "lat,lng".
trafficNoaware (default): live traffic; optimal: live traffic with the best route quality, slower; none: no traffic.
languageNoOptional BCP-47 language tag (en, ja, ko, pt-BR): the human-readable strings of the result (notes, details, reasons) are translated into this language; data, codes, numbers and URLs are untouched. Default: as produced.
destinationYesWhere the trip ends: an address, a place name, or "lat,lng".
travel_modeNoDefault DRIVE. Traffic applies to DRIVE and TWO_WHEELER only.
departure_timeNoRFC 3339 departure time in the future (2026-09-27T16:30:00Z); omit to leave now.

TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond the annotations (already declaring read-only, open-world, idempotent, non-destructive), the description adds valuable behavior: per-call cost ($0.10), that data is fetched live at call time, the full set of returned signals (duration with/without traffic, delay, warnings, advisory) and the constraint that traffic only applies to DRIVE and TWO_WHEELER.

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 the core capability, then inputs, price and return fields in a single dense but information-carrying block. Every clause earns its place, though the enumerated return list makes it long for a two-sentence description.

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 annotations covering safety and an output schema covering return shape, the description is essentially complete for correct invocation, including cost and freshness. The only meaningful gap is the lack of explicit routing against the sibling maps/route tool.

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 description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description restates the inputs (origin, destination; optional travel_mode, departure_time, traffic) and the 'address, names, or lat,lng' formats, but adds no semantics the schema does not already carry.

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 verb and resource ('travel time with live traffic between two places') and adds the data source (Google Routes API, evaluated at call time). An agent can distinguish it from generic siblings like hubvibe_maps_route because traffic-awareness and the live-traffic fields are explicit.

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 concrete usage contexts ('ETAs, delivery windows and trip planning') and names the required/optional inputs, so the agent knows when this tool applies. It does not, however, explicitly exclude or route to alternatives (e.g. hubvibe_maps_route or hubvibe_travel_flight_status), so the when-not guidance is absent.

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