List geodata (map files)

list_geodata
Read-onlyIdempotent

List amCharts 5 geodata (map) files with each one's CDN path, script global name and ES module import: world maps, continents, every country map, regional packs (US states and counties, Canada, Mexico) and the US congressional-district packs, which are versioned per Congress (congressional120 = 120th Congress is the newest). Also the data/countries2 and lang/* helper files. It gives the exact file path and global name that map code needs.

Tool call template

This tool declares no required parameters. Add optional parameters from the input schema as needed.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
filterNoWords that must all match (case-insensitive) a map's path, label, group, ISO code or pack, e.g. 'germany', 'FR', 'region/canada', 'usa counties', 'congressional120', 'congressional whole country', 'continents', 'countries2'. A file or global name ('usaCongressionalLow', 'am5geodata_worldLow') works too. Without it, the result is an overview.

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare this is read-only, idempotent, non-destructive, and closed-world. The description adds useful behavioral context beyond annotations: it enumerates included map categories, notes congressional packs are versioned per Congress, and describes the returned fields, though it does not discuss pagination or result limits.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The definition is front-loaded with the core action and resource, then adds only relevant scoping detail. Despite the long enumeration of map categories, every clause helps an agent understand coverage and returned data.

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, one-parameter list tool with full schema coverage and complete safety annotations, the description supplies enough detail about what is listed and what the results contain. No output schema is present, but the description names the key returned fields.

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?

With one parameter at 100% schema description coverage, the schema already carries the filter semantics, including examples and the overview default. The tool description itself adds no additional parameter guidance, so the baseline 3 is appropriate.

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: it lists amCharts 5 geodata/map files and specifies the return fields (CDN path, script global name, ES module import). It clearly distinguishes this tool from reference/search siblings by naming map-file categories and helper files.

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: this is for obtaining the exact file path and global name that map code needs. It does not explicitly name alternatives or when not to use it, but the context is strong enough to select it over the documentation/reference siblings.

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