by io.github.impanyu
OverviewDiscussionsAdmin

Discover photo spots nearby or along a route

discover_photo_spots

Find POIs nearby or along a walking/driving route, compare available images, and return ranked photo spots with scores, camera headings, reasons and source links. Costs $2.00 USDC on Base per call.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
latYesLatitude of the search center.
lonYesLongitude of the search center.
limitNoDeprecated compatibility field; ignored. All verified matching places are returned.
queryNoNatural-language request. Explicit text overrides conflicting structured parameters.
routeNoOptional real road route. Default walking, 300 m corridor; up to 200 km. Origin omitted uses lat/lon. Destination accepts address or coordinates. Up to 50 photographic locations along the route.
radiusNoSearch radius in meters; default 1000.
poiQueriesNoArbitrary POI categories or business names, e.g. coffee shops.
osmFeaturesNoOSM physical features and attributes; combined using featureCombination. Tagged features use exact/existence filters; intersections use road topology.
photoStylesNoOptional desired photo moods.
preferencesNoAdditional photography preferences.
requirementsNoCondition ledger for compiled programs: required, preferred or forbidden; retrieval step IDs scope conditions to each logical branch.
scoringIntentNoVisual subject, style and requirements for matching and scoring.
searchProgramNoValidated data-flow program over search/spatial/set, collect_images, score_images and rank_results tools. Leave all other target/spatial fields empty; global center/radius/styles are shared. Up to 24 steps and 8 source queries.
searchBranchesNoOR across independently constrained target groups; AND between target, geography and features inside a group. When set, leave top-level poiQueries/geographicKinds/osmFeatures empty.
geographicKindsNoSpatial requirements; combination is controlled by geographicCombination.
featureCombinationNoAND/all or OR/any across OSM feature requirements; default all.
geographicCombinationNoAND/all or OR/any across geographic requirements; default all.

A3.7/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations declare readOnlyHint=false, openWorldHint=true and non-idempotency, and the description usefully explains the non-read-only nature by disclosing a concrete per-call charge ("Costs $2.00 USDC on Base per call"). Because no output schema exists, the description also carries the return payload (scores, camera headings, reasons, source links) — genuinely additive. It stops short of describing failure modes, rate limits, or latency for a paid external call.

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?

Two tight sentences: the capability is front-loaded, the return payload and cost follow immediately. No filler, no restating the name, and the cost caveat lands where an agent will see it before invoking.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a 17-parameter tool with a 24-step searchProgram DSL, requirement ledgers, and searchBranches, the description never explains that three input strategies exist or when to choose each. It does cover purpose, cost and returned fields (needed since no output schema exists), but the advanced-orchestration surface is left entirely to the schema.

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 schema already documents all 17 parameters including the route/travelMode/corridor semantics. The description adds only the loose phrase "nearby or along a walking/driving route" and no syntax, defaults, or precedence details beyond what the schema states. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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?

The description gives a specific verb and resource ("Find POIs nearby or along a walking/driving route") and spells out what the tool returns ("ranked photo spots with scores, camera headings, reasons and source links"). It does not explicitly name or contrast with the sibling list_photo_scout_prices, though the discovery-vs-pricing scope is self-evidently different.

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?

Usage is only implied through the two supported modes ("nearby or along a walking/driving route"), which does hint at when each input shape applies. There is no explicit when-to-use, when-not-to-use, or alternative tool guidance, and nothing tells the agent when to prefer the simple top-level params over searchProgram/requirements.

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