Get Weather

get_weather

Read-only

Get camping-specific 7-day weather forecast with suitability ratings and gear recommendations.

Uses Open-Meteo's commercial API to provide:

Daily high/low temps, conditions, precipitation, wind
Camping suitability rating per day (excellent/good/fair/poor/not_recommended)
Gear recommendations based on conditions
Safety warnings for extreme weather
Best camping days in the forecast period

Open-Meteo licenses this data under CC BY 4.0: the response carries an attribution field, and that credit must be shown wherever you present the forecast.

TDQS

A4.1/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

With annotations already declaring readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, the description adds meaningful context: it discloses the Open-Meteo data source, CC BY 4.0 licensing, and the required attribution field. It also lists output behavior such as safety warnings and best-day recommendations, going beyond the annotation baseline.

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 description is well-structured: a clear opening sentence, a scannable bullet list of outputs, and a concise licensing/attribution note. Every sentence provides useful information, and there is no filler.

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?

Given the tool's moderate complexity, the description covers the essential output fields (temps, precipitation, suitability ratings, gear recommendations, warnings, best days) and the attribution requirement. The presence of an output schema further supports completeness, though the description already explains return value semantics well.

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 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description does not add extra meaning to the parameters themselves; for instance, it does not explain how check_in_date/check_out_date influence the forecast, leaving that entirely to the schema.

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 clearly states 'Get camping-specific 7-day weather forecast with suitability ratings and gear recommendations.' It uses a specific verb and resource, and the 'camping-specific' qualifier distinguishes it from generic weather tools among the siblings.

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 implied through 'camping-specific' but there is no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance, nor mention of alternatives like the sibling 'check_safety' tool. It lacks clear exclusions or comparisons to other tools.

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

A4.1/5.0

Disambiguation4/5

Most tools have clearly distinct purposes (search, details, availability, weather, etc.), but build_packing_list and get_gear_for_campground both deal with gear recommendations, and check_safety overlaps with the safety section in get_campground_details. However, the descriptions are detailed enough for an agent to choose correctly.

Naming Consistency4/5

Tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern (build_, calculate_, check_, compare_, find_, get_, prepare_, search_) with the exception of health_check, which reverses the order and breaks the pattern. This is a minor deviation.

Tool Count5/5

13 tools is well-scoped for a comprehensive outdoor trip planning server, covering search, details, availability, weather, safety, gear, and reservations without being excessive or sparse.

Completeness5/5

The server provides end-to-end coverage for planning a camping trip: search and filter campgrounds, get rich details, check availability, prepare reservations, evaluate safety, weather, drive times, gear recommendations, and packing lists. The only missing capability (direct booking) is intentionally excluded due to operator restrictions.
