Places / solar / aerial-view lookups (pay-per-call)

places.lookup
Read-onlyIdempotent

Places, solar, and aerial-view lookups, paid per call directly from the caller's own wallet via the x402 protocol — no Abstraxn account needed. Pick one action:

  • text_search_full ($0.08): full-detail place text search. Requires textQuery. Optional maxResultCount (1-5, default 5), excludeFields (default ["photos"]), pageToken, locationBias ({circle:{center:{latitude,longitude},radius}}), includedType, languageCode (default "en"), openNow, minRating (0-5), priceLevels.

  • text_search_partial ($0.02): same as text_search_full but returns fewer fields per place — cheaper for quick lookups. Same parameters.

  • nearby_search_full ($0.08): full-detail search for places within a radius. Requires locationRestriction ({circle:{center:{latitude,longitude},radius (0-50000)}}) — do NOT send a bare top-level latitude/longitude/radius. Optional includedTypes/excludedTypes (max 50 each), maxResultCount (1-5, default 5), excludeFields (default ["photos"]), languageCode (default "en"), rankPreference (POPULARITY default, or DISTANCE).

  • nearby_search_partial ($0.02): same as nearby_search_full, fewer fields, cheaper. Same parameters.

  • place_details_full ($0.05): full details for one place. Requires placeId — the exact place id returned by an earlier text_search/nearby_search result; do not invent or guess it. Optional excludeFields (default ["photos"]), languageCode (default "en").

  • place_details_partial ($0.02): same as place_details_full, fewer fields, cheaper. Same parameters.

  • solar_building_insights ($0.02): rooftop solar potential for one location. Requires latitude (-90..90) and longitude (-180..180). Optional requiredQuality (LOW/MEDIUM/HIGH, default HIGH).

  • solar_data_layers ($0.08): raw solar data layers for an area. Requires latitude, longitude. Optional radiusMeters (0.1-175, default 50), view (default "FULL_LAYERS"), requiredQuality (default HIGH), pixelSizeMeters (default 0.25, documented as one of 0.1/0.25/0.5/1.0 but not schema-enforced), exactQualityRequired (default false).

  • solar_rgb_image ($0.05): renders one of the solar_data_layers assets as a viewable image. Either id (the exact asset id already returned by an earlier solar_data_layers call — "Mode A"; do not invent or guess it) OR both latitude and longitude ("Mode B") is required — provide exactly one mode, not both. Optional radiusMeters (0.1-100, default 30, Mode B only), layer (default "rgb"), month (1-12), hour (0-23), format (png/jpeg, default png), scale (1-2, default 1), crop (default false), quality (1-100, default 85).

  • aerial_view_lookup_video ($0.01): check whether a rendered aerial-view video already exists / poll its render status. Exactly one of address or videoId is required — videoId must be the exact value returned by an earlier aerial_view_render_video call; do not invent or guess it.

  • aerial_view_render_video ($0.01): kick off rendering a new aerial-view video for an address. Requires address. Poll aerial_view_lookup_video with the returned videoId until ready.

Pagination: text_search_full/partial and nearby_search_full/partial return nextPageToken when more results exist — repeat the ORIGINAL call (same textQuery / locationRestriction / etc.) with pageToken set to page further. pageToken must be the exact nextPageToken value from that earlier response — do not invent or guess it. excludeFields: colon-separated nested-path syntax trims nested response fields, e.g. "organization:technologies" excludes just that sub-field. All place-search/details actions default-exclude photos if excludeFields is omitted — pass excludeFields: [] to include photos.

Prices above are indicative — the exact charge for a given call is always whatever the live payment challenge specifies for that request. The first call (no paymentPayload) returns paymentRequired; retry with the same arguments plus paymentPayload to complete payment and get the real result.

A5/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Discloses the two-step payment flow (paymentRequired → retry with paymentPayload), exact pricing per action, default excludeFields behavior, and the nuance that pixelSizeMeters is not schema-enforced. Adds significant behavioral context beyond the readOnly/idempotent hints, with no contradictions.

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?

Dense but well-organized: payment model first, then each action on its own line with all applicable params and defaults. No fluff; every sentence carries operational value. Length is justified given 34 parameters and 11 actions.

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?

Fully covers the tool's complexity: payment, per-action requirements, exclusions, pagination, mode selection, and conventions not enforced by schema. Output schema exists, so return values need no explanation. Nothing critical is missing.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters5/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Although schema coverage is 100%, the description adds meaning: per-action required/optional grouping, defaults, allowed ranges, mode conditionality (id OR lat/lng), and nested structures (locationBias/locationRestriction). This surpasses baseline by clarifying relationships between parameters.

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?

Description names a specific combined resource (Places/solar/aerial-view lookups) and enumerates 11 distinct actions with precise verbs and parameters. Clearly distinguishes from sibling tools that cover crypto, network, social, travel, and web3 domains.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Provides explicit when-to-use guidance: partial vs full actions, text vs nearby search, rendering vs polling, page token repetition rules, and exactly-one-mode constraints. Emphasizes do-not-invent ids and correct structure of locationRestriction, giving clear exclusions and alternatives.

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

Tools are broadly distinct by domain (market, network, social, travel, web3), but some overlap exists between market.crypto and network.token_price (both provide token prices), and between network.token_info and web3.lookup's token_metadata action. However, the descriptions clarify the differences well.

Naming Consistency3/5

Tool names use a domain.subdomain pattern (e.g., market.crypto, network.gas_info), but the subdomains mix styles: dots (market.crypto), underscores (network.token_info), and plain names (travel.search). Additionally, actions within tools like 'places.lookup' have inconsistent naming (text_search_full vs. solar_building_insights).

Tool Count4/5

With 11 tools covering diverse domains (crypto, network, places, social, travel, web3), the count is reasonable. However, some tools encapsulate many actions (e.g., market.crypto has 6 actions, places.lookup has 12), hinting at a slightly heavy surface, but overall it fits the broad scope.

Completeness4/5

The tool set covers core workflows for each domain: crypto market data, network operations (block, gas, transfers, tokens), place search, social profile lookup, travel search, and web3 lookups. Minor gaps exist (e.g., no tool for sending transactions or managing user accounts), but the stated purpose (agent layer for diverse tasks) is mostly fulfilled.
