find_nearby_experiences

Read-onlyIdempotent

Use this when the client already holds exact latitude and longitude coordinates and wants experiences near that point. When only a place name, landmark, or neighbourhood is known, use search_local_experiences, which accepts coarse place hints and needs no coordinates.

Input Schema

Name	Required	Description	Default
`limit`	No	Number of results to return (1-50). Default 10.
`format`	No	Response shape. 'json' returns structured records; 'text' returns the same content rendered as a short narrative paragraph for chat surfaces.	json
`category`	No	Optional category slug.
`language`	No	BCP-47 language code for human-readable fields (e.g., 'en', 'fr-FR'). Defaults to English when omitted.
`latitude`	Yes	Latitude coordinate.
`longitude`	Yes	Longitude coordinate.
`radius_km`	No	Search radius in kilometres.

TDQS

A4.2/5.0

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds the useful input prerequisite (exact coordinates required) but says nothing about radius defaults, result ordering, or how the openWorldHint=false closed-world constraint plays out. Adequate, not rich.

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 sentences, zero waste, and the primary use condition is front-loaded before the fallback tool is introduced.

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 an output schema present, return values need no explanation, and the routing rule is complete. The only shortfall is silence on radius/limit defaults and result ordering, which the schema partially covers but which would help an agent choose sensible values.

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% and every parameter carries its own description, including limit bounds, format enum meanings, and radius defaults, so the schema does the heavy lifting. The description only reinforces that latitude/longitude must be exact rather than approximate, which is marginal added meaning. Baseline 3 applies.

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 (find experiences) plus the precise scope condition (near an exact lat/long point). It explicitly contrasts itself with search_local_experiences, so an agent can route between them without opening either schema.

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?

Gives both sides of the decision rule: use this when exact coordinates are held, use search_local_experiences when only a place name, landmark, or neighbourhood is known. The alternative is named and the selecting condition is stated.

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