IP geolocation

ip_geolocation

Read-only

Locates a public IP address, or a domain resolved to one, at network level: country code, registry, announced prefix, PTR hostname and autonomous systems. Registry-based, so it names the network operator's country, which for hosted or CDN addresses differs from where a visitor or business is located; it is not a street address. Private and reserved addresses have no answer. Anonymous, rate-limited per IP.

TDQS

A4.1/5.0

Behavior5/5

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

Annotations only cover readOnlyHint and openWorldHint; the description adds the operationally important traits an agent needs: it is anonymous (no credentials) and rate-limited per IP, and private/reserved inputs produce no answer. It also explains the semantic limitation of the output (registry country vs. physical location), which no annotation conveys.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

Front-loads the core action and output facets, then moves through limitations and operating constraints. Four dense sentences with no filler, though the 'it is not a street address' clarification is slightly redundant with the preceding registry-country explanation.

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?

With an output schema present, return values need not be explained, and the description still covers input semantics, output caveats, empty-result cases, and auth/rate-limit behavior. An agent has everything needed to call it correctly and interpret the response.

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% for the single 'query' parameter, so the schema already documents the input. The description's elaboration that a domain is 'resolved to one' adds only marginal clarification over the schema's 'Public IP address or domain name', so the baseline 3 applies.

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?

Names a specific verb and resource ('locates a public IP address, or a domain resolved to one') and enumerates the returned facets (country code, registry, prefix, PTR hostname, ASNs). The 'at network level' framing separates it conceptually from registration tools like whois, but it never names a sibling despite clear overlap with asn_lookup and reverse_dns, so an agent still has to guess which tool wins.

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?

Gives strong context on when the result is and isn't meaningful: registry-based country reflects the network operator, not visitor/business location, and private/reserved addresses return nothing. What's missing is routing guidance against the 19 siblings, particularly asn_lookup and reverse_dns, which cover part of the same ground.

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