search_presets
Find predefined OpenStreetMap feature templates by name, tags, or geometry type to discover how to tag specific map features correctly.
Instructions
Search for OpenStreetMap presets by name, tags, or geometry type. Presets are predefined feature templates that define how specific types of features should be tagged (e.g., 'Restaurant' preset defines standard tags for restaurants). Supports filtering by preset name keywords, specific tag filters, and geometry type (point/line/area/relation). Returns matching presets with their names, primary tags, geometry types, and match scores. Use this to find the correct preset for a feature type, discover how to tag specific features, or explore available feature templates in OSM.
Input Schema
TableJSON Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| keyword | Yes | Optional keyword to search in preset names (e.g., 'restaurant', 'park', 'school'). Case-insensitive search that matches against preset display names. Leave empty to search by tags or geometry only. | |
| limit | No | (Deprecated: use options.limit instead) Maximum number of preset results to return (optional, no default limit). Use this to get faster responses when you only need a few results, or to avoid overwhelming output when searching broad terms. Example: limit=10 returns only the first 10 matches. | |
| geometry | No | (Deprecated: use options.geometry instead) Filter results to only presets that support a specific geometry type (optional). Valid values: 'point' (nodes/POIs), 'vertex' (nodes along ways), 'line' (open ways like roads/rivers), 'area' (closed ways/areas like buildings/parks), 'relation' (complex features). Example: geometry='area' returns only presets that can be applied to area features. | |
| options | No | Options to control search behavior and output: 'limit' restricts the maximum number of results returned. |
