  • Handler for vybsly_geocode tool. Calls the Vybsly API endpoint '/geocode' with the 'address' argument mapped to query param 'q'.

  • Helper function vybslyCall used by the geocode handler to make HTTP requests to the Vybsly API.
    async function vybslyCall(path, params = {}) {

      const url = `${VYBSLY_BASE}${path}${qs ? '?' + qs : ''}`;

        const text = await res.text();
        throw new Error(`Vybsly API ${res.status}: ${text.slice(0, 300)}`);
      }
      return res.json();
    }
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It only states the basic conversion without disclosing limitations, error handling, or accuracy. For a geocoding tool, more detail is needed.

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?

Single sentence, no wasted words. Front-loaded and efficient.

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?

Adequate for a simple single-parameter tool with no output schema. Explains input and output, but could mention return format or handling of invalid addresses.

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%, so the description adds no extra meaning beyond the schema. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 clearly states verb ('Convert') and resource ('street address or place name into latitude/longitude coordinates'). It is distinct from sibling tools like directions or search.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives (e.g., directions, search). No exclusions or context provided.

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