starbucks_nearest_store

Find the closest Starbucks to any latitude and longitude. Returns the nearest store's coordinates and distance, using Starbucks' own store locator data.

Instructions

Locate the closest Starbucks to a coordinate. Returns the coordinates and distance of the single closest Starbucks store to a point. Both lat and lng are required. This endpoint returns coordinates only, not store details: it is what Starbucks' own store locator uses to centre its map. Use /starbucks/stores for full store records. A point with no nearby store returns a well-formed result with found set to false rather than an error. market selects which Starbucks country site answers, one of us or ca, defaulting to us.

TDQS

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It explains that only coordinates and distance are returned, that the endpoint powers Starbucks' own store locator, and that a no-nearby-store case returns found=false rather than an error. This is strong, useful behavioral context.

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?

The description is four sentences with no filler. It front-loads the main purpose and each sentence adds distinct value: return scope, sibling alternative, no-match behavior, and market default.

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?

For a simple three-parameter lookup with no output schema, the description covers purpose, return values, no-match behavior, and market options. It stops short of specifying distance units or the exact shape of the returned coordinates, so it is nearly but not fully complete.

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 schema already documents lat, lng, and market with enum and default. The description adds little beyond restating that lat and lng are required and clarifying that market selects the country site, so the 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?

The description opens with a specific verb and resource: 'Locate the closest Starbucks to a coordinate.' It then states exactly what is returned and explicitly contrasts itself with /starbucks/stores, so an agent can distinguish this tool from its sibling.

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?

The description gives clear when-to-use guidance and names the alternative: 'Use /starbucks/stores for full store records.' It also clarifies the market parameter's role and default, leaving no ambiguity about when this endpoint is appropriate.

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