batch_geocode
Convert multiple place names to geographic coordinates in a single batch call, with per-query error handling and rate limit compliance.
Instructions
Geocode multiple place names in one call.
Each query is processed sequentially to respect Nominatim rate limits.
Individual failures don't abort the batch.
Args:
queries: JSON array of place names (e.g. '["Boulder, CO", "Denver, CO"]')
limit: Maximum results per query (default 1)
output_mode: "json" (default) or "text"
Returns:
Per-query results with coordinates, or error for failed queries
CRITICAL — LLM retry guidance:
If any query in the batch fails, re-run only the failed queries
with simplified names using the single geocode tool. Nominatim
works best with simple place names — remove landmarks, qualifiers,
and descriptive words before retrying.
