tool_search_activities

Search for activities and attractions near GPS coordinates. Returns a list of places with names, categories, and descriptions.

Instructions

Search activities and attractions near a GPS coordinate using Wikidata/OpenTripMap.

Read-only. No auth required. No rate limits. Data source: Wikidata with OpenTripMap fallback — community-curated, not real-time. Returns a list of places each with name, category, coordinates, description, and Wikipedia link where available.

Use this when you have coordinates (from tool_geocode) and need nearby things to do. Use tool_search_restaurants_bars specifically for dining. Use tool_get_local_events for time-sensitive events like concerts or festivals. Not suitable for business hours or current pricing — those change frequently.

Args: latitude: Decimal latitude (e.g., 48.8566 for Paris) longitude: Decimal longitude (e.g., 2.3522 for Paris) radius_km: Search radius in km, 1-50 category: Filter by type — culture, nature, food, shopping, nightlife, architecture, historic, museums, religion, sport — or omit for all max_results: Max places to return, 1-50

Behavior5/5

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

Discloses read-only nature, no auth, no rate limits, data source (Wikidata/OpenTripMap), non-real-time, and unsuitability for business hours/pricing. No annotations provided; description carries full burden excellently.

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?

Well-structured with clear sections: purpose, properties, usage, args. Every sentence adds value without redundancy.

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?

Despite no output schema, description covers return format (list with name, category, coordinates, description, Wikipedia link), usage context, limitations, and parameter details.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters5/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

With 0% schema coverage, the description adds detailed explanations for all 5 parameters with examples and constraints, fully compensating

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?

Clearly specifies 'Search activities and attractions near a GPS coordinate' with verb and resource. Distinguishes from sibling tools like tool_search_restaurants_bars and tool_get_local_events.

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?

Explicitly states when to use (when coordinates from tool_geocode and need nearby things to do) and when to use alternatives (dining -> tool_search_restaurants_bars, events -> tool_get_local_events).

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