get_tile_style_url

Retrieve a MapLibre GL style URL for rendering Mapsi map tiles. Supports multiple visual styles like light, dark, streets, and topo for use in MapLibre GL JS or Mapbox-compatible libraries.

Instructions

Get the MapLibre GL style URL for Mapsi map tiles.

Returns: { style_url, usage_note, maplibre_example }.

AUTH NOTE: Tile auth uses ?key= query param in the URL, NOT the X-API-Key header. This is intentional — tile URLs must be usable in browser tags and MapLibre without exposing headers.

STYLES:

  • light: Minimal, pale, ideal for data overlays (default)

  • dark: Dark mode, high contrast for dashboards

  • streets: Full street detail, labels, transit

  • topo: Terrain/elevation shading, ideal for outdoor apps

  • grayscale: Monochrome, for color-coded data layers

  • white/black: Blank canvas for custom styling

  • liberty: Colorful OSM-inspired style

USE FOR: Initializing MapLibre GL JS, React Map GL, Mapbox-compatible libraries.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
styleNoMap visual style. Default: light.
api_keyYesMapsi API key. Will be embedded in the returned URL as a ?key= param.
Behavior4/5

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

Discloses auth mechanism (key in URL, not header), return structure, and style options. No annotations provided, making description the sole source. Covers read-only nature implicitly.

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-organized with sections for returns, auth, styles, and usage. Every sentence adds value without redundancies.

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?

Complete given no output schema: explains return fields, all style variants, and auth. No significant gaps.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Adds context beyond schema: explains api_key embedding as ?key= param and describes each style briefly. Schema coverage is 100%, but description enhances understanding.

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 states the tool retrieves a MapLibre GL style URL for Mapsi tiles, listing return fields and style options. Distinct from sibling get_static_map_url.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

Explicitly states use case 'for initializing MapLibre GL JS, React Map GL' and lists styles. Lacks direct when-not-to-use guidance but is specific enough.

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