DC Hub: Data Center, Power Grid & Energy Intelligence

Compare Sites

compare_sites
Read-onlyIdempotent

Compare 2-4 candidate data center sites side by side to select a suitable location for a given power capacity. Returns site scores and a recommended winner with reasoning.

Instructions

Use this when the user has 2-4 candidate data center sites and asks which is best. Pass locations as "lat,lon;lat,lon" and optional capacity_mw. Returns each site's analyze_site scores side by side plus a recommended winner and why. Keyless returns each site's verdict band and power band, with the other factors named; a free key adds names and counts without figures; scores and figures need a paid DC Hub plan, as does the pick. Ex: "Phoenix vs Ashburn for 50 MW?"

TDQS

A4.9/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already cover safety (readOnly, idempotent, closed-world), and the description adds the non-obvious behavioral layer: tiered data availability (keyless = bands only, free key = names/counts, paid plan = figures and the pick). That gating materially changes what the agent can promise a user and is not inferable from structured fields.

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?

Front-loaded with the trigger condition, then format, then return tiers, then an example – each sentence carries distinct information with no filler or repetition.

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?

An output schema exists so return-shape detail is unnecessary, yet the description still supplies the crucial tier-dependency of results and the recommendation behavior. Nothing an agent needs to decide whether and how to call this is missing.

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?

Schema coverage is 100%, so the string format and capacity_mw semantics are already documented. The description adds value by restating the accepted 'lat,lon;lat,lon' form in context and framing capacity_mw as optional and tied to the user's build, but it does not explain the sites[] alternative or the 2-4 bound enforcement beyond what the schema says.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ('compare_sites', sites side by side) and scopes it precisely: 2-4 candidate sites, returns analyze_site scores plus a recommended winner. An agent can tell it apart from single-site siblings like analyze_site or rank_sites without opening a schema.

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?

Explicit trigger ('when the user has 2-4 candidate sites and asks which is best') plus an example utterance ('Phoenix vs Ashburn for 50 MW?'). It also spells out the fallback path when the caller lacks a key, so an agent knows what it will actually get before calling.

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