get_transaction_transit

Read-only

Check public-transport access for a real estate transaction’s linked plots, returning nearest stop distance by rail, metro, tram, or bus mode and the nearest stop name.

Instructions

Use it to check public-transport access to one transaction's land: for each linked plot, the nearest stop distance by mode (rail/metro within 3000 m, tram 1500 m, bus 1000 m) from open GTFS data, plus the nearest stop's name per mode present. No stop within its cap in any mode returns nothing - absence of a row is never "no transit access" (open feeds cover cities and national rail, not every rural area). Cost: 4 tokens (refunded when there is no transit data).

TDQS

A4.4/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly/non-destructive, but the description adds substantial context beyond them: the exact per-mode distance caps, the GTFS data source, the cost of 4 tokens with a refund on empty results, and the critical negative-result semantics. That last point prevents the agent from misreading an empty response as 'no transit access'.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Front-loaded with purpose, then thresholds, then the negative-result caveat and cost — every sentence carries information. It is dense but not padded; the parenthetical threshold list is the only spot that feels compressed rather than tight.

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?

With no output schema, the description still explains the return shape (distance per mode, nearest stop name per mode present), the row-per-linked-plot granularity, and what an empty result means. Combined with the cost note, an agent has everything needed to call and interpret it.

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 coverage is 50%: transaction_id is documented in the schema, but the alias transactionId has no description and the two-parameter/zero-required arrangement is ambiguous. The description implies a transaction identifier is needed but never explains the duplicate alias or which to supply, leaving the schema to carry that burden alone.

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: check public-transport access for one transaction's linked plots, returning nearest stop distance per mode plus stop names. This is clearly distinguishable from neighboring tools like get_transaction_roads or get_transaction_surroundings.

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?

Opens with an explicit use case ('Use it to check public-transport access to one transaction's land'), which tells the agent when to reach for it. It does not name an alternative tool or state when not to use it, so it stops short of full routing guidance.

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