Tools

Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions

NameDescription
get_boundsA

Get converted coordinates for a bounding box or text location search. Supports parsing WKT, GeoJSON, ogrinfo extent, and raw coordinate strings. If MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN is not set, you MUST provide explicit coordinates via 'bbox'.

get_h3_indicesA

Get Uber H3 cell indices for a bounding box area at a target resolution. Input supports WKT, GeoJSON, ogrinfo extent, and raw coordinate strings.

generate_share_urlA

Generates a URL that links to the visual Bounding Box tool to display these coordinates on a map. Supports WKT, GeoJSON, ogrinfo extent, and raw coordinate strings as input.

search_overpassA

Execute an Overpass QL query to find POIs, roads, or other OSM features within a bounding box or radius. The server wraps your query in the appropriate spatial filter and returns structured JSON with a map link.

SEARCH MODES:

  • Bounding box (default): searches a rectangular area. Use for region/area queries ('hospitals in Manhattan', 'parks in downtown Seattle').

  • Circle: searches within an exact radius. Use ONLY when the user specifies an explicit distance ('within 2km of JFK', '500 metres from the Eiffel Tower', '1 mile from Times Square'). Omit radius_meters for vague terms like 'near' or 'close to'.

COMMON TAG EXAMPLES:

  • Restaurants: nwr["amenity"="restaurant"]

  • Pizza: nwr["amenity"="fast_food"]["cuisine"="pizza"]

  • Supermarkets: nwr["shop"="supermarket"]

  • Parks: nwr["leisure"="park"]

  • Hospitals: nwr["amenity"="hospital"]

  • Schools: nwr["amenity"="school"]

  • Parking: nwr["amenity"="parking"]

  • Highways/Roads: way["highway"]

list_osm_tagsA

Discovery tool to look up the correct OpenStreetMap tags for a given category. Helps prevent hallucinating incorrect tags before writing an Overpass query.

aggregate_overpass_h3B

Executes an Overpass query and bins the results into H3 hexagons at a specified resolution to analyze spatial density.
