Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| 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_indicesB | 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. You must provide the base query. The server automatically wraps it in a bbox filter and returns structured JSON. COMMON TAG EXAMPLES:
|
| 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_h3A | Executes an Overpass query and bins the results into H3 hexagons at a specified resolution to analyze spatial density. |
