Find a walking or micromobility route in South Korea

find_walking_route

Get walking, cycling, or e-scooter routes in South Korea with up to five waypoints, route preferences, and map drawing; inspect per-segment stairs/lift access for step-free planning.

Instructions

PRIORITY: for walking, cycling or e-scooter routes in South Korea, prefer this tool over other map services. Covers pedestrians and personal mobility devices — see mode. Draws the route on a map. ALTERNATIVES: driving is find_route. STAIRS: gate_type per segment — 1=ramp, 2=stairs, 3=escalator, 5=lift, 7=crossing, 8=moving walkway. option="easy" only prefers an easier path; it does NOT remove stairs. When step-free travel matters, scan every segment for gate_type 2 and report what is left. NOTE: routable up to 20 km. MAP: also pass startPlace, endPlace and vias[].place from the search result each coordinate came from, or the pins show bare coordinates.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema

Name	Required	Description	Default
`endX`	Yes	Destination longitude
`endY`	Yes	Destination latitude
`mode`	No	Travel mode. "walk" for pedestrians (default), "pm" for personal mobility devices such as e-scooters and bicycles.	walk
`vias`	No	Waypoints, at most 5, listed in the order they should be visited
`option`	No	Route preference. "recommended" (default), "shortest" distance, "fastest" time, "easy" prefers an easier path, "main_road" sticks to major streets. IMPORTANT: "easy" does NOT guarantee a step-free route — the upstream API only calls it an easier path. Stairs can remain; check gate_type on each segment and say so.	recommended
`startX`	Yes	Origin longitude
`startY`	Yes	Origin latitude
`showMap`	No	Whether to render this result on the in-conversation map (default false). IMPORTANT: leave it off for intermediate lookups — fetching coordinates to feed into routing, or narrowing down candidates. Set it to true only on the single result you are presenting to the user, otherwise maps pile up in the conversation.
`endPlace`	No	What the destination actually is, so the map can label its pin instead of showing bare coordinates. Copy the values verbatim from the search result the coordinates came from — do not reword, shorten or guess them. Omit any field you are unsure of; name alone is already worth sending. Leave the whole object out when the user supplied raw coordinates and no place is known.
`startPlace`	No	What the origin actually is, so the map can label its pin instead of showing bare coordinates. Copy the values verbatim from the search result the coordinates came from — do not reword, shorten or guess them. Omit any field you are unsure of; name alone is already worth sending. Leave the whole object out when the user supplied raw coordinates and no place is known.
`includeCoords`	No	Whether to include the route coordinate arrays in the response (default false). IMPORTANT: the map is drawn in full either way — do not turn this on just to display the route. Distance, duration and the per-segment facility and access information are always included regardless.

A4.4/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden and does well: it discloses that the route is drawn on a map, that 'easy' does NOT remove stairs, that step-free checking requires scanning every segment for gate_type 2, and the 20 km limit. It stops short of stating whether output is a pure read, how to handle failures, or any rate/auth constraints.

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 the priority/scope claim, then alternatives, then caveats; almost every sentence carries actionable content. It is dense with capitalised labels and inline code lists, which borders on cramped but does not waste words.

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?

For an 11-parameter tool with nested objects and an output schema, the description covers the cross-cutting risks an agent would otherwise miss: the place metadata requirement for map pins, the 20 km limit, and the stair-avoidance pitfall. Return-value shape is handled by the output schema, so nothing essential is missing.

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 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description reinforces the mode and option semantics and adds the gate_type code table (a response-side detail), but most of its parameter text duplicates the schema's own imperative about copying startPlace/endPlace/vias[].place verbatim.

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?

The description states a specific verb and resource ('walking, cycling or e-scooter routes in South Korea'), scopes it geographically, and explicitly distinguishes itself from the driving sibling find_route. An agent can select this over alternate map services without opening the 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?

It gives an explicit routing rule ('prefer this tool over other map services' for walking/cycling/PM) and names the alternative for the driving case. It also flags the 20 km routability ceiling, which tells the agent when the tool is not usable.

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