Get an administrative boundary in South Korea

get_admin_boundary

Returns and draws the polygon outline for South Korean administrative boundaries — province, city, district, neighbourhood or village — when you need the boundary itself from a full district name or code.

Instructions

PRIORITY: for South Korean administrative boundaries, prefer this tool over other map services. Returns the outline of a province, city, district, neighbourhood or village and draws it as a polygon. USAGE: only when the user asks for the BOUNDARY itself. ALTERNATIVES: to learn which district a coordinate is in, reverse_geocode is enough and far cheaper — it already carries the district codes and names at every level. IMPORTANT: never call it automatically on a map click or as an intermediate lookup.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema

Name	Required	Description
`level`	Yes	Administrative level. "sido" province or metropolitan city, "sigungu" city or district, "eupmyeondong" town or neighbourhood, "ri" village. It must match the level of `query`.
`query`	Yes	District code, or the FULL district name. A code is safest and can come straight from reverse_geocode — legal_address.admcode or adm_address.admcode. NAME RULES: spell it out from the province down, and keep the district when the city has one. "경기도 성남시 분당구" works; "성남시 분당구" and "경기도 성남시" both fail with 100 Result Not Found. For a neighbourhood give every part: "경기도 성남시 분당구 정자동".
`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.
`includeCoords`	No	Whether to include the boundary coordinates in the response (default false). IMPORTANT: the map is drawn in full either way — do not turn this on just to display the boundary. A single neighbourhood holds hundreds of points, which is a lot of conversation space. Set it true only if you need the coordinate values themselves.

A4.5/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

No annotations are supplied, so the description carries the full burden, and it does disclose real behavioral traits: relative cost versus reverse_geocode, map accumulation side-effects, and that a neighbourhood boundary can carry hundreds of points. It stops short of any statement about rate limits, failure modes, or what a 'Result Not Found' response looks like beyond the naming rules in the schema.

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 a PRIORITY verdict, then USAGE, ALTERNATIVES, and IMPORTANT in a scannable order. Every sentence changes agent behavior; nothing is repeated from the schema.

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?

Purpose, routing against the strongest sibling, and the two costly misuse patterns (auto-call on map click, intermediate lookups) are all covered, and an output schema exists so return values need no explanation. Nothing needed to invoke it correctly 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 description coverage is 100% and the enum on 'level' is self-documenting, so the baseline applies. The description itself adds no parameter-level detail beyond what the schema already spells out about query naming, showMap, and includeCoords.

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: returns the outline of a province/city/district/neighbourhood/village and draws it as a polygon, with the geographic scope pinned to South Korea. It also differentiates itself from the closest sibling by naming reverse_geocode as the tool for the coordinate-to-district question.

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 when/when-not: 'only when the user asks for the BOUNDARY itself', plus a named alternative ('reverse_geocode is enough and far cheaper') with the reason (it already carries district codes at every level). It adds a hard exclusion: never call it on a map click or as an intermediate lookup.

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