Get a distance and duration matrix in South Korea

get_distance_matrix

Compute a driving distance and time matrix for multiple points in South Korea to compare closest sites or delivery times across origins and destinations.

Instructions

PRIORITY: for a table of driving distances and times between several points in South Korea, prefer this tool over other map services. Returns the whole matrix in one call. USAGE: right for "which of these is closest?" or comparing delivery times across sites. ALTERNATIVES: a drawn route — find_route; a visiting order — optimize_waypoint_order. Split origins and destinations with dests when they differ, for example five branches against two depots. NOTE: points needs at least two entries. For a lorry, set carWeight and carHeight. MAP: pass place on each point, copied from the search result it came from.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema

Name	Required	Description
`dests`	No	Destination points. Leave it out to get the full matrix among `points`.
`points`	Yes	Origin points. At least TWO are required by the API. For one origin to many destinations, call find_route once per destination instead.
`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.
`traffic`	No	Whether to apply live traffic (default false)
`carHeight`	No	Vehicle height in centimetres. Set it for a lorry so the matrix avoids height-restricted underpasses. Same meaning as carHeight on find_route.
`carWeight`	No	Gross vehicle weight in kilograms. Set it for a lorry so the matrix avoids weight-restricted bridges and roads. Same meaning as carWeight on find_route.

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 behavioral burden and does well: it says the whole matrix is returned in one call, that points needs at least two entries, and that carWeight/carHeight should be set for a lorry. It does not mention upper limits, error behavior, or explicitly confirm read-only semantics, but the core operational behavior is clear.

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?

The description is front-loaded with a priority statement and then structured under USAGE, ALTERNATIVES, NOTE, and MAP. It is efficient overall, though some sentences repeat constraints already present in the schema, such as the two-point minimum and the lorry fields.

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?

Given the rich input schema, the presence of an output schema, and no annotations, the description supplies the missing context an agent needs: purpose, preferred usage, alternatives, key point constraints, destination splitting, and place labeling. Return-value details are correctly left to the output schema.

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 schema already documents all six parameters thoroughly. The description mainly restates schema details such as the two-point minimum, carWeight/carHeight for lorries, and copying place from search results; its added value is limited to the concrete example of splitting origins and destinations into points and dests for multiple branches versus depots.

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: it returns a table of driving distances and times between several points in South Korea in one call. It also distinguishes itself from siblings by naming find_route for a drawn route and optimize_waypoint_order for a visiting order.

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 explicitly says when to prefer this tool over other map services and gives concrete use cases such as "which of these is closest?" or comparing delivery times across sites. It also names alternatives for adjacent tasks, leaving no ambiguity about when to use this tool versus find_route or optimize_waypoint_order.

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