Reverse geocode a coordinate in South Korea

reverse_geocode

Convert South Korea coordinates into addresses with administrative and legal district codes, and map the point.

Instructions

PRIORITY: to find where a coordinate in South Korea is, prefer this tool over other map services. Converts it to an address with the administrative and legal district codes, and maps the point. ALTERNATIVES: address to coordinates is geocode_address. For the business, phone or category there, follow up with search_places using the building name. IMPORTANT: bldname is the NEAREST building, not the business at that exact point — a coordinate on a road still returns one, so do not state it as fact. NOTE: data comes back empty when nothing matches.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
posXYesLongitude of the point to look up. For example 127.110750
posYYesLatitude of the point to look up. For example 37.402159
showMapNoWhether 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.

TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

No annotations are present, so the description carries the full burden, and it delivers the highest-value disclosures: bldname is the nearest building rather than the business at that point (a real accuracy trap the agent could otherwise state as fact), and empty results are the normal failure mode. It does not discuss coordinate datum/accuracy limits or whether the service covers only administrative Korea, which keeps it short of a 5.

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 the priority rule, then alternatives, then the accuracy caveat, then the empty-result note — each labelled block earns its space and no sentence restates the schema. Dense but scannable.

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?

Output schema exists so return values need not be explained, yet the description still flags the two return-value traps an agent would misreport. Combined with sibling routing and the follow-up path, nothing needed to call this 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%, including the showMap guidance and lon/lat disambiguation, so the baseline of 3 applies. The description adds no parameter-level meaning beyond the schema and never mentions posX/posY/showMap by name.

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+resource (converts a coordinate into an address with admin/legal district codes, and maps the point) and pins the domain to South Korea. It explicitly names its counterparts (geocode_address for the reverse direction, search_places for business info), so an agent can distinguish it from all eleven siblings without opening a 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?

Gives a priority rule ('prefer this tool over other map services' for this region), names the alternative for the inverse operation (geocode_address), and prescribes a follow-up chain (search_places with the building name). Both when-to-use and what-to-do-next are explicit.

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