Get DAP navigation links

casda_get_dap_navigation
Read-onlyIdempotent

Builds CASDA DAP deep links for data search and provides structured error responses for unsupported privileged actions.

Instructions

Return DAP deep links and structured unsupported privileged actions.

Constructs documented public HTTPS URLs only. Does not scrape DAP HTML, accept licences, mint DOIs, assign roles, deposit Level 7 data, release observations, or launch CARTA. Read casda://dap/navigation for template summary.

Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint. The description adds that it constructs public HTTPS URLs only and never performs HTTP mutation, providing extra behavioral context beyond annotations.

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?

The description is three sentences, front-loaded with purpose, then limitations, then a reference. Every sentence adds value with no redundancy.

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 tool's read-only nature, full annotations, complete schema, and presence of output schema, the description provides sufficient context including what it returns, what it doesn't do, and hints for further documentation.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds meaningful context for the action parameter, listing allowed values and stating they are for structured refusal. This goes beyond the schema description.

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 clearly states it returns DAP deep links and structured unsupported privileged actions, using a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from siblings by listing what it does not do, such as scraping HTML or performing mutations.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description lists what the tool does not do, giving implicit guidance on when not to use it. However, it does not explicitly name sibling tools as alternatives, missing a clear when-to-use vs when-not-to-use statement.

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