Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| lookup_ifscA | Get bank branch details (bank, branch, address, MICR, UPI/NEFT/IMPS/RTGS support) for an 11-character IFSC code such as 'HDFC0000001'. |
| lookup_pincodeA | List the post offices, district and state for a 6-digit Indian PIN code. |
| get_air_qualityA | Get current air quality (AQI and pollutant levels) for an Indian city, e.g. 'Bengaluru' or 'Delhi'. Values are modelled estimates, not a ground-station reading. |
| aqi_by_pincodeA | Get current air quality for the area covered by a 6-digit Indian PIN code (for example '110001' for central Delhi). Uses the PIN's district to locate it, so the result is district-level, not street-level. |

Scored across 4 tools
Each tool targets a distinct input type: IFSC codes, PIN codes, and city names. The only potential confusion is between get_air_quality and aqi_by_pincode, but the descriptions clearly differentiate city-level vs district-level lookups and explain the resolution mechanism.
Two tools use a clean lookup_ prefix (lookup_ifsc, lookup_pincode), but the AQI tools deviate: get_air_quality uses a different verb and aqi_by_pincode drops the verb entirely. The pattern is still readable and mostly predictable, just not uniform.
Four tools is well-scoped for a focused reference server, and each tool earns its place by covering a distinct lookup need without redundancy.
The read-only surface covers the key reference lookups (IFSC, PIN, AQI by city and by PIN) with no dead ends for the stated purpose. Minor gaps exist, such as searching banks by name or resolving a place name to PIN codes, but agents can largely work around them.
