Preview GeoJSON Data Tool

geojson_preview_tool
Read-onlyIdempotent

Generate a geojson.io URL to preview GeoJSON data. Provide a GeoJSON string to get a visualization link.

Instructions

Generate a geojson.io URL to visualize GeoJSON data. Returns only the URL link.

Input Schema

geojsonYesGeoJSON data as a JSON string (e.g., {"type": "Point", "coordinates": [-122.4194, 37.7749]})
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, and idempotentHint=true. The description adds value by stating it 'returns only the URL link,' clarifying the output format. However, it does not disclose behavior for invalid GeoJSON or rate limits, but given annotation coverage, a 3 is appropriate.

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?

Two sentences, zero fluff. Every word contributes meaning. Ideal length and structure for a simple tool.

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 low complexity (one parameter, no output schema, no nested objects), the description fully covers what the tool does and what it returns. No additional context is needed.

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% for the single parameter 'geojson', with a clear example in the schema. The description does not add extra parameter details beyond what the schema provides, so baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 the tool generates a geojson.io URL to visualize GeoJSON data, specifying the verb ('preview' from name, 'generate' in description) and resource (GeoJSON data as URL). This distinctly separates it from sibling tools like validate_geojson_tool or style preview tools.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, lacks context on prerequisites (e.g., valid GeoJSON), and does not mention when not to use it. It only states the tool's function without recommending scenarios.

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