search_shelters

Find nearby shelters by providing coordinates or a city name. Filter by type, wheelchair accessibility, and search radius.

Instructions

Find nearby shelters. Provide lat/lon directly, or just a city name to auto-resolve coordinates.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
latNoLatitude of search center (optional if city is provided)

cityNoCity name (Hebrew or English) - auto-resolves to coordinates if lat/lon not provided
limitNoNumber of shelters to return (default 10)
radiusNoSearch radius in kilometers
wheelchairOnlyNoFilter wheelchair accessible shelters only
shelterTypeNoFilter by shelter type (e.g. 'public', 'private')
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations provided, so description must disclose behavior. It only states 'Find nearby shelters' without mentioning read-only nature, authentication, or output format. This is insufficient for a tool with 7 parameters.

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?

Description is a single, front-loaded sentence with no wasted words. Efficiently conveys purpose and key location options.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

No output schema provided. Description does not explain return format, ordering, pagination, or distance information. Incomplete for a search tool with multiple filters.

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% with descriptions for all 7 parameters. Description adds value by summarizing the two location methods (lat/lon vs city), but does not provide additional meaning beyond schema.

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?

Description clearly states 'Find nearby shelters' with specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools (alerts, stats) which have different focus.

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?

Description explains two ways to specify location: lat/lon directly or city name for auto-resolution. It provides clear usage context but does not explicitly mention when not to use or alternatives.

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