Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
avoidNoRoute features to avoid. May increase travel time. Options: 'tollRoads','motorways','ferries','unpavedRoads','carpools','alreadyUsedRoads'. Accepts array of string(s).
originYesStarting point for reachable area calculation. Typically current location or point of interest.
reportNoSpecifies which data should be reported for diagnostic purposes. A possible value is: effectiveSettings. Reports the effective parameters or data used when calling the API. In the case of defaulted parameters, the default will be reflected where the parameter was not specified by the caller. Default value: effectiveSettings
trafficNoInclude real-time traffic data for more accurate reachable area calculation.
departAtNoDeparture time in ISO format (e.g., '2025-06-24T14:30:00Z').
hillinessNoPreference for avoiding hills. Use 'low' for flatter routes. This can be only used when `routeType` parameter is set to `thrilling`.
routeTypeNoRoute optimization: 'fastest' (time-optimized), 'shortest' (distance-optimized), 'eco' (fuel-efficient).
travelModeNoTravel mode affects reachable area shape. Default: 'car'. Note: Pedestrian/bicycle modes not supported by API.
windingnessNoPreference for avoiding winding roads. Use 'low' for straighter routes. This can be only used when `routeType` parameter is set to `thrilling`.
vehicleWidthNoVehicle width in meters. Used to avoid narrow roads.
vehicleHeightNoVehicle height in meters. Used to avoid low bridges.
vehicleLengthNoVehicle length in meters. Affects maneuverability restrictions.

TDQS

B3.2/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations are rich (readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false), so the bar is lower. The description 'determine the area reachable' is consistent with a read-only operation and doesn't contradict the annotations. However, it adds essentially no behavioral context beyond what the annotations already declare — no mention of response format, boundaries, or calculation characteristics.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

A single, front-loaded sentence with no wasted words — efficient and to the point. It's appropriately terse for a tool whose schema carries all the parameter documentation, though it could arguably add one clause about scope without becoming verbose.

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

Completeness3/5

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

Given the tool's complexity (41 parameters, no output schema), the one-sentence description is minimal. The schema compensates well by documenting every parameter including budget exclusivity and required companions. However, the description doesn't mention that origin is required or that exactly one budget parameter must be supplied — important usage constraints an agent would benefit from knowing up front.

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% and the schema itself documents all 41 parameters thoroughly, including critical constraints like 'Use ONLY ONE budget parameter — do not combine with other budget types' and 'REQUIRED companions' for energy/fuel budgets. With full schema coverage, baseline 3 applies and the description correctly adds no redundant param info.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description 'Determine the area reachable within a specified time or driving distance' states a specific verb (determine) and resource (area reachable), clearly conveying the isochrone/reachability concept. However, it doesn't differentiate itself from routing siblings like tomtom-routing or tomtom-waypoint-routing, which could also involve travel time/distance — so it's clear but not distinct.

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?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It never mentions that this is for area-based reachability (isochrones) rather than point-to-point routing, nor names any sibling as an alternative. The 'specified time or driving distance' phrasing could even confuse an agent into choosing this over tomtom-routing.

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