Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
latYesLatitude coordinate (-90 to +90). Precision to 4+ decimal places recommended.
lonYesLongitude coordinate (-180 to +180). Precision to 4+ decimal places recommended.
ofsNoOffset for pagination of results
viewNoGeopolitical view for disputed territories. Options: 'Unified', 'AR', 'IL', 'IN', 'MA', 'PK', 'RU', 'TR', 'CN'
limitNoMaximum number of results to return (1-100). Default: 5
radiusNoSearch radius in meters. Default: 100
headingNoHeading direction in degrees (0-360) for improved accuracy on roads
roadUseNoTypes of road use to include in the results. Examples: 'Arterial', 'Ferry', 'Highway', etc.
languageNoPreferred language for results using IETF language tags. Examples: 'en-US', 'fr-FR', 'de-DE', 'es-ES'
mapcodesNoInclude mapcode information in the response. Mapcodes represent specific locations within a few meters and are designed to be short, easy to recognize and communicate. Options: Local, International, Alternative. Examples: 'Local' (local mapcode only), 'Local,Alternative' (multiple types). Accepts array of string(s).
timeZoneNoUsed to indicate the mode in which the timeZone object should be returned. Values: iana Mode shows the IANA ID which allows the user to determine the current time zone for the POI. Usage examples: timeZone=iana
countrySetNoLimit results to specific countries using ISO codes. Examples: 'US', 'FR,GB', 'CA,US'
geometriesNoInclude geometries information in the response
maxResultsNoMaximum results to return (alias for limit)
addressRangesNoInclude address ranges in the response
entityTypeSetNoFilter results by geographic entity types. Valid values: PostalCodeArea, CountryTertiarySubdivision, CountrySecondarySubdivision, MunicipalitySubdivision, MunicipalitySecondarySubdivision, Country, CountrySubdivision, Neighbourhood, Municipality. Note: This parameter is for geographic entities only, not POIs. For POI filtering, use categorySet instead
returnCommuneNoInclude commune information in the results
returnRoadUseNoInclude road use types for street level results
response_detailNoResponse detail level. 'compact' (default): trimmed response with essential fields only, saves tokens. 'full': complete API response with all fields including coordinates, classifications, etc.compact
returnMatchTypeNoInclude information about the type of geocoding match achieved
returnSpeedLimitNoInclude posted speed limit for street results
returnAddressNamesNoInclude address names in the response
allowFreeformNewLineNoAllow newlines in freeform addresses
extendedPostalCodesForNoInclude extended postal codes for specific index types. Examples: 'PAD', 'PAD,Addr', 'POI'
returnRoadAccessibilityNoInclude road accessibility information

TDQS

A3.6/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds no extra behavioral context, but it also does not contradict the annotations.

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?

The description is extremely concise and front-loaded with the main action. There is no redundant wording, though for a tool with 25 parameters a bit more orienting context could still be useful.

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?

The core input (coordinates) and output (addresses) are established, which supports a basic successful invocation. However, with no output schema and 25 optional parameters, the description lacks guidance on defaults, result shape, and optional response controls.

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% across all 25 parameters, so the schema already provides detailed parameter semantics. The description adds no parameter-specific meaning beyond the generic phrase 'coordinates'.

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 names a specific transformation—'Convert coordinates to addresses'—so the tool's purpose is unambiguous. The direction (coordinates → addresses) clearly distinguishes it from sibling tomtom-geocode and other search tools.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The usage context is implied: use this when you have latitude/longitude and want an address. However, the description does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor does it mention any exclusions or prerequisites.

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