Seoul OpenData MCP

One-shot city snapshot of a hotspot

get_city_snapshot

Fetch a combined snapshot of any Seoul hotspot: real-time population, weather, road conditions, and top events with a single call.

Instructions

Get a combined snapshot (population/congestion + weather + road + top events) of a Seoul hotspot in ONE call. Prefer this for broad "how is X right now?" questions. 핫스팟 종합 현황 1회 요약. "지금 홍대 어때?" 같은 포괄 질문에 사용.

Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It mentions the tool is a 'ONE call' snapshot, implying aggregation, but does not disclose potential caveats such as data freshness, rate limits, failure behavior on invalid places, or whether the response is real-time or cached. The description focuses on capabilities rather than behavioral traits.

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 concise and front-loaded, with the core purpose in the first sentence and usage guidance in the second. The Korean sentences that follow largely repeat the English content, introducing some redundancy but also serving localization. Every sentence contributes, though the bilingual duplication prevents a perfect score.

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?

There is no output schema, so the description must convey the return contents. It lists the categories (population/congestion, weather, road, top events) but leaves terms like 'population/congestion' and 'top events' ambiguous (top by what? congestion of traffic or people?). Given the tool aggregates multiple data sources, more detail about the combined response structure would improve completeness.

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?

The schema has 100% coverage for the single 'place' parameter, with a description '핫스팟 장소명' (hotspot place name). The tool description adds a concrete example ('지금 홍대 어때?') and clarifies the scope is 'Seoul hotspot', reinforcing the meaning. However, it does not add significant additional semantics beyond the schema, matching the baseline.

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's purpose with a specific verb ('Get a combined snapshot') and resource ('of a Seoul hotspot'), and explicitly enumerates the combined content ('population/congestion + weather + road + top events'). It is easily distinguished from siblings like get_weather or get_road_traffic, which cover individual data types.

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?

The description provides explicit usage guidance: 'Prefer this for broad "how is X right now?" questions.' It also includes a Korean equivalent, reinforcing the context. However, it does not explicitly name alternative tools or state when NOT to use it, though the sibling list makes the alternatives implicit.

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