Solar System Body Details

solar.system.body_details
Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve detailed physical and orbital data for any solar system body by its ID — mass, radius, density, gravity, temperature, orbital period, discoverer, and moon list.

Instructions

Get comprehensive data for a solar system body — mass, radius, density, gravity, escape velocity, temperature, axial tilt, orbital period, semi-major axis, eccentricity, inclination, discoverer, and list of moons. Source: Solar System OpenData.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
idYesBody ID from search results (e.g. "mars", "jupiter", "moon", "europa", "ceres")

Output Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
resultNoTool response payload. Shape varies per tool — consult the tool description and inputSchema. May be an object, array, string, or number depending on the upstream provider response.
errorNoPresent only when the call failed. Includes error code, message, request_id, and any provider-specific extras.
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, and openWorldHint. The description adds context by listing the data fields and source, but does not reveal behavioral traits beyond annotations. No contradictions.

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 a single sentence that is clear and includes all relevant fields. It is concise without waste, though it could be slightly more structured (e.g., grouping fields).

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

Completeness4/5

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

Given the simple input and that output schema exists, the description lists all returned fields and the data source. However, it omits mention of error behavior for invalid IDs, which is a minor gap.

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?

Input schema coverage is 100% and the schema description already explains the 'id' parameter. The description does not add new meaning to the parameter; baseline score 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's action ('get comprehensive data') and the specific resource ('solar system body'), and lists the data fields, distinguishing it from the sibling tool 'solar.system.bodies' which likely lists all bodies.

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 description does not explicitly state when to use this tool vs alternatives. It implies the ID comes from search results (via parameter description), but lacks direct guidance on prerequisites or when not to use it. Adequate but not explicit.

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