Resolve Point(s) (Deep)

resolve_deep_point
Read-onlyIdempotent

Determine exact deep containment for WGS84 points already scoped by a shallow location ID, using a selected geometry family; supports single and bulk requests.

Instructions

Second-pass containment only after resolve_point. Supply the original WGS84 coordinate or a bounded point array, one shared shallow_loc_id returned by resolve_point, and one canonical family from get_catalog(catalog='geometry'). family defaults to administrative; shape-backed families use direct bbox-to-exact-shape lookup without crosswalks. Single and bulk requests share this scoped contract.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
latNoLatitude in WGS84 decimal degrees.
lonNoLongitude in WGS84 decimal degrees.
familyNoOne family selector. Defaults to administrative; use marine for the direct Marine resolver, or a canonical country family such as postal_area, watershed, or land_management_region.administrative
pointsNoPoints already known to fall within the supplied shallow_loc_id scope.
batch_idNoOptional caller-supplied batch id echoed for point arrays.
request_idNoOptional caller-supplied request id for tracing.
shallow_loc_idYesThe deepest canonical Admin 1-3 loc_id returned by resolve_point, such as USA-NY-061-009903.
target_admin_levelNoOptional exact Admin 4-6 level. Omit for the deepest available match.

TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already cover the safety profile (readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive, closed-world), and the description adds real behavioral context: family defaults to administrative, shape-backed families resolve via direct bbox-to-exact-shape lookup without crosswalks, and all points must share one shallow_loc_id scope. It does not discuss failure modes for out-of-scope points, which keeps it off a 5.

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 prerequisite and second-pass framing are front-loaded in the first sentence, and every clause carries operational information (scope, required inputs, family default, bulk contract). It is dense and jargon-heavy, which slows first read, but there is little genuinely redundant wording.

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?

For a read-only, eight-parameter tool with a full output schema and native annotations, the description supplies the missing procedural context: the required call ordering, the shared-scope constraint on arrays, and family semantics. Only the handling of points outside the supplied scope or unexpected family values is left unstated.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3; the description goes beyond it by adding the 'one shared shallow_loc_id' constraint and the 'bounded point array' notion, plus the crosswalk-free behavior of shape-backed families. It does not add detail on target_admin_level or the batch/request id echo, which the schema handles.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ('Resolve Point(s)') plus a clear scope qualifier: 'Second-pass containment only after resolve_point.' That immediately separates it from the shallower resolve_point and from the sibling resolve_deep_bbox, and it names get_catalog as the source of the family selector.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Explicitly gates usage on a prior resolve_point call and lists the three required inputs (original WGS84 coordinate or bounded point array, one shared shallow_loc_id, one canonical family from get_catalog). It also states that bulk and single requests share the same contract, so an agent knows there is no separate bulk invocation pattern.

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