Tools Details

Tool: calculate_route

Calculate a route and return summary info and turn-by-turn directions.

Parameters: departure_position: [lon, lat] destination_position: [lon, lat] travel_mode: 'Car', 'Truck', 'Walking', or 'Bicycle' (default: 'Car') optimize_for: 'FastestRoute' or 'ShortestRoute' (default: 'FastestRoute')

Returns: dict with distance, duration, and turn_by_turn directions (list of step summaries). Parameters|Type|Description -|-|- departure_position|array|Departure position as [longitude, latitude] destination_position|array|Destination position as [longitude, latitude] optimize_for|string *optional*|Optimize route for 'FastestRoute' or 'ShortestRoute' (default: 'FastestRoute') travel_mode|string *optional*|Travel mode: 'Car', 'Truck', 'Walking', or 'Bicycle' (default: 'Car')

Tool: geocode

Get coordinates for a location name or address using Amazon Location Service geo-places geocode API. Parameters|Type|Description -|-|- location|string|Location name or address to geocode

Tool: get_place

Get details for a place using Amazon Location Service geo-places get_place API. Output is standardized and includes all fields, even if empty or not available. Parameters|Type|Description -|-|- place_id|string|The unique PlaceId for the place mode|string *optional*|Output mode: 'summary' (default) or 'raw' for all AWS fields

Tool: optimize_waypoints

Optimize the order of waypoints using Amazon Location Service geo-routes optimize_waypoints API (V2).

Returns summary (optimized order, total distance, duration, etc.) or full response if mode='raw'. Parameters|Type|Description -|-|- destination_position|array|Destination position as [longitude, latitude] origin_position|array|Origin position as [longitude, latitude] waypoints|array|List of intermediate waypoints, each as a dict with at least Position [longitude, latitude], optionally Id mode|string *optional*|Output mode: 'summary' (default) or 'raw' for all AWS fields travel_mode|string *optional*|Travel mode: 'Car', 'Truck', 'Walking', or 'Bicycle' (default: 'Car')

Tool: reverse_geocode

Reverse geocode coordinates to an address using Amazon Location Service geo-places reverse_geocode API. Parameters|Type|Description -|-|- latitude|number|Latitude of the location longitude|number|Longitude of the location

Tool: search_nearby

Search for places near a location using Amazon Location Service geo-places search_nearby API. If no results, expand the radius up to max_radius. Output is standardized and includes all fields, even if empty or not available. Parameters|Type|Description -|-|- latitude|number|Latitude of the center point longitude|number|Longitude of the center point max_results|integer *optional*|Maximum number of results to return query|string *optional*|Optional search query radius|integer *optional*|Search radius in meters

Tool: search_places

Search for places using Amazon Location Service geo-places search_text API. Geocode the query using the geocode API to get BiasPosition. If no results, try a bounding box filter. Includes contact info and opening hours if present. Output is standardized and includes all fields, even if empty or not available. Parameters|Type|Description -|-|- query|string|Search query (address, place name, etc.) max_results|integer *optional*|Maximum number of results to return mode|string *optional*|Output mode: 'summary' (default) or 'raw' for all AWS fields

Tool: search_places_open_now

Search for places that are open now using Amazon Location Service geo-places search_text API and filter by opening hours. If no open places, expand the search radius up to max_radius. Uses BiasPosition from geocode. Parameters|Type|Description -|-|- query|string|Search query (address, place name, etc.) initial_radius|integer *optional*|Initial search radius in meters for expansion
