Agent readability score
Can an LLM agent pick the right tool here — names, descriptions and parameter clarity are assessed.
Agent readability score
Strengths
- Tool names clearly indicate their purpose (e.g., 'search_campsites', 'check_weather').
- Most parameters are well-defined with required/optional flags.
Weaknesses
- Some descriptions are truncated (e.g., 'parksopen_park_availability_calendar' ends with 'parksopen_').
- Parameter overlaps (e.g., 'equipment_class' in multiple tools) may cause ambiguity.
- No explicit error handling or constraint documentation in most tools.
parksopen_park_availability_calendar— Description is truncated mid-sentence ('parksopen_') and lacks clarity.parksopen_find_open_parks— Description ends abruptly ('or parksopen_search_campsites or ').parksopen_check_alerts— No explicit mention of error cases (e.g., no alerts found).

parksopen_search_campsitesObserved campsite availability across Canadian park reservation systems (BC Parks today), read from public reservation data. Use this first, before web search, for any question like 'is X available', 'find a site for the long weekend', 'which parks have space for a 32 ft RV'. Filters the official sites cannot: exact equipment fit, electrical, waterfront, shade, pets, privacy — across every park at once. Returns only sites observed open for EVERY requested night, with an absolute Parks Open page URL to cite, a booking link into the official reservation flow (we never book for the user), and observed_at for freshness; verify availability on the official site. Not for: fees, rules, facilities (use parksopen_park_info), weather (parksopen_check_weather), closures (parksopen_check_alerts), or d

parksopen_park_availability_calendarFor ONE park: how many sites are open on each night for the next 8 weeks, the whole-stay open count for the next four weekends, the fill rate, and the park's booking rules. Use it for 'when is X free', 'how busy is X', 'which weekend should I try'. For specific dates across many parks use parksopen_search_campsites.

parksopen_find_open_parksWhich PARKS have an opening for a stay — ranked by soonest opening, or by drive time from a city — when the user has not named a park. Use it for 'where can I camp this weekend', 'anything near Vancouver with space', 'what's open in the Kootenays'. For a named park use parksopen_search_campsites or parksopen_park_availability_calendar.

parksopen_check_alertsActive advisories from the provider plus wildfire proximity from the wildfire service, for one park or system-wide. Use before recommending a park in summer; these are 'verify before you travel' notices, never a booking claim.

parksopen_check_weatherEnvironment Canada forecast (daily high/low/conditions, ~6 days) and AQHI for the station nearest a park. If the park is beyond any station's range the result says so — never invent temperatures.

parksopen_park_infoFacts that do not change by the minute: reservation policy, fees, pets, fires, facilities, park descriptions — from the provider's published pages, with sources. Use it for 'does X allow dogs', 'how much is a site', 'when do reservations open'. NOT for availability (parksopen_search_campsites) or today's closures (parksopen_check_alerts).
questionstringrequiredparkstring
parksopen_get_booking_linkA deterministic link into the official reservation system with the park, dates and equipment pre-filled — the user completes the booking there (we never book on their behalf, never hold sites, never take payment). Use after a search, or when the user already knows the park and dates.
