Local Business Discovery and Mapping
Available Actions
Details
Comprehensive place discovery and geocoding service that enables AI agents to search, discover, and analyze physical locations in the real world. The tool provides powerful search capabilities with two primary modes: nearby search for radius-based discovery and text search for flexible keyword-based queries across global locations. The nearby search functionality supports advanced filtering through 30+ predefined category groups, intelligently organized into logical clusters such as restaurants_and_dining (covering 37 restaurant types from fast food to fine dining), health_and_medical (hospitals, doctors, pharmacies), entertainment_and_attractions (museums, theaters, amusement parks), and transportation (airports, train stations, transit stops). Each category group automatically expands to include all relevant place types, enabling precise filtering without manual specification of individual types. Core capabilities include discovering places within a 1-50km radius of any location, searching globally with text queries and optional location bias, forward geocoding to convert addresses into coordinates with place IDs and address components, reverse geocoding to transform coordinates into structured addresses, and intelligent category-based filtering with both inclusion and exclusion options. The tool returns rich place data including names, addresses, ratings, price levels, operating status, and precise coordinates. The tool automatically handles address-to-coordinate conversion when needed, allowing agents to specify search centers using either street addresses or lat/lng coordinates. All searches support configurable result limits up to 50 places per query, with detailed metadata for each discovered location. The integrated geocoding ensures seamless workflow between address-based and coordinate-based operations.
