Show geo map MCP tool

Minimal: {"series":[{"id":"offices","markers":[{"id":"office-1","lat":38.9,"lng":-77,"label":"Office"}]}]}. Display a simple map with marker popups and routes; it does not collect selections. Basemap access is configured by GovTribe, never supplied in tool arguments. Presentation ID and series labels default; descriptions, colors, styling, clustering and viewport options are optional. Preserve marker, series, route and record IDs. Use it for geographic review, not boundary-layer or heatmap analysis.

Examples

Use maps when the user needs to inspect named facilities, buyer offices, vendor locations, or routes spatially. Pan and zoom to navigate; click a marker for a small popup. Bounds fit the supplied locations automatically unless an optional viewport is provided. Multi-series maps include a legend, and clustering is available for dense point sets.

Maps display locations without selection controls, submission actions, or permanent detail panels. Basemap access belongs to GovTribe application configuration; agents never supply keys or tile-provider URLs. When the basemap is unavailable or unconfigured, the map explains the problem while keeping markers and routes visible. Existing conversations retain saved map-selection receipts.

Minimal working example

{
  "tool": "Show_Geo_Map",
  "arguments": {
    "series": [
      {
        "id": "offices",
        "markers": [
          {
            "id": "office-1",
            "lat": 38.9,
            "lng": -77,
            "label": "Office"
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

The presentation id is generated when omitted or null. A series label defaults to its id with words separated. Titles, descriptions, colors, styles, clustering and viewport options are optional. Keep stable series, marker and route IDs and real recordRef identifiers; they identify geographic records.

Payload patterns

Use series for marker groups and routes for paths between known points. Keep marker IDs stable so location references remain meaningful.
