## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `MAPBOX_GEOCODE_BATCH_V6` | Batch Geocode V6 | Tool to perform batch geocoding with up to 1000 queries in a single request. Use when you need to geocode multiple locations efficiently (forward, reverse, or structured). Supports mixing query types in the same batch. |
| `MAPBOX_GEOCODE_FORWARD_V5` | Forward Geocode V5 | Tool to search for places by name or address using Mapbox Geocoding v5 API (forward geocoding). Use when you need to convert place names or addresses to geographic coordinates using the v5 endpoint. |

| `MAPBOX_GEOCODING_PERMANENT_FORWARD` | Permanent Forward Geocoding | Tool to perform permanent forward geocoding. Use when you need enterprise-grade permanent geocoding after confirming account privileges. |
| `MAPBOX_GEOCODING_PERMANENT_REVERSE` | Permanent Reverse Geocoding | Tool to perform permanent reverse geocoding. Use after obtaining coordinates to get cacheable place data. Example: lon=-73.989, lat=40.733 |
| `MAPBOX_GEOCODING_REVERSE` | Reverse Geocoding | Tool to reverse geocode coordinates into place names. Use after obtaining coordinates. |
| `MAPBOX_GET_ACCESS_TOKEN` | Get Access Token | Tool to extract and validate Mapbox access token from connection metadata. Use when you need a valid token for downstream actions. |
| `MAPBOX_GET_ISOCHRONE` | Get Isochrone | Tool to calculate areas reachable within a specified amount of time or distance from a location. Use when you need to visualize travel time or distance zones for routing analysis. |
| `MAPBOX_GET_MAP_MATCHING` | Get Map Matching | Tool to snap fuzzy GPS traces to roads on the road network. Use when you need to clean up inaccurate location traces for display or analysis. |

| `MAPBOX_GET_SPRITE` | Get Sprite | Tool to retrieve a sprite image or its JSON document from a Mapbox style. Use when you need sprite assets for rendering map icons. Sprites are collections of small icons used in map styles. The JSON format returns metadata about icon positions and dimensions within the sprite sheet, while the PNG format returns the actual image. Sprite sheets optimize performance by combining multiple icons into a single image. |
| `MAPBOX_GET_STATIC_IMAGE` | Get Static Image | Request a static map image from a Mapbox Studio style. Returns a PNG or JPEG image of the specified map area with customizable parameters including location, zoom level, camera angle, and optional overlays like markers or GeoJSON features. Use when you need to generate static map images for embedding in documents, emails, or web pages without interactive map functionality. |
| `MAPBOX_GET_STATIC_TILES` | Get Static Tiles | Tool to retrieve raster tiles from a Mapbox Studio style. Use when you need map tiles for specific coordinates and zoom levels. Returns PNG or JPG raster tiles that can be assembled to create map visualizations. Tiles follow the XYZ tiling scheme where the world is divided into a grid at each zoom level. Supports retina/high-DPI displays via the @2x suffix. |
| `MAPBOX_GET_TOKEN` | Get Token Information | Tool to retrieve information about a Mapbox access token and validate its status. Use when you need to check token validity or retrieve token metadata. |
| `MAPBOX_GET_VECTOR_TILES` | Get Vector Tiles | Tool to retrieve vector tiles from Mapbox-hosted vector tilesets. Use when you need tile data for mapping applications at specific zoom levels and coordinates. |

| `MAPBOX_QUERY_TILE_FEATURES` | Query Tile Features | Tool to retrieve data about specific features from vector tilesets based on a location. Use when you need to query tileset features at a geographic point, such as finding buildings, roads, or points of interest near coordinates. |
| `MAPBOX_REQUEST_STYLE_EMBED_HTML` | Request Style Embed HTML | Retrieve embeddable HTML for a Mapbox style that can be embedded in an iframe. Returns a complete HTML document with Mapbox GL JS code that renders an interactive map with the specified style. Useful for quickly embedding Mapbox maps into web pages without custom JavaScript code. |
| `MAPBOX_RETRIEVE_DIRECTIONS` | Retrieve Directions | Tool to retrieve directions between waypoints. Use when you need navigation routes with optional turn-by-turn instructions after confirming origin and destination. |
| `MAPBOX_RETRIEVE_FONT_GLYPH_RANGES` | Retrieve Font Glyph Ranges | Tool to retrieve font glyph ranges as PBF tiles. Use when you have confirmed the font name, codepoint range, and valid token. |
| `MAPBOX_RETRIEVE_MARKER` | Retrieve Marker | Tool to retrieve a standalone marker image without any background map. Returns a PNG image file of the specified marker type. Use when you need to obtain marker icons for display or reference purposes. |
| `MAPBOX_RETRIEVE_MATRIX` | Retrieve Matrix | Retrieve a travel time and distance matrix between multiple locations. Use this tool when you need to calculate travel times and/or distances between many origin-destination pairs efficiently (e.g., comparing routes from multiple starting points to multiple destinations, finding the nearest location from a set, or optimizing multi-stop routing). Returns matrices showing durations (in seconds) and distances (in meters) between all coordinate pairs. |
| `MAPBOX_RETRIEVE_SEARCHBOX_PLACE` | Retrieve Searchbox Place Details | Tool to retrieve full details for a specific place by its Mapbox ID. Use when you have a mapbox_id from a search suggestion and need complete place information. |
| `MAPBOX_RETRIEVE_STYLE` | Retrieve Style | Retrieves the complete Mapbox style specification as JSON, including all layers, sources, sprites, and configuration. A Mapbox style defines how a map is rendered, including data sources, layer styling, fonts, and sprites. This action returns the full style specification conforming to the Mapbox Style Specification, which can be used with Mapbox GL JS, mobile SDKs, or for analyzing map configurations. Use this action when you need to: - Inspect or analyze a map style's configuration - Retrieve style definitions for programmatic rendering - Examine layers, sources, and styling rules - Get complete style specifications for custom map implementations |
| `MAPBOX_RETRIEVE_STYLE_WMTS` | Retrieve Style WMTS | Retrieve a WMTS (Web Map Tile Service) capabilities document for a Mapbox style. This action returns an OGC-compliant WMTS XML document that describes how to access map tiles for the specified style. The document includes tile matrix sets, supported coordinate systems (EPSG:3857), and tile URL templates. Use this when integrating Mapbox styles with desktop GIS applications (ArcGIS, QGIS, CARTO, Tableau) or any WMTS-compliant mapping client. The WMTS endpoint works with both Mapbox's official styles (e.g., streets-v12, satellite-v9) and custom styles created in Mapbox Studio. |
| `MAPBOX_RETRIEVE_TILESET_METADATA` | Retrieve Tileset Metadata | Tool to retrieve metadata for a Mapbox tileset. Use when you need TileJSON details including bounds, zooms, and layer info. |
| `MAPBOX_REVERSE_GEOCODE_V6` | Reverse Geocoding V6 | Tool to convert geographic coordinates to place names using Geocoding v6 API. Use when you need to perform reverse geocoding from latitude/longitude coordinates. |
| `MAPBOX_REVERSE_SEARCHBOX` | Search Box Reverse Geocoding | Tool to convert coordinates to places using the Search Box API (reverse geocoding). Use when you need to find place names, addresses, or points of interest for given coordinates. |
| `MAPBOX_SEARCH_BOX_FORWARD` | Search Box Forward | Tool to search for places by name or address using the Search Box API. Use when you need to find locations, addresses, or points of interest based on a text query. |
| `MAPBOX_SEARCH_CATEGORY` | Search by Category | Tool to search for places by category (e.g., restaurants, hotels, coffee shops). Use when you need to find POIs in a specific category, optionally filtered by location, bounding box, or proximity. |
| `MAPBOX_SUGGEST_SEARCHBOX` | Search Box Suggest | Tool to get autocomplete suggestions for a partial search query. Use when you need address or place suggestions as users type, before retrieving full details. |
