Note: 'locality' is valid, but 'city', 'town', 'sublocality', 'landmark', and 'point\_of\_interest' are NOT valid for filtering. | | `maxResultCount` | integer | | `5` | Maximum number of search results to return. Valid range: 1-20. The actual count may be lower based on available places. | *** ### `Google Maps Place Photo` Integration name: **GOOGLE\_MAPS\_PLACE\_PHOTO** Retrieves high quality photographic content from the Google Maps Places database. Use when you need to download a place photo using a photo\_reference obtained from Place Details, Nearby Search, or Text Search requests. Images are scaled proportionally to fit within specified dimensions. #### Parameters Your Toolhouse AI worker will automatically pass these parameters as input when the tool is called. | Parameter | Type | Required | Example | Description | | ----------------- | ------- | :------: | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `maxwidth` | integer | | `400` | Maximum desired width of the image in pixels (1-1600). Image will be scaled proportionally. You must specify either maxwidth, maxheight, or both. | | `maxheight` | integer | | `400` | Maximum desired height of the image in pixels (1-1600). Image will be scaled proportionally. You must specify either maxwidth, maxheight, or both. | | `photo_reference` | string | ✅ | `"ATJ83zhSSAtkh5LTozXMhBghqubeOxnZWUV2m7Hv2tQaIzKQJgvZk9eCaEjBW0r0Zx1oJ9RF1G7oeM34sQQMOv8s2zA0sgGBiyBgvdyMxeVByRgHUXmv-rkJ2wyvNv17jyTSySm_-_6R2B0v4eKX257HOxvXlx_TSwp2NrICKrZM2d5d2P4q"` | A string identifier that uniquely identifies a photo. Can be either: (1) A full photo resource name in format 'places/{place\_id}/photos/{photo}' from the new Places API, or (2) Just the photo reference string from legacy API. Obtained from Place Details, Nearby Search, or Text Search requests. Note: Photo references cannot be cached and may expire over time. | *** ### `Google Maps Render Aerial Video` Integration name: **GOOGLE\_MAPS\_RENDER\_AERIAL\_VIDEO** Starts rendering an aerial view video for a US postal address. Returns a video ID that can be used with lookupVideo to retrieve the video once rendering completes. Rendering typically takes up to a few hours. #### Parameters Your Toolhouse AI worker will automatically pass these parameters as input when the tool is called. | Parameter | Type | Required | Example | Description | | --------- | ------ | :------: | ------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `address` | string | ✅ | `"1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043"` | US postal address for which to render aerial video. Must be a valid US address with street, city, state, and postal code. | *** ### `Google Maps Text Search` Integration name: **GOOGLE\_MAPS\_TEXT\_SEARCH** Searches for places on Google Maps using a textual query (e.g., "restaurants in London", "Eiffel Tower"). Results may include CLOSED\_PERMANENTLY or TEMPORARILY\_CLOSED places — filter by businessStatus=OPERATIONAL. Include city/region and business type in textQuery to avoid empty or irrelevant results. Deduplicate using id or formattedAddress, not name alone. Throttle to \~1 req/s; OVER\_QUERY\_LIMIT (HTTP 429) requires exponential backoff. #### Parameters Your Toolhouse AI worker will automatically pass these parameters as input when the tool is called. | Parameter | Type | Required | Example | Description | | ---------------- | ------- | :------: | --------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | `fieldMask` | string | | `"displayName,formattedAddress,rating"` | Comma-separated list of place fields to return. Common fields include: displayName, formattedAddress, types, rating, userRatingCount, priceLevel, websiteUri, nationalPhoneNumber, internationalPhoneNumber, regularOpeningHours, location, photos, googleMapsUri, businessStatus, id. The 'places.' prefix is optional and will be added automatically. Use '\*' for all fields (not recommended for performance/cost). Common aliases are supported: 'name'->displayName, 'address'->formattedAddress, 'url'/'website'->websiteUri, 'type'->types, 'phone'->nationalPhoneNumber. Invalid field names (e.g., places.phoneNumber instead of places.nationalPhoneNumber) cause errors. Many fields (rating, websiteUri, regularOpeningHours, nationalPhoneNumber) may be absent even when requested — handle nulls. | | `textQuery` | string | ✅ | `"restaurants in London"` | Text query for searching places. Matched against place name, address, and category. Underspecified queries (missing city, region, or business type) yield empty or irrelevant results. Brand-name-only queries return multiple franchise branches — validate formattedAddress against the intended location. | | `maxResultCount` | integer | | `5` | Maximum number of place results to return (must be 1-20). Note: Google prefers `pageSize`, but this action uses `maxResultCount`. | *** ### `Google Maps Tiles Create Session` Integration name: **GOOGLE\_MAPS\_TILES\_CREATE\_SESSION** Tool to create a session token required for accessing 2D Tiles and Street View imagery. Use when you need to initialize tile-based map rendering or street view display. The session token is valid for approximately two weeks and must be included in all subsequent tile requests. Each call consumes quota — cache and reuse the returned token across all tile requests within its validity window rather than creating a new session per request. #### Parameters Your Toolhouse AI worker will automatically pass these parameters as input when the tool is called. | Parameter | Type | Required | Example | Description | | ------------- | ------- | :------: | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `scale` | string | | `"scaleFactor1x"` | Label scaling factor for high-resolution displays. Valid values: 'scaleFactor1x' (standard), 'scaleFactor2x' (2x resolution), or 'scaleFactor4x' (4x resolution). | | `region` | string | ✅ | `"US"` | Two-letter CLDR region code representing the user's location (e.g., 'US', 'GB', 'FR'). This helps Google Maps provide region-specific content. | | `styles` | array | | `[{"stylers":[{"color":"#ffffff"}],"elementType":"geometry","featureType":"road"}]` | JSON style objects for customizing map appearance (roadmap only). Allows custom styling of map features like roads, buildings, and landmarks. | | `highDpi` | boolean | | `true` | Enable high-resolution tiles for high DPI displays. Works only with 2x or 4x scale factors. Set to true for sharper images on high-resolution screens. | | `mapType` | string | ✅ | `"roadmap"` | Base map type. Valid values: 'roadmap' for standard road map, 'satellite' for satellite imagery, 'terrain' for terrain maps, or 'streetview' for street view imagery. | | `overlay` | boolean | | `true` | Render map layers separately (true) or combined into a single image (false). Set to true if you want individual overlay layers. | | `language` | string | ✅ | `"en-US"` | IETF language tag specifying the display language for map labels and information (e.g., 'en-US', 'es-ES', 'fr-FR'). | | `layerTypes` | array | | `["layerRoadmap"]` | Overlay options for the map. Valid values: 'layerRoadmap' (road overlay), 'layerStreetview' (street view overlay), 'layerTraffic' (traffic layer). Note: terrain mapType requires layerRoadmap. | | `imageFormat` | string | | `"jpeg"` | Output format for tile images. Valid values: 'jpeg' or 'png'. If omitted, the format will be auto-selected by the API. | --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
