Input Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
x | integer | Yes | Tile X coordinate - use lat-lng-to-tile tool to calculate this from lat/lng |
format | string | No | Tile format: 'png' for images, 'mvt' for vector tiles |
fetch_image | boolean | No | If true, actually fetch the tile image data so Claude can analyze the geological features visually |
scale | string | No | Map scale layer - 'carto' automatically selects appropriate detail level based on zoom. Other scales (tiny, small, medium, large) may have limited coverage. |
y | integer | Yes | Tile Y coordinate - use lat-lng-to-tile tool to calculate this from lat/lng |
z | integer | Yes | Zoom level (0-18). Higher zoom = more detailed view of smaller area. Typical values: z=3 (continent), z=6 (country), z=10 (city), z=15 (neighborhood) |
