get_local_and_traffic_rules Skill

This skill provides guidelines on how to effectively use the get_local_and_traffic_rules tool.

Overview

The get_local_and_traffic_rules tool interfaces with an AlloyDB database to perform vector similarity searches on a corpus of rules and traffic information using a provided natural language query.

Usage Guidelines

1. Query Specificity: When calling the tool, provide specific details in the query argument. For example, instead of querying "food rules", use "rules regarding food vendors during public events".
2. Contextual Use: Use the tool when planning events or activities that require adherence to local municipal or state rules (e.g., street closures, noise ordinances, environmental rules).
3. Handling Results: The tool returns a string containing the text of the top 5 most relevant rules. If no error occurs, parse the returned string to inform your planning tasks.
4. Error Handling: If an error string is returned (e.g., "Error querying rules: ..."), you must report this failure or attempt an alternative approach if applicable.

Underlying Mechanism

• The tool uses google_ml.embedding to convert the query into a vector representation.
• It calculates distance (<=>) against the embedding column in the rules table on an AlloyDB instance.
• Results are fetched in descending order of similarity, limited to 5 results.
