Description

The three Overpass tools declare label for every enrichment field, so their content[] trailer reads as prose headings. The three Nominatim tools do not, so their enrichment fields fall back to the raw camelCase key and the rendered output reads as a struct dump.

openstreetmap_search_places declares an enrichmentTrailer covering only…

feat(search_places): add viewbox locality bias

Use case

Place names and small features are often ambiguous outside a caller's study area. A hydrologist may need a creek inside one watershed, or an analyst may need a street or facility inside a municipal boundary. countrycodes is too coarse for this, and adding locality words to free-form text is less precise than Nominatim's geographic bias.

The current workflow can discover an area with openstreetmap_query_bbox, but it cannot carry those bounds into openstreetmap_search_places.…

OS

Description

openstreetmap_query_raw bounds only the number of top-level elements (limit/offset, #50). One relation, way, or geometry-heavy element can still produce a response larger than a client context window on its own, duplicated across structuredContent and formatted content. Overpass QL's own…

Runtime version

Transport

HTTP (Streamable HTTP)

OS

macOS 26.1

Description

A deterministically-invalid parameter that Nominatim rejects with HTTP 400 is retried four times and surfaces as a retryable upstream_error, even though every retry sends the identical rejected request. Two independent defects combine to produce this:

  1. **isTransientNominatimError…
