Calculate distance between coordinates and return hotels sorted by distance. AI provides the target coordinates.
AI agents call quest_calculate_distance to retrieve information from Quest Apartment Hotels MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and calculates information about hotel locations based on provided coordinates. It performs a read-only query operation that returns sorted data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any side effects. The only input is coordinates, and the output is distance calculations and hotel listings — both passive data operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'quest_calculate_distance' and description states it 'calculate[s] distance' and 'return[s] hotels sorted by distance' — purely retrieval and computation of existing data with no modification, deletion, or execution of external commands.
