    Server tool list (8)

    Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.

    list_venuesList every bookable Angling Lines carp fishing venue in France, with its headline facts (lake size, swims, capacity, lake record, accommodation), boolean feature flags (dogs_allowed, catfish, pool_or_hot_tub, …) and canonical URLs. The feature keys match the search_venues filter names, so prefer search_venues to filter server-side. Takes no arguments. This is the full catalogue, not an availability check.
    get_quoteQuote one Angling Lines venue for one fixed 7-day week: give a venue name or slug, a Saturday arrival date (YYYY-MM-DD) and the party, and get the total price for the whole party for the whole week. Prices come from the live booking engine — the venue price plus the cheapest Channel crossing for the vehicles quoted — and are in GBP. Returns a structured "unavailable" result, not a price, when that week is not free for that party.
    venues_available_on_dateCheck which Angling Lines venues genuinely have space for a party, either on one specific Saturday or across a whole month. Stays are fixed 7-day weeks, so an arrival date must be a Saturday in "YYYY-MM-DD" form; pass "month" as "YYYY-MM" instead to scan a whole month (defaults to the current month). Returns only venues with real availability, each with its free arrival dates and remaining capacity. Use this — not list_venues — whenever the question is about what is free or bookable.
    search_categoriesBrowse the curated venue categories Angling Lines maintains — themed collections such as big carp lakes, family-friendly lakes, lakes with a swimming pool, or lakes close to Calais. Called with no arguments it lists every category with its description and venue count; pass a category slug to get the bookable venues in that category. These lists are hand-picked by Angling Lines, so they cannot be reproduced by filtering on venue attributes.
    search_venuesThe tool for "find me a lake": search the Angling Lines catalogue by party size, features and availability, exactly the way the website search does. Every filter is optional — call it with nothing for the whole catalogue, or combine party size ("anglers", "non_anglers"), lake facts ("min_carp_lb", "min_lake_acres") and facilities ("accommodation", "all_inclusive", "meals", "pool_or_hot_tub", "tackle_hire", "catfish", "dogs_allowed", "campervans", "rowing_boats", "bait_boats", "bait_on_site"). Add a Saturday "date" (YYYY-MM-DD) to get real availability plus "alternatives" — venues that match everything but that week, each with the nearest earlier and later free Saturday — or "months" (["YYYY-MM"]) to scan whole months. Narrow to a curated theme with "category", whose slugs come from search_categories.
    list_crossingsList the Channel crossing choices for one trip — venue, Saturday arrival date (YYYY-MM-DD) and party — cheapest first. Each option gives the route, operator, ferry/tunnel type, crossing time, an overnight flag and the TOTAL holiday price with that crossing, plus the outbound/inbound route ids to pass to prepare_booking when the customer picks one. The cheapest option matches the get_quote price. Crossing choice is subject to sailing availability at checkout.
    list_swimsCheck swim and accommodation availability for a venue on a specific Saturday date and actual party. Returns free/taken swim numbers, capacities, venue-specific rules and map URL. Golden Carp Lake sells four fixed booking_options, never individual swims: if asked for one swim, explain the full package and obtain customer acceptance before passing booking_option to get_quote, list_crossings or prepare_booking. Never silently expand a single-swim request or increase the party to package capacity. At other swim venues pass chosen swims and accommodation_ids, or allow suitable free defaults. Choices can affect price, so quote the final selection before confirming.
    prepare_bookingPrepare a confirmed trip, including selected swims, accommodation, Golden Carp Lake booking_option and crossing, for the Angling Lines review page. Returns a live total and signed prefill link; creates nothing until the customer opens it. Call after the customer confirms the venue, Saturday date, party and choices. Missing or unavailable choices return a reason to resolve IN CHAT with list_swims/list_crossings; GCL can be booked through chat. Nothing is held or booked until checkout is completed.
