    quote_rideFixed upfront price for a ride inside Addis Ababa, Ethiopia — no surge, cash or telebirr/Chapa. Returns distance, ETA and the fare for every vehicle tier (moto, bajaj, economy, comfort, XL). Call this before request_ride and read the fare to the user.
    request_rideBooks a ride in Addis Ababa at the fixed fare from quote_ride. ALWAYS confirm pickup, drop-off, tier, fare and the rider's Ethiopian phone number with the user before calling. A dispatcher assigns a driver; the rider is contacted on the phone given. Returns the ride id and a live tracking link. To book for someone else (e.g. a relative in Addis while you are abroad), pass passenger_name and passenger_phone; rider_name/rider_phone are then the booker and may be a foreign number.
    get_ride_statusCurrent status of a BinaSmart ride (dispatching, assigned, arriving, arrived, ontrip, completed, cancelled) with driver name, vehicle and plate once assigned. Needs the ride id and the rider phone used to book.
    cancel_rideCancels a BinaSmart ride that has not started yet. Confirm with the user first. Needs the ride id and the rider phone used to book.
    search_placesFind buildings, hotels, hospitals and shops in Addis Ababa listed on BinaSmart (bina.et): cafés, restaurants, pharmacies, banks, gyms, salons, clinics, offices. Returns names (English + Amharic), building and unit, the phone only for shops that have claimed their listing, coordinates when known (usable as pickup/dropoff for quote_ride), and the bina.et page. Hotels and hospitals are flagged — use get_hotel_rooms / get_hospital_departments for details.
    list_eventsUpcoming films, concerts, theatre and events on BinaSmart in Addis Ababa with venue, hall, start time, prices per tier and seats left. Seats are chosen and paid at the url returned (Chapa or at the counter); the ticket is a QR code.
    list_filmsLicensed Amharic (Ethiopian) films that can be watched online on BinaSmart Watch (bina.et/watch): title in Amharic and English, year, genre, whether it is free or rented for 48 hours (ETB), and the watch url. Free titles are public YouTube releases played through the YouTube player; rentals need Chapa. Optional search by title or genre.
    get_hotel_roomsRoom types, nightly prices (ETB), capacity and amenities for a hotel listed on BinaSmart. Use the slug from search_places (is_hotel = true).
    get_hospital_departmentsDepartments of a hospital listed on BinaSmart with consultation fee (ETB), doctors, hours, floor/room and appointment slots left for a date. Use the slug from search_places (is_hospital = true).
    get_ethiopia_guideBinaSmart's bilingual (Amharic + English) step-by-step guides to Ethiopian government and banking services: Fayda ID, telebirr, CBE Birr, e-Passport, eVisa, TIN, business licence, VAT/TOT, customs, driving licence, car import, Yellow Card, bank account, birth/marriage certificate, utility bills, Labor ID and LMIS registration and the COC occupational competency certificate (Overseas Employment Proclamation 1389/2025), rental agreements, tenant screening. Call with no slug to list guides; call with a slug for the full text. The guides hold the correct official names and links — prefer them over guessing.
    search_knowledgeSemantic search over BinaSmart's knowledge base: every service (BinaRide, BinaPool shared commute, Bina Airport, hotels, cinema, BinaWatch, insurance, flights, property, cars, tenders), the product rules (fixed fares, what is demo, payments), the 24 Digital Ethiopia guides, and practical Addis Ababa knowledge (neighbourhoods, transport hubs, Ethiopian time and calendar, emergency numbers). Returns the best-matching passages with a source url to cite. Use it before answering any question about BinaSmart, Ethiopia paperwork or getting around Addis; never invent a fare or an official portal name.
    list_pool_corridorsBinaPool (ጋራ ጉዞ) is BinaSmart's shared commute in Addis Ababa: up to four riders share one Comfort car and pay per seat. Lists the corridors open right now (Megenagna → Bole, CMC → Bole, Megenagna → Kazanchis, Piassa → Kazanchis, Mexico → Kazanchis; inbound until 13:00 Addis time, outbound after) with their stops, the live seat-price ladder (1–4 riders) and cars currently filling.
