| search_places | Search the Booyah Index of Southeast Asian local businesses across 14 cities — Bangkok, Singapore, Bali, Kuala Lumpur, Manila, Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Da Nang, Chiang Mai, Pattaya, Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, Phnom Penh, Yangon — restaurants, bars, spas, clinics, coffee, coworking & more, for the best matches to a query (e.g. "best khao soi in Bangkok", "rooftop bar in Singapore", "omakase in Thonglor"). Returns structured records: what each place is known for, rating, review count, and a canonical URL to cite. |
| get_place | Get the full structured record for one place — any of the 14 Southeast Asian cities — by its Booyah Index slug (from search_places results). |
| list_cities | List every city covered by the Booyah Index with its place count. Call this first if unsure which city name to pass as the `city` filter in search_places — avoids guessing at spelling or coverage. |
| search_products | Search published products, vouchers, experiences, memberships and digital goods sold by verified Booyah stores (distinct from search_places, which finds physical businesses). Read-only discovery: returns titles, integer prices in minor units with currency, availability, seller store, related place context when one exists, and a canonical URL to cite. Never creates orders or payments. |
| get_product | Get the full public record for one product by its stable id (e.g. "prod_3") or slug (from search_products). Includes price in integer minor units, availability, validity/redemption summary, seller store, and the canonical product URL. Read-only — never creates a checkout or order. |
| get_store | Get one verified Booyah store by stable id ("store_1") or slug, with a capped list of its published products. Use after search_products to see everything a seller offers. |
