Server tool list (7)
Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.
| get_source_info | Returns what Cellarion is, the version this instance is running, the open-source repository, and the license. Call this when the user asks what Cellarion is, which version they are on, whether it is open source, where to find / contribute to the code — or how to support the project. |
| search_registry | Searches Cellarion's shared wine database (vintage-neutral wines, community data) by name, producer, region or grape. Returns up to 10 matches. Call to identify a wine the user mentions, before recommending, or to check whether a wine exists in the registry. This searches ALL known wines — use search_bottles for what the user owns. |
| get_wine | Full registry record for one wine: producer, region, appellation, classification, grapes, community rating, the AI tasting profile when the wine has been enriched, and the registry image (url + credit) when one is published — null means the wine has no public picture yet; to see the picture yourself, call get_photo with the wine_id. Vintage-neutral (bottles carry the vintage). For signed-in callers, pending_correction says whether a correction suggestion is awaiting review on this wine (one is allowed per wine, across all users), which fields it covers and whether it is the caller's own — check it before composing suggest_wine_correction. Call after search_registry when the user wants depth on a specific wine. |
| find_similar_wines | Given a registry wine_id (or, on an authenticated connection, one of the user's bottle_ids), returns wines with the closest taste/style profile from the shared registry, using vector similarity over wine embeddings. Call for "more like this", "what else is like my favourite Barolo", or to seed purchase ideas from a wine the user loves. Only wines that have been embedded are searchable — an empty result does not mean nothing similar exists. Ids must be 24-hex Mongo ids from search_registry or search_bottles — a name or slug is not an id. Returns at most 10. |
| drink_window_for | Sommelier-curated drink windows for a registry wine: per vintage, when it is young, at peak, and in late maturity, with where the vintage stands right now. Call for "when should I drink <wine> <vintage>", aging questions, or buy-now-drink-later advice. Only sommelier-REVIEWED vintages are returned — an empty result means no curated window exists yet (reason from grape/region/structure yourself, and say it is an estimate). |
| list_guides | Cellarion's published guides and blog articles (cellar management, drink windows, storage, buying) — title, slug, excerpt and tags. Call when the user wants a how-to or background reading; follow with read_guide for the full text. |
| read_guide | The full text of one published Cellarion guide or blog article, by slug (from list_guides). Public website content — quote or summarise freely, and link the public_url when pointing the user to it. |
