    search_contentSearch Iconic Expeditions content across itineraries, activities, destinations, and posts. Flows through the content chain (WordPress -> local cache -> AI fallback), so gaps WordPress doesn't cover are filled with clearly-labeled AI-synthesized results. Each item includes a `source` field (wordpress | cache | ai).
    search_wp_contentAlias of search_content, kept for backwards compatibility. Prefer search_content.
    get_contentFetch a single content item by type and id, walking the content chain (WordPress -> cache). Returns the item with its `source`.
    get_wp_contentAlias of get_content, kept for backwards compatibility. Prefer get_content.
    list_destinationsList destinations from the database, optionally filtered by region or category.
    get_destinationGet full details for a single destination by slug or id.
    get_itineraryGet a full itinerary with all days and activities, sorted by day number and time slot. Public itineraries are readable without a token; private ones require the owning token.
    list_itinerariesList itineraries created by the Iconic Expeditions concierge, most recent first. Requires a bearer token.
    create_itineraryCreate a new (empty) itinerary attributed to the Iconic Expeditions concierge, made public and returned with its share link. Days are created automatically. Requires a bearer token.
    generate_itinerary_from_placesGive at least 3 places plus optional traveller preferences and let the AI concierge build a full, bespoke day-by-day itinerary. It mines Iconic Expeditions content for real detail and synthesizes an ORIGINAL plan tailored to the guest (never a copy of a published itinerary). Attributed to the Iconic Expeditions account and made public. Returns immediately with the itinerary id + share link; poll get_itinerary for progress (generation_status: pending -> building -> complete). Requires a bearer token.
    update_itineraryUpdate metadata (title, description, dates, public status) on a concierge itinerary. Requires a bearer token.
    delete_itineraryPermanently delete a concierge itinerary and all its days and activities. Requires a bearer token.
    add_dayAppend an extra day to a concierge itinerary and increment num_days. Requires a bearer token.
    get_itinerary_dossierRead an itinerary's planning dossier: its legs, month-by-month seasonality, cost model, booking order, field notes and open choices. Public — no token needed. Returns nulls for blocks the itinerary doesn't have; older itineraries have none of them.
    price_itineraryPrice an itinerary's cost model against a selection: a comfort tier, any per-line choices, a trip length and a traveller count. Returns the per-person line breakdown and the group total. Public — no token needed. Amounts are in minor units. Call get_itinerary_dossier first for the tier and option ids.
    set_itinerary_dossierWrite the planning layer above an itinerary's day-by-day. Every block is optional — send only the ones you mean to write. Each block you DO send REPLACES that block entirely, so restate it in full: a partial legs list silently deletes the rest of the legs. Requires a bearer token.
    write_itinerary_day_detailWrite one day out at length — why it is shaped this way, what its timing depends on, what the alternatives cost — plus up to three callouts. Replaces that day's existing narrative and callouts. Requires a bearer token.
    add_activityAdd an activity to a specific day and time slot (morning/afternoon/evening). Optionally link to a content item using its type and id. Requires a bearer token.
    delete_activityRemove an activity from a concierge itinerary day. Requires a bearer token.
    get_pricingList the paid concierge service tiers and their prices: itinerary verification, verification + full booking, and full guided service. Read-only and public — use this to quote a traveller before they buy.
    request_verificationStart a PAID itinerary verification. Our travel experts manually confirm availability, seasonality, routing and current lodge rates, then return a feasibility report and final price. Returns a Stripe checkout URL. Requires a bearer token.
    request_bookingsStart a PAID booking service: verification PLUS we make all the bookings (lodges, transfers, activities, permits). Returns a Stripe checkout URL. Requires a bearer token.
    request_full_serviceStart a PAID full-service, fully-guided expedition with Iconic Expeditions guides. This $500 is a deposit; the final custom price is quoted by an expert afterward based on the itinerary. Returns a Stripe checkout URL. Requires a bearer token.
