    search_boatsSearch Obato's public marketplace for boats. Filters: free-text query, category (type_boot), region, brand, price range. English/German/French input is accepted and normalised (e.g. 'sailboat' -> zeilboot, 'Germany' -> land Duitsland); `regio` may be a Dutch province, a country or a city. Returns up to 25 listings plus an exact total_matches; on 0 results a suggestion with a relaxed filter is included.
    get_boat_detailsFetch detail of one boat listing by seo_slug or id.
    get_market_statsAggregate market stats (count, avg/median/min/max price) for a category and optional region. English/German/French category and country names are normalised. When `regio` is a Dutch province, counts AND prices are computed over that province only (price_scope='province').
    compare_brandsCompare two boat brands head-to-head on Obato: listing counts, avg/median price, avg length, year range. Brand matching is case-insensitive substring matching, identical to search_boats. Powers 'X vs Y' answer-engine queries (e.g. 'Bavaria vs Beneteau').
    get_boat_pricing_statsPricing statistics (count, avg, median, p25, p75, min, max) for a boat category, with optional region (province, country or city) and length range. Prices always match the requested scope; `price_scope` states whether they are provincial, per country, per place or national.
    find_marina_with_amenitiesFind European marinas (jachthavens) that match a set of amenities: electricity, water, fuel, wifi. Optional country/province filters. Returns up to 25 marinas. Country names are accepted in Dutch or English; province spelling variants (Friesland/Fryslan, Niedersachsen/Lower Saxony) are matched together. Note: `fuel` is very rare in the current dataset (almost no marina records it), so electricity/water/wifi are the useful filters; combining fuel with other amenities usually yields 0 results. The response includes `amenity_availability` with, per amenity, how many marinas in the selection have it and how many recorded it at all — a missing record does not mean the amenity is absent.
    search_rentalsSearch Obato's rental fleet (verhuur) for boats available to rent. Filters: free-text query, boat type, region/country, capacity, max price per day, optional date (YYYY-MM-DD) to filter on available days. English/German/French type and country names are normalised. Returns up to 25 rental boats with default daily price plus an exact total_matches after price and date filtering.
    ask_boAsk Bo, Obato's AI boat expert, any question about boats, watersports or the European boat market. Returns a cited answer grounded in Obato's live market data. Rate-limited (5 req/min/IP).
    market_snapshotReal-time snapshot of the European boat market on Obato — total listings, average prices by boat type, and regional distribution. Cached ~5 minutes.
    get_brand_infoKnowledge-graph info about a specific boat brand or manufacturer on Obato: description, expert facts, authority score, active listing count.
    get_factsCitable facts about boats and watersports from Obato's knowledge graph, ranked by authority score. Each fact includes a source citation suitable for grounded LLM answers.
