    Server tool list (14)

    Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.

    tv_now_on_tvReturns the programs currently broadcasting on Romanian TV channels. Use this for "What is on TV now?" type questions. Default scope is the 14 main channels; pass scope="all" for the full 254-channel list.
    tv_search_programSearch programs across all 254 Romanian TV channels by free-text title, channel, category, and time window. Use for queries like "documentaries on Discovery tomorrow", "football on Saturday", "what is on Antena 1 right now". Time references accepted: now, tonight, tomorrow, weekend, primetime, today, YYYY-MM-DD, ISO instant, or ISO range "A/B".
    tv_get_prime_timeReturns the prime-time lineup (20:00–23:00 Europe/Bucharest) for a given date, grouped by channel. Use for queries like "what is on prime time tonight" or "tomorrow night TV". By default, news channels are excluded.
    tv_recommend_todayReturns up to N ranked program recommendations for a given timeframe. Uses a deterministic scorer that rewards films / documentaries / generalist channels, penalises news, and boosts programs starting within the next hour. Use for queries like "recommend me something for tonight", "ce e bun la TV diseară".
    tv_get_title_detailsLooks up a title across upcoming Romanian TV airings (next N hours, default 48) and the live streaming catalog for Romania (Netflix, HBO Max, Prime Video, Disney+, Apple TV+). Use for queries like "is Avatar on Netflix?", "when does Game of Thrones air next?".
    tv_recommend_by_moodReturns top-N Romanian TV programs ranked for a given mood (obosit/vesel/concentrat/romantic/familie/captivant — RO/EN aliases accepted). Combines: channel category, mood-fit (genre + duration + keywords), time proximity, and streaming cross-reference. Output includes mood_parts breakdown and freshness embedded.
    tv_plan_eveningBuilds a coherent TV watching plan for an evening — either one long program filling the budget or 2-3 segments with small gaps. Accepts start time, duration budget, mood, and channel preferences. Output: ordered timeline + alternatives dropped + totals.
    tv_compare_optionsCompares 2-5 program titles by scoring each against the chosen mood, finding the next TV airing (next 48h by default) and looking each up in the streaming catalog. Returns side-by-side breakdown and a winner with reasoning.
    tv_find_for_coupleFinds TV programs that satisfy two people with different moods/preferences. Default fairness=strict (min(scoreA,scoreB) >= threshold — no veto). Auto-falls-back to fairness=average if strict returns empty, marked with degraded:true. Returns per-person score breakdown + compromise note when one side wins by >1.5 points.
    tv_explain_recommendationReturns a full score breakdown for a specific program in a given mood/context: per-component value + reason, extracted genres, streaming cross-ref, freshness, sources used, and a list of alternatives that were not picked (with the specific reason each was dropped). Use to understand or debug a recommendation.
    tv_check_freshnessReports the last-updated time of each underlying data source (EPG normalized, EPG homepage, streaming catalog), the age in minutes, the expected next refresh, and whether any source is stale (older than 1.5× the expected refresh interval).
    tv_conciergeYou have a window of free time — decide for me what to watch right now. Returns ONE primary decision (TV program OR streaming title) with confidence percentage, full reasoning breakdown, and up to 3 diverse alternatives with explicit trade-offs (pros/cons, reason not picked). Picks across live Romanian TV EPG AND streaming catalog (Netflix, HBO Max, Disney+, Prime Video, Apple TV+, SkyShowtime). Built-in anti-noise filter automatically removes news, political talk, reality shows, talk-shows (NO manual filtering needed by the model). Built-in title dedup (handles ~46% duplicate-airing ratio in TV EPG). Built-in opportunity-cost lookahead (flags better options just outside the window). Event-aware: major broadcasts (World Cup / Euro / Champions League / finals) get an importance boost in ranking AND are always listed in the important_today field, even when the mood-based pick is something else — for questions like "what is important today?", prefer tv_important_today. PREFER THIS TOOL over tv_recommend_by_mood, tv_plan_evening, and tv_recommend_today whenever the user wants ONE answer / a single decision / a plan for a specific window — those tools return ranked LISTS for browsing, this tool returns a DECISION. Routes any mood internally (obosit / vesel / concentrat / romantic / familie / captivant + EN aliases tired/happy/focused/romantic/family/thrilling). Trigger phrases: "what should I do", "decide for me", "pick for me", "I have X hours", "ce să fac", "am 2 ore", "alege tu", "mood X durată Y", "o singură decizie", "fii consilierul meu", "what to watch", "concierge me".
    tv_important_todayWhat actually matters on Romanian TV today: World Cup / Euro / Champions League matches, finals, knockout games, national-team fixtures. Detected from real EPG text (titles + descriptions) with quoted evidence — the EPG has no structured event metadata, so detection is keyword-based and honest about it. Use this FIRST for questions like "what's important to watch today?".
    tv_tonight_cardThe daily "what is worth watching tonight?" card: one main decision (importance-scored major event, or a deterministic prime-time film fallback) plus one pick per vertical — TV, streaming (official Netflix RO top 10), theater (online + stage union), cinema (box office ∩ today's real screenings) — and measured stats. Same data as the tv.madeinro.eu homepage hero, regenerated daily. In MCP Apps-capable hosts this renders as an interactive card (ui://rotv/tonight-card).
