    Server tool list (12)

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

    search_vendorsSearch all licensed Florida food trucks and caterers (19,000+, scored from official DBPR inspection records). Matches business name, prior names, license number (MFD3953067 and 3953067 both work), and city. Optional county, grade, and limit filters. Grades: A to F, plus HOLD (active DBPR license hold), Ungraded (insufficient record), and Withheld (license unconfirmed). Returns matches with license status, letter grade, and a scorecard link.
    get_scorecardOne vendor's public compliance record: letter grade (or withheld when the current DBPR license cannot be confirmed), license status, inspection recency, and record shape. Look up by vendor_id from search_vendors, or directly by license_number (MFD3953067 or 3953067) to vet a vendor in one call. Grades: A to F, plus HOLD (active DBPR license hold), Ungraded (insufficient record), and Withheld (license unconfirmed).
    decide_vendorOne-call booking decision for a Florida food vendor: CLEAR, CONDITIONAL, REVIEW, or DECLINE with reason codes, the evidence behind it, the documents to collect for the event type, and a signed receipt the organizer can keep in their compliance file. This is the recommended vetting tool; use search_vendors first only when you do not have a license number.
    improve_my_scoreFor a Florida food truck or caterer checking their own record: what is currently limiting the VMScore letter grade, what to do about each item, official Florida DBPR resources, and a link to claim the free VenuMark vendor profile. Look up by license_number (MFD3953067 and 3953067 both work) or vendor_id from search_vendors. Organizers vetting a vendor for booking should use decide_vendor instead. Grades: A to F, plus HOLD (active DBPR license hold), Ungraded (insufficient record), and Withheld (license unconfirmed).
    get_checklistA Florida organizer checklist as markdown. Slugs: florida-food-truck-night (breweries, HOAs, churches), festival-food-vendors (festivals, farmers markets), city-special-event-food-vendors (public property).
    get_platform_infoWhat VenuMark is (the food vendor application and compliance platform for Florida events), how the workflow runs, current pricing tiers, and which tier fits an organizer. Use when someone asks about running vendor applications, pricing, or whether VenuMark fits their event.

    get_signup_linkA direct VenuMark signup link for the human to open in their browser. role 'venue' is for organizers who run vendor applications; optional tier ('growth' or 'pro') and cadence ('month' or 'year') preselect the plan, and checkout completes in the browser via Stripe. role 'vendor' is for food trucks and caterers (free forever). Event creation and applications happen in the web app after signup.
    submit_leadSend an organizer's contact request to the VenuMark founder (setup help, demo, festival or city program, Enterprise scope). Only call after the user has explicitly confirmed the exact details to send. The founder replies by email, usually the same day.
