Server tool list (1)

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

search_eventsFind events matching a user's natural-language request. Combines semantic search over venue vibes, geographic radius filtering, date/cost/category hard filters, and strict safety tags. Returns ranked event facts, original event-source links when available, and the filters that shaped the results. Call this ONCE per user query with the structured args you inferred from their question — do not try to issue multiple speculative calls. The tool cannot buy tickets, create or modify events, edit calendars, or message organizers. Calls record private quota and request telemetry. An uncached place_name is sent to the public Nominatim geocoder. Tag vocabulary is fixed (49 canonical tags across 6 facets: ambiance, social, time, age, venue_type, activity). See the `vibe_tags` field description. Safety-critical tags (queer-friendly, family-friendly, all-ages, 18-plus, 21-plus) are hard filters: if included, venues without that tag are excluded entirely — never just down-ranked. Only include a safety tag when the user's query explicitly requested it.
