Read a peak search result by catalogue slug as a citable text document. Example input: {"id":"ben-nevis"}. This retrieves catalogue documents, not external website URLs; use your own browsing tool for publisher pages. Includes routes, season, access, hazards, huts, notices and provenance. Use get_weather for current forecasts.

}Get published weather for a peak and optional summit/hut/trailhead target. Set targetId and start/end for a bounded planning response; unfiltered forecasts can be large. Point samples are separate from accumulated rain/snow intervals and complete-window totals. Check target coverage and missing fields. Stale is marked; expired, missing and far-future data is unavailable. For a trip months away use get_peak seasons instead, never invent a forecast or a safety verdict.

}Find and compare mountains with explicit country, elevation, season, difficulty and glacier filters. All filters are hard constraints; never silently relaxed. Returns compact peak summaries, IDs, total and nextOffset. Read get_peak and get_route before recommending a route: peak-level filters can describe different routes.

| glacier | string | |

Find routes satisfying all supplied constraints on the SAME route, including difficulty, glacier travel, style and computed round-trip hours. Unknown glacier status is excluded by glacier filters. Searches all candidate peaks; use nextCursor until null for complete results. Coordinates filter peak locations, not trailheads. Transport matches documented prose, not confirmed operation. Historical season and public transport descriptions are not current operating confirmations. Read route details and conflicts before recommending.
