}Find curated editorial guides (ranked lists) matching a theme, e.g. 'best ramen'. Returns each guide with its ranked entries, blurbs and linked restaurants. Use when the user wants the editorial lists themselves rather than individual restaurant picks. Set include_entries=false to list guide titles and metadata without pulling every entry blurb.
| Argument | Type | Description |

| city* | string | City slug, always required. Currently 'new-york', covering the five boroughs plus the immediate metro (within 30 km of Manhattan). |
| limit | integer | Max results (default 10) |
| query | string | Theme, e.g. 'best ramen', 'date night' |
| include_entries | boolean | Set false to return guide metadata without the ranked entry blurbs (default true) |

}Find restaurants similar to a named one, scored by shared cuisine, occasion and neighbourhood tags, price-tier proximity and guide co-occurrence. Use for 'like X' or 'alternatives to X' requests.
| Argument | Type | Description |

| id | string | Canonical restaurant id, or a name to resolve |
| city* | string | City slug, always required. Currently 'new-york', covering the five boroughs plus the immediate metro (within 30 km of Manhattan). |

}Get the full picture for one restaurant in one call: Infatuation rating (0–10), price tier, address, reservation link, booking intel, review summary, tags and every guide it appears in. Use when the user names a specific restaurant. editorial_blurbs carries verbatim Eater guide excerpts (guide title, URL, position, blurb, captured_at) for any venue with Eater guide entries — Eater-only venues have no rating or price, only this prose plus tags. Full review prose is opt-in via include_prose (default: headline and summary only). review.headline is the source's actual headline when one exists, otherwise null — use review.summary for the descriptive text. match_type is 'exact' when the id or name matched verbatim, 'fuzzy' when it was resolved from a partial/typo'd name — never present a fuzzy match as the venue the user named without saying so. booking is null when the source has no booking intel (not the same as walk-in-only); a reservation link alone never implies a booking policy. data_as_of is the dataset vintage and crawled_at is when this venue was last crawled — caveat fast-decaying claims (closures especially) when these are old.
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| id | string | Canonical restaurant id, or a name to resolve |
| city* | string | City slug, always required. Currently 'new-york', covering the five boroughs plus the immediate metro (within 30 km of Manhattan). |
| name | string | Alias for id: the restaurant's exact name |
| include_prose | boolean | Include the full review text (default false: headline + summary only) |
Rank restaurants by how many distinct guides feature them, optionally filtered by theme. Use for 'where can't I go wrong' or safest-bet picks. Differs from find_guides: this returns ranked restaurants, not the guides themselves. Each row carries guide_appearance_count (a number); get_restaurant's guide_appearances is the full entry list.
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| city* | string | City slug, always required. Currently 'new-york', covering the five boroughs plus the immediate metro (within 30 km of Manhattan). |
| limit | integer | Max results (default 10) |
| theme | string | Guide theme, e.g. 'ramen', 'brunch' |

}Search restaurants by free text, cuisine, neighbourhood, occasion or price, optionally near a point. Use when the user describes what they want (e.g. 'Italian date night in the West Village', 'ramen near me') rather than naming a specific restaurant. Free text matches names, tags, review prose and guide blurbs (e.g. 'cacio e pepe'). Returns compact matches with Infatuation rating (0–10), price tier, address_line and tags. Cards carry guide_appearance_count (a number); get_restaurant's guide_appearances is the full entry list. Known-closed venues are excluded by default. Coverage for city='new-york' is the five boroughs plus the immediate metro (within 30 km of Manhattan). With no query or filters, returns the highest-rated venues.
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| lat | number | Latitude for proximity search. Must be given together with lng; radius_km defaults to 5 km when omitted. A location outside the NYC coverage area is rejected with an error. |
| lng | number | Longitude for proximity search. Must be given together with lat; radius_km defaults to 5 km when omitted. |
| city* | string | City slug, always required. Currently 'new-york', covering the five boroughs plus the immediate metro (within 30 km of Manhattan). |
| sort | string | Sort by rating (default) or guide appearances |
| limit | integer | Max results (default 10) |

Record feedback on a tool result: a 1–5 rating, a comment, or both (at least one is required). Use after showing the user a recommendation to log what was good or wrong. Each call stores a new feedback entry; it changes nothing the user sees.
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| tool | string | Which tool the feedback is about, e.g. 'search_restaurants' |
| rating | integer | 1 (poor) to 5 (excellent) |
| comment | string | What was good or wrong |

}List the highest-rated restaurants (Infatuation 0–10 scale), with optional cuisine, neighbourhood and price filters. Use for 'best in the city' requests. Differs from search_restaurants: no free-text query, strictly rating-ordered.

Hyphens, spaces and underscores are flexible ('date-night' works); unambiguous prefixes resolve to the full value. Unknown or ambiguous values are rejected with an error. |
