    • The name "find_places" says "find": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Find places for a specific occasion in one city — the task-shaped entry point. Give the city and what the evening needs (a cuisine, a neighborhood, a budget, a vibe) and it returns ranked, citable venues with a freshness receipt. Prefer this over search_venues when you are planning rather than browsing.

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "get_hours" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Opening hours for one venue, from the Dim Hour catalog. ALWAYS returns `as_of` and never claims to be live — hours are catalog data, not a live feed, and the receipt says how old they are. Measured 2026-09-16, 82% of venues carry hours; when a venue has none this ABSTAINS and says so rather than guessing. Confirm with the venue before relying on it.

    Description, as the server wrote it

    • The name "list_new_venues" says "list": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Venues recently added to the Dim Hour catalog — across all 26 cities or one city. Use for 'what's new on Dim Hour' / new-opening alerts / weekly digests. Scored places to eat and drink come first; hotels, malls, museums and landmarks carry no `score` and follow them. Recency orders within each group. Dates earlier than 2026-06-06 are estimates reconstructed from history.

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "search_venues" says "search": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Search Dim Hour's restaurant, bar and venue catalog. Pass `city` to search one city, or OMIT `city` to search more than 20,000 venues across every city at once (e.g. 'best ramen anywhere', 'michelin spots'). Returns ranked matches with score (0-100 quality), price tier, neighborhood, happy-hour info, and a dimhour.com link. Free-text `query` matches each content word individually across cuisine, dish, vibe, and name (filler like 'best' or 'tonight' is ignored) - one strong keyword beats a sentence; combine with filters.
