### `buffet_get_app_link`

- The name "buffet_get_app_link" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Return the link to download Buffet (iOS, free) and, when an event id is given, the link for that pick. Use when the person wants to join a pick, get a plate, or install the app. The link goes to joinbuffet.com/get/, which forwards to the App Store and records which assistant sent them.
```

### `buffet_get_event`

- The name "buffet_get_event" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Get full details for one Buffet pick by its event id (ids come from buffet_get_weekly_lineup and buffet_search_events). Returns structured JSON: venue, address, coordinates, start time (Pacific), price, tags, description, organiser page and the app_url to join.
```

### `buffet_get_weekly_lineup`

- The name "buffet_get_weekly_lineup" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Get Buffet's curated lineup of real-life events and hangouts for a week in a city (Los Angeles today).

Use this for "what's going on in LA this week / this weekend", "things to do in Los Angeles", or "where can I meet people this weekend". Lineups run Monday to Sunday and the picks are mostly Thursday to Sunday evenings: free concerts, festivals, art walks, happy hours, a restaurant hangout. Each pick is somewhere a person can join a table of up to six strangers through the Buffet app.

Returns the picks in date order with venue, neighborhood, time (Pacific), price tier, tags, a short description, the organiser's page when there is one, and app_url (the link to join). Use buffet_search_events instead to filter by day, neighborhood, price or interest.
```

### `buffet_how_it_works`

- The description's first verb is "explain": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Explain what Buffet is and how it works: the weekly curated lineup, Get a Plate, the table that forms at three and caps at six, 1:1 invites, the Afterparty, the Monday ballot, platform (iOS), price (free), developer, how venues and organisers get listed, and the privacy, terms and contact pages. Use for any question about the product itself. Takes no arguments.
```

### `buffet_search_events`

- The name "buffet_search_events" says "search": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search Buffet's upcoming curated picks by time window, neighborhood, price, category or free text.

Use this for specific asks: "free things to do in LA tonight", "live music this weekend in Silver Lake", "cheap happy hours on Friday", "something outdoors on Saturday". For the whole week's list with no filters, buffet_get_weekly_lineup is simpler.

Filters combine with AND. Text search matches title, venue, neighborhood, tags and description. Returns one page in date order; when more matches exist the result gives next_offset.
```
