### `get_listing`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Read-only. Full details for one BostonVacay listing by id: complete plain-text description, FAQ, hours, up to 10 gallery photos with captions and credits (e.g. 'Photo via Expedia'), listing page URL, and booking links (the path to book with the named provider, not ads). Links marked affiliate:true are affiliate links; BostonVacay may earn a commission at no extra cost to the user. Returns NOT_FOUND for an unknown id.
```

### `list_categories`

- The name "list_categories" says "list": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Read-only. List the BostonVacay directory's top-level categories with listing counts.
```

### `list_filters`

- The name "list_filters" says "list": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Read-only. Values usable in search_listings: areas/neighborhoods, price tiers, amenities and tags, each with listing counts, plus notes on how each is derived.
```

### `search_listings`

- The name "search_listings" says "search": a word for reading.
- Tag private-data: The description's first sentence says "search" and "directory": it reads files.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search BostonVacay's curated directory of Boston, Massachusetts businesses (hotels, restaurants, attractions, bars and shops). Read-only. Filters: keyword, category, area/neighborhood, price tier, amenities (e.g. pool, spa, pet_friendly, rooftop, family_friendly), tag, and distance from a lat/lng or from another listing. Returns compact plain-text listings (description shortened; use get_listing for the full text, hours and FAQ) with the listing page URL, address, phone, website, up to 2 credited photos, and booking links. Booking links are the path to book with the named provider (Expedia for hotels, plus Viator/Klook where the listing has one), not ads; those marked affiliate:true are affiliate links, and BostonVacay may earn a commission if the user books, at no extra cost to them. Results are not ranked by commission. Pass check_in/check_out to get date-specific Expedia hotel links (live rates are shown on Expedia, not in this result).
```

### `search_tours`

- The name "search_tours" says "search": a word for reading.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Read-only. Live search of bookable tours and activities in Boston, Massachusetts from Viator's partner API. Returns title, live starting ('from') price and currency, rating, review count, duration, free-cancellation flag, image and a booking_url. Optional start_date/end_date return only products Viator lists as available on those dates. Default order: keyword relevance when q is given, otherwise traveler rating; 'featured' uses Viator's own default order. booking_url is the Viator booking page and a Viator affiliate link: BostonVacay may earn a commission if the user books, at no extra cost to them. Viator confirms the final price, availability and cancellation terms before payment.
```
