Measured tools (6)

• search_events read-only

  Search upcoming events (festivals, carnivals, concerts, food + cultural events) across the Caribbean, Latin America, and beyond. Returns event names, dates, locations, category, price (when known), and page URLs. Strongest coverage: Barbados, Trinidad, Jamaica, Bahamas, Mexico.

  Parameters:

  • city — string — City name filter
  • limit — number — Max results, 1-50 (default 10)
  • query — string — Free-text search over title and description
  • offset — number — Skip this many matching results (for paging past the limit)
  • country — string — ISO-3166 alpha-2 country code, e.g. BB, TT, JM
  • category — string — Filter by event category
  • near_lat — number — Latitude to search near (pair with near_lng)
  • near_lng — number — Longitude to search near (pair with near_lat)
  • radius_km — number — Search radius in km around near_lat/near_lng (default 25, max 500)
  • entry_model — string — Filter by how someone gets in: 'free' = confirmed free entry, 'ticketed' = Pifini sells tickets, 'external' = paid but sold elsewhere, 'mixed' = umbrella event with both free and paid components, 'unknown' = not yet confirmed either way.
  • include_past — boolean — Include past events (default false)
  • starts_after — string — Earliest start. A bare date ('2026-08-01') matches the event's LOCAL calendar date in its own timezone and is inclusive — this is what you want for 'what's on this weekend'. A full ISO timestamp ('2026-08-01T18:00:00Z') is compared as an exact UTC instant instead.
  • starts_before — string — Latest start, same rules as starts_after. A bare date is inclusive of that whole local day, so starts_after='2026-08-13' with starts_before='2026-08-13' returns everything happening on the 13th where it happens.

• get_event read-only

  Full details for one event by slug: description, venue, date/time, and available ticket types with prices and remaining stock. Use the slug from search_events.

  Parameters:

  • slug (required) — string — Event slug from search_events

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent yes · open-world no

• search_places read-only

  Search Pifini's places directory across the Caribbean and Latin America — restaurants, bars, beaches, attractions, venues, hotels, tour operators, professionals, and services. Every result carries listing_type: 'curated' is a small, editorially reviewed set of flagship entries; 'directory' is the much larger set sourced from open map data (name, category, location, contact info) that has no reviews yet — say so rather than implying a recommendation the data doesn't back up. Category is a specific Overture taxonomy value (e.g. caribbean_restaurant, church_cathedral), not a broad bucket — call list_categories first if unsure of the exact value. Results marked is_sponsored are paid placements — disclose that when recommending.

  Parameters:

  • city — string — City name filter
  • limit — number — Max results, 1-50 (default 10)
  • query — string — Free-text search over name and summary
  • offset — number — Skip this many matching results (for paging past the limit)
  • country — string — ISO-3166 alpha-2 country code
  • category — string — Filter by exact category value (e.g. 'caribbean_restaurant'). Use list_categories to discover valid values — there are 1,000+, not a small fixed set.
  • near_lat — number — Latitude to search near (pair with near_lng)
  • near_lng — number — Longitude to search near (pair with near_lat)
  • radius_km — number — Search radius in km around near_lat/near_lng (default 25, max 500)
  • entity_type — string — Filter by broad type of place

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent yes · open-world no

• get_place read-only

  Full details for one place by slug, including its most recent published reviews if any exist. listing_type distinguishes a curated entry from an unreviewed directory listing (see search_places) — recent_reviews is often an empty array, which means no reviews yet, not a low-quality place. Use the slug from search_places.

  Parameters:

  • slug (required) — string — Place slug from search_places

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent yes · open-world no

• list_categories read-only

  Discover valid category values for search_places. Pifini's places directory uses Overture Maps' taxonomy — over 1,000 specific values like caribbean_restaurant, church_cathedral, landmark_and_historical_building — rather than broad buckets, so guessing a category string will usually miss. Call this first with a rough query (e.g. 'coffee' or 'beach') to find the exact value, then pass it to search_places' category parameter.

  Parameters:

  • limit — number — Max results, 1-100 (default 30)
  • query — string — Rough term to match against category values, e.g. 'coffee', 'beach'
  • country — string — ISO-3166 alpha-2 country code — only return categories present in that country

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent yes · open-world no

• create_ticket_checkout

  Create a secure Stripe-hosted payment link for event tickets. Returns a checkout URL — give it to the human to complete payment themselves; each ticket is then emailed with its QR code and its own link, which opens on any phone and can be saved to WhatsApp. Get ticket_type_id values from get_event. Always confirm the exact tickets and total with the human before calling this.

  Parameters:

  • event_slug (required) — string — Event slug
  • items (required) — array — Ticket selections
  • buyer_email (required) — string — Email to deliver tickets to (required — ask the human)
  • buyer_name — string — Buyer's name (optional)
