- get_booking_linkshallow
Get booking options for a hotel. Returns a link to Gondola's checkout for this hotel, where the traveler reviews the room and completes payment on the web. This is the booking path for this connection. (Connections belonging to an approved booking partner — which requires the mcp:book OAuth scope — additionally get an in-conversation option here. If you don't see booking tools in your tool list, this connection isn't one of those, and the link is the way to book.) Use this after search_hotels or get_hotel_details when a user wants to book. Pass ``gondola_rate_id`` whenever a specific rate has been surfaced (from get_hotel_details or compare_rates) so the link lands on that rate's checkout page instead of the generic hotel page. Args: hotel_id: The hotel's Vervotech property ID (from search_hotels results). checkin: Check-in date in YYYY-MM-DD format. checkout: Check-out date in YYYY-MM-DD format. num_adults: Number of adult guests.

Returns: Rate calendar with pricing for each available date.
- get_past_tripsshallow
Get the user's past trips including hotel stays and flights. Returns a summary of past travel reservations with dates, confirmation numbers, status, costs, loyalty programs, routes, airlines, ticket class, miles redeemed, and historical flight seat assignments when Gondola parsed real row+letter seats from airline emails. Use this for trip-history questions, including favorite hotels, frequent routes, past airlines, raw seat-assignment evidence, and favorite-seat or aisle/window/side/row preference questions.

- get_travel_profilesshallow
Get the user's saved travel profiles (guest name, email, and phone presets). Each profile has a selectable Profile ID, which prefills the guest name, email, and phone at checkout so the traveler doesn't re-enter them to prefill the guest details — the same "book as <traveler>" selection the website checkout offers — instead of collecting name, email, and phone field by field. Requires a Gondola account (API key). Returns: Formatted list of travel profiles with IDs, or instructions to add one.
- get_traveler_contextshallow
Get the user's saved travel context to personalize recommendations. Returns the user's loyalty programs and elite tiers, home airport, preferred airlines and cabin, preferred hotel chains, typical trip patterns (business vs leisure, budgets, frequent destinations), and any preferences they've stated or that have been learned from past conversations. Call this once at the start of a travel or planning session and weigh it across hotel, flight, and car recommendations — it is the single best source of who this traveler is.

- get_vehicle_booking_linkshallow
Get a Gondola.ai deep link for a specific vehicle from search results. Returns a link to Gondola's checkout for this vehicle, where the traveler reviews the rate and completes the reservation on the web. This is the booking path for this connection. (Connections belonging to an approved booking partner — which requires the mcp:book OAuth scope — additionally get an in-conversation option here.) Args: search_id: Search ID from search_vehicles. vendor_code: Vendor code from search results. rate_code: Rate code of the selected vehicle. pickup_datetime: Pickup date and time in ISO format. dropoff_datetime: Drop-off date and time in ISO format.

- optimize_loyalty_portfolioshallow
Analyze the user's whole loyalty portfolio and surface the highest-value actions. Trip-independent. Looks across every loyalty program the user holds — plus the transferable card currencies (Amex, Chase, Bilt, etc.) that can feed hotel programs — and reports points expiring soon (ranked by value at risk), the best transfer opportunities, and the largest balances. When the user's travel profile is available, it also tailors the view to their home airport, the airlines they fly, their frequent destinations, and when they travel (e.g. flagging points that expire before their usual travel months). Takes no arguments. Use this when the user asks how to make the most of their points, what's expiring, or where they can transfer. For deciding where to book a specific trip, use search_hotels / compare_rates instead. Returns: A Markdown portfolio summary, or instructions to connect accounts when none are linked.
- predict_priceshallow
Predict whether now is a good time to book a hotel, or if the user should wait for a better price. Uses historical price data and trends to assess whether the current price is a good deal. Call this when a user asks "Should I book now or wait?" or wants to know if a price is good. Args: hotel_id: The hotel's Vervotech property ID (from search results). checkin: Check-in date in YYYY-MM-DD format. checkout: Check-out date in YYYY-MM-DD format. nightly_cash_cost: The current nightly cash rate for the hotel. nightly_cash_cost_currency: Currency of the cash rate (e.g. "USD", "EUR"). nightly_points_cost: Optional current nightly points cost for the hotel.

Search live events and return factual event, venue, date, and listed-price metadata.
- search_flightsshallow
Search for flights by route and date and return cash-priced options. Results are ranked for the traveler by the search backend — weighing their airline loyalty/status and travel history alongside flight quality — and returned 10 per page. To see more options, call again with ``page=2``, ``page=3``, and so on. Args: origin: Origin airport code or city (e.g. "LAX", "SFO", "New York"). destination: Destination airport code or city (e.g. "NRT", "LHR", "Paris"). departure_date: Departure date in YYYY-MM-DD format (e.g. "2025-03-15"). return_date: Optional return date in YYYY-MM-DD format for a round trip. In browse mode, round trips are searched as two one-way legs. num_passengers: Number of passengers. Defaults to 1. cabin_class: Optional cabin class preference. One of: "economy", "premium economy", "business", "first". mode: Leave as "browse" (default). "book" is a restricted alpha — only use it if the user explicitly asks to book a flight. page: 1-based results page, 10 options per page. Increment to see more options. airlines: Optional airline codes or names for browse mode (e.g. ["UA"] or ["United"]). Passed to the Google Flights search API. max_stops: Optional maximum stops per direction in browse mode. Use 0 for nonstop only, 1 for nonstop or one-stop itineraries. Returns: A ranked, paged list of flight options — airlines, routes, prices, and a link. Cash prices only. This tool does not currently return award (points/miles) pricing for flights, so do not state or imply a flight's points cost from these results. If the user asks how many miles a flight costs, say that award pricing is not available here right now and point them at the airline's own award search. Hotel award pricing is unaffected: the hotel tools still return points rates and cents-per-point.
- search_hotelsshallow
Search for hotels by location and dates with cash AND points pricing. Returns hotels with side-by-side cash vs points rates, cents-per-point (CPP) valuation, and deal scores so you can recommend the best value. This is Gondola's unique advantage — no other travel search shows both cash and points rates together. Args: location: City name, address, or area to search (e.g. "Tokyo", "Manhattan, New York", "near LAX airport"). checkin: Check-in date in YYYY-MM-DD format (e.g. "2026-04-15"). checkout: Check-out date in YYYY-MM-DD format (e.g. "2026-04-20"). num_adults: Number of adult guests. Defaults to 2. chain_name: Optional hotel chain to filter by (e.g. "marriott", "hilton", "hyatt", "ihg"). Case-insensitive substring match against each result's chain. If nothing matches, the unfiltered results are returned with an explicit note so you don't keep retrying. loyalty_programs: Optional list of the user's loyalty programs (e.g. ["hilton_honors", "marriott_bonvoy"]). When provided, results include personalized earnings and tier benefits like 5th night free. loyalty_points: Optional dict of program name to points balance (e.g. {"hilton_honors": 250000}). When provided, results indicate whether the user can afford each hotel with points. limit: Max number of hotels to return (default 20). The response notes how many more exist and how to narrow; raise this only when the user explicitly wants a longer list. Returns: Formatted list of hotels with cash rates, points rates, CPP valuation, and deal recommendations.
- search_vehiclesshallow
Search for rental vehicles at an airport or city. Args: pickup_location: Airport IATA code (e.g. "LAX", "JFK", "SFO"). pickup_datetime: Pickup date and time in ISO format (e.g. "2025-03-15T10:00:00"). dropoff_datetime: Drop-off date and time in ISO format (e.g. "2025-03-20T10:00:00"). vehicle_class: Optional preference: Economy, Compact, Standard, FullSize, Premium, Luxury, SUV, Van. Returns: List of available rental vehicles with rates and details.
- update_traveler_profileshallow
Save a learned travel preference or experience to the user's traveler profile. Use when the user shares a durable preference, like, dislike, or trip experience that should inform future recommendations — "Always takes a window seat", "Prefers boutique hotels over chains", "Vegetarian". Don't save temporary logistics like "my flight lands at 3pm". Saved entries come back from get_traveler_context in later sessions, which is how a preference stated once is still known next time. Requires a Gondola account (API key). Args: profile_entry: The preference or experience to save. Be specific and actionable. Good: "Prefers ocean-view rooms". Bad: "Liked the hotel". Returns: Confirmation of the saved entry, or an error message.
