Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on.
If a tool disappears, we record the date.
entry
entry_rules
Use this for the Galápagos national park entrance fee, the transit control card (TCT) and the entry and visitor rules: fee by nationality group and age, total for a group, where and when each is paid, return ticket, health insurance, stay limit, biosecurity (banned food and plant items), naturalist guides, the 2-metre rule, drones, currency and ATMs, each with its official source. Examples: "How much is the Galápagos park fee for a family of four?" / "¿Cuánto cuesta la entrada al Parque Nacional Galápagos?"
estimate
estimate_trip_cost
Use this when someone wants to know what a Galápagos trip costs or needs a budget. Adds up the national park fee, transit control card, return flight from Quito or Guayaquil, an optional airport hotel night, hotels or a cruise, ferries, water taxis, the Isabela dock fee, day tours and food for the given days, travellers, style and islands. Returns every line, the total, per person and per person per day in US dollars, and shows a printed receipt card. All inputs are optional. Examples: "What does 8 days in the Galápagos cost for two people?" / "¿Cuánto cuesta un viaje de 8 días a Galápagos para dos personas?"
ferry
ferry_board
Use this for inter-island ferry (public speedboat) questions in the Galápagos: departure times between Santa Cruz (Puerto Ayora), Isabela (Puerto Villamil), San Cristóbal (Puerto Baquerizo Moreno) and Floreana, crossing time, fares, water taxi and dock fees, and how rough the crossing usually is in a month (seasickness meter 1–5, morning or afternoon boat). Shows a live departures board card. Examples: "When does the ferry leave Santa Cruz for Isabela?" / "¿A qué hora sale la lancha de Santa Cruz a Isabela?"
land
land_or_cruise
Use this when someone cannot decide between a Galápagos cruise and a land-based (island-hopping from hotels) trip. Scores six answers (budget per person, how they feel on boats, remote islands or freedom, who travels, how far ahead they book, wish for town life) and returns cruise, land-based or a close call with the reasons and an 8-day cost comparison. Every answer is optional; a missing one counts as the middle option. Examples: "Should we do a Galápagos cruise or island hopping? I get seasick." / "¿Crucero o islas por tierra en Galápagos? Me mareo en barco."
live
live_conditions
Use this when someone asks about the weather or sea temperature in the Galápagos right now or today: air temperature, sky, wind, rain in the next hour and satellite sea surface temperature for Puerto Ayora, Puerto Baquerizo Moreno, Puerto Villamil and Puerto Velasco Ibarra, with the local time. For typical weather in a month use month_guide. Examples: "What's the weather in Puerto Ayora right now?" / "¿Qué tiempo hace ahora en Galápagos?"
month
month_guide
Use this when someone asks about the Galápagos in a given month or the best time to visit: air and sea temperature, typical rain, sea state and ferry seasickness level, crowds, wetsuit advice, and what the wildlife is doing that month (albatross, booby courtship, turtle nesting, whale and hammerhead season and more). Examples: "What is the Galápagos like in August?" / "¿Cómo está el clima en Galápagos en agosto?"
plan
plan_itinerary
Use this when someone wants a day-by-day Galápagos itinerary for a land-based (island-hopping) trip: which islands, how many nights on each, ferry days and what to do each day for a wildlife, snorkelling or budget focus, from arrival at Baltra (GPS) or San Cristóbal (SCY) to departure. Shows a route map card. All inputs are optional. Examples: "Plan 7 days of island hopping in the Galápagos." / "Arma un itinerario de 7 días por las islas Galápagos."
visitor
visitor_site
Use this for a named Galápagos visitor site or to list the main ones by island: Kicker Rock, Tortuga Bay, Las Grietas, North Seymour, Bartolomé, Los Túneles, Sierra Negra and others. Returns how to get there (walk-in or boat tour), duration, best months and what you see. Examples: "How do I get to Kicker Rock?" / "¿Cómo llego a Las Grietas?"
wildlife
find_wildlife
Use this when someone asks where or when to see an animal in the Galápagos (giant tortoise, marine or land iguana, sea lion, blue-footed, red-footed or Nazca booby, penguin, flightless cormorant, frigatebird, Darwin's finches, green turtle, Sally Lightfoot crab, flamingo, whitetip reef shark, fur seal, waved albatross, hammerhead, red-lipped batfish), or which animals they can see in a month or around an island. Returns the odds, best months, sites with how to reach them, a fun fact and the Big 15 bingo card. Examples: "Where can I see penguins in the Galápagos?" / "¿Dónde puedo ver piqueros de patas azules en Galápagos?"
