Args: hotel_id: The hotel's Vervotech property ID (from search results). checkin: Check-in date in YYYY-MM-DD format. Must be provided with checkout, or both omitted. checkout: Check-out date in YYYY-MM-DD format. Must be provided with checkin, or both omitted.

Book a hotel room using a rate from get_hotel_details. Requires a Gondola account (API key) and a saved payment method. Use get_payment_methods to find your payment ID. The gondola_rate_id comes from the room rates returned by get_hotel_details — each room option has a rate ID you can use here. Guest details (given_name, family_name, email_address, phone_number) can either be passed directly or prefilled from a saved travel profile: pass travel_profile_id (from get_travel_profiles) to book "as <traveler>" without collecting each field. Any field you also pass explicitly overrides the profile. To earn points and elite credit, pass loyalty_account_id — use the Member Number from get_loyalty_accounts that matches the hotel's chain (e.g. the World of Hyatt account for a Hyatt property). When a loyalty_account_id is passed, the booking goes out under the email registered to that membership (overriding any travel profile or email_address), so the stay credits to the right account. Args: gondola_rate_id: The rate ID from get_hotel_details room rates. payment_id: Payment method ID from get_payment_methods. given_name: Guest's first name (optional if travel_profile_id is provided). family_name: Guest's last name (optional if travel_profile_id is provided). email_address: Guest's email for confirmation (optional if travel_profile_id is provided). phone_number: Guest's phone number with country code (optional if travel_profile_id is provided). special_request: Optional special request for the hotel (e.g. "high floor", "late check-in"). loyalty_account_id: Optional Member Number (from get_loyalty_accounts) to earn points. travel_profile_id: Optional travel profile ID (from get_travel_profiles) to prefill guest details. Returns: Booking confirmation with ID and details, or an error message.

Get booking options for a hotel. Presents two explicit booking paths so the path is settled up front rather than discovered mid-conversation: 1. **Check out on Gondola** with a booking link — always available. 2. **Book here now** with an eligible saved card — shown only when the user has a card that can be charged in chat, and referenced by its last 4. Anonymous users get path 1 plus a prompt to sign up for in-chat booking. 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. Defaults to 2. children_ages: Comma-separated ages of children (e.g. "5,8"). Empty string if no children. gondola_rate_id: Optional rate ID from get_hotel_details/compare_rates. When provided, the link deep-links straight to that rate's checkout page. Returns: Booking instructions tailored to the user's auth status.

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. For raw evidence from actual past reservations, routes, hotels, airlines, or flight seats, use get_past_trips. Requires a Gondola account (API key). Returns: Formatted travel context, or instructions to build one.

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.

Args: credit_card_product_name: Exact card product name (preferred when known). card_number_bin: First 6-8 digits of the card number (BIN). card_provider: Card network ("visa", "mastercard", "amex", or "discover"). Required with card_number_bin. Returns: Coverage type, max days, and a human-readable summary.

Shows per-supplier status and a full breakdown of every rate by type.

Search for flights by route and date and return cash-priced options.

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.

Get the user's free night certificates (award nights) across loyalty programs. Returns each certificate's program, how many remain, what it covers, when it expires, and whether a points top-up is allowed. Requires a Gondola account (API key). Returns: Formatted list of free night certificates, or instructions to connect.

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.

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.

Get the user's hotel and airline loyalty accounts with points balances and values.

Shows cash rates, points rates, and value percentiles for each available check-in date. Args: hotel_id: The hotel's Vervotech property ID (from search results). start_date: Start of date range in YYYY-MM-DD format. end_date: End of date range in YYYY-MM-DD format. nights: Number of nights per stay (default: 1).

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.

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.

Requires a Gondola account (API key). Args: limit: Max number of past trips to return, most recent first (default 20). The response notes how many more exist; raise this only when the user wants their full history. Returns: Formatted list of past trips, or instructions to connect an account.

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.

Pass it to book_hotel as `travel_profile_id` 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 the user's upcoming trips including hotel stays, flights, and car rentals.
