Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

search
search
Searches live rental-car offers for a pickup location and rental period, optionally with a different dropoff location, pickup/dropoff times, driver age, currency, and language. Use this when the user wants to compare available rental cars, prices, vendors, categories, or booking links for a specific trip. Do not use it for flights, hotels, public transport, or general travel planning unless the user has car-rental intent. The tool queries external provider APIs in real time, returns price-ranked results grouped by SIPP/category, and may include affiliate booking links. It does not book cars, modify reservations, charge users, or store user data.
