Explore Area
explore_areaGet aggregate dining statistics for a neighborhood, city, or region: cuisine breakdown, grade distribution, price range, top neighborhoods, and highlighted restaurants. Use this for area-level context ("what is the dining scene like in Shoreditch?"), NOT for finding a specific restaurant or getting a personal recommendation. For "find me a quiet Italian near Shoreditch", use the recommend tool instead. Coverage is reported honestly: coverage_level 'full' (fully analyzed rows present), 'basic' (only quick-read rows: review-analysis bands, no letter grades yet), or 'none'; analyzed_count and preliminary_count split total_restaurants, and highlights marked coverage_level 'basic' carry a preliminary_band instead of a grade. not_found means neither analyzed nor preliminary rows exist.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| area | Yes | Neighborhood, city, or region name, in English or the local language. Supports 'Shoreditch', 'Shoreditch, London', 'Rome' or 'Roma', 'Wien', 'Praha', 'Montréal', 'Chelsea, NYC'. Whenever the conversation shows which place is meant, add its city, state or country after a comma, so a shared name needs no guess; other_places lists the others when a name is shared. |
