Published prices, areas served and booking options for 3,600 New York area event vendors (photographers, DJs, caterers, florists, planners, bands, videographers, photo booths), each fact with its source page and date, plus median prices by category and area. Read-only, no key.
Scored across 4 tools
Each tool targets a distinct unit of retrieval: one vendor record (get_vendor), the category roster (list_categories), aggregate price statistics (price_summary), and filtered vendor discovery (search_vendors). While search_vendors and price_summary both filter by category and price, one returns vendors and the other returns statistics, and the descriptions make that boundary explicit. An agent can pick the right tool without guessing.
Three tools follow a clean verb_noun pattern (get_vendor, list_categories, search_vendors) with snake_case throughout. price_summary breaks the pattern as a noun_noun label, though it remains readable and self-descriptive. A minor deviation, not a source of confusion.
Four tools is lean but each covers a genuinely different access pattern: lookup by identifier, enumeration, aggregation, and search. Nothing feels redundant, and nothing is so broad that it collapses multiple operations into one. Slightly small for the surface area, but well scoped for a read-only index.
The surface covers the core read-only lifecycle: enumerate categories, search vendors with rich filters, retrieve full vendor detail, and get category price distributions. The main gap is that search_vendors requires a category, so there is no way to browse or discover vendors across all categories at once. Minor, since category-level exploration is the apparent intent.
Every published fact about one vendor, each with the quote from the vendor's site, the page it came from and the date it was read. Pass the vendor's name, its index_page URL, or its slug.
Inputs: vendor (required).
The vendor categories in the index, with how many vendors each has, how many publish a price, and the median published starting price for a whole event where there are enough prices.
Inputs: no named parameters.
What New York area event vendors in one category publish as a starting price for a whole event: the median and the middle half (25th to 75th percentile), from how many vendors, and when. Optional area. Also per-hour or per-guest figures where the category is priced that way. Comes with one sentence you can quote and the page to cite.
Inputs: category (required), area.
Find New York area event vendors in one category (for example "photographers", "DJ", "florist", "live band"). Optional: an area (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, Staten Island, Long Island, Westchester, North Jersey, Central Jersey), a maximum published starting price in US dollars, only vendors that publish a price, only vendors whose site shows online booking, or part of a name. Results are sorted by bookability score (0 to 100: how much an AI agent can learn and do on the vendor's own site), then price. Each result has the starting price with what it covers, how to book, and the page to cite.
Inputs: category (required), area, limit, has_price, +3 more.
