Search Events

search_events

Read-onlyIdempotent

Use this when a user asks what's on and names a city, a venue, an artist, or a timeframe. Returns up to limit live events with local times (when), venue and address, price, genres, vibe, lineup, set times and links; count is the total matching. Pass profile_id and profile_secret to rank by saved taste (saved taste ranks results, it never filters them). Filters you pass (genres, vibe, event_types, price_max, venue, featuring) are hard filters; avoid and max_price are ranking hints. When nothing matches, the result carries no_results with how many events exist without the filters and ordered suggested_relaxations you can retry directly.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema

Name	Required	Description
`city`	No	City name or slug, for example berlin, 'new york', NYC, LA, 'São Paulo'. Required unless query, venue, featuring or promoter is given.
`free`	No	Only free-entry events.
`rank`	No	relevance (default) keeps the API order; taste ranks the page by the genres, vibe, avoid and budget in this request.
`vibe`	No	Hard filter, for example underground, intimate, high-energy, queer-friendly, outdoors, free-entry.
`when`	No	Timeframe preset resolved in the city's local timezone: today, tonight, tomorrow, weekend, next weekend, week, next week, month, monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, friday, saturday, sunday, any, or an exact date as YYYY-MM-DD. Use date_from/date_to instead for a custom range.
`avoid`	No	Ranking penalties, for example mainstream, huge crowds, expensive tickets, or any word to avoid in titles and tags.
`limit`	No	Events to return per page (1-200, default 12; rank: taste returns at most 50). count is the total available; page with next_cursor.
`pride`	No	Only Pride / LGBTQ+ flagged events.
`query`	No	Free-text search, hybrid-ranked by the live API (exact > substring > fuzzy > semantic). Pass soft intent directly, for example 'dark queer warehouse rave' or 'ambient listening bar', or an artist or event name.
`venue`	No	Hard filter on venue name (text match), for example Berghain.
`cursor`	No	Opaque next_cursor returned by a prior search_events call. Takes precedence over offset.
`fields`	No	Extra per-event fields: description (long form), coordinates, socials, promoters (full objects). Images and source are always included. Omit for the compact default.
`genres`	No	Hard filter, for example techno, house, jazz, hip hop, ambient.
`offset`	No	Legacy pagination offset; prefer cursor. Pass back next_offset from the previous page, never a number you computed. Applies to relevance ranking only; taste ranking scores one window and ignores it.
`date_to`	No	Inclusive end date, YYYY-MM-DD (city-local).
`sort_by`	No	soonest (chronological), popular (default for multi-day ranges), cost, event_type, or distance (needs origin_lat/origin_lng). Single-day requests default to soonest.
`promoter`	No	Hard filter on promoter slug or display name.
`date_from`	No	Inclusive start date, YYYY-MM-DD (city-local). Overrides `when`.
`featuring`	No	Hard filter on an artist or performer on the lineup.
`max_price`	No	Soft budget used for ranking (over-budget events drop, they are not hidden). Use price_max for a hard cap.
`price_max`	No	Hard filter: maximum ticket price. Events without a listed price are excluded when set.
`price_min`	No	Hard filter: minimum ticket price.
`origin_lat`	No	Latitude for sort_by=distance ('near me'). Only pass coordinates the user gave you.
`origin_lng`	No	Longitude for sort_by=distance.
`profile_id`	No	Optional Dizko preference profile id; pass with profile_secret to rank by saved and learned taste as well. rank then defaults to taste.
`event_types`	No	Hard filter. Vocabulary: party, live music, concert, art, museum, comedy, theatre, talk, meetup, food, festival, wellness, sports.
`neighborhoods`	No	Hard filter on neighborhood names, for example kreuzberg, bushwick.
`profile_secret`	No	Private profile secret returned when the profile was created.

A4.4/5.0

Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already cover readOnly/idempotent/non-destructive, and the description adds real substance: taste from profile_id ranks but never filters, hard vs soft filters, and a no_results payload with ordered suggested_relaxations that can be retried. That is genuine behavioral context beyond the annotations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

A single dense paragraph, front-loaded with the usage trigger, then return shape, then filter semantics, then the no-results path. Every sentence carries information that affects an invocation; nothing is filler.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

With 28 parameters and no output schema, the description helpfully characterizes the returned fields, count semantics, and empty-result behavior. It leaves some structured behavior (pagination via next_cursor, fields selection) to the schema, but nothing essential is missing for correct invocation.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3, but the description adds the crucial distinction that genres/vibe/event_types/price_max/venue/featuring are hard filters while avoid/max_price are ranking hints, and clarifies the profile_id+profile_secret pairing. This meaningfully supplements the schema.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource (search live events) plus the trigger condition (user asks what's on and names a city, venue, artist, or timeframe), and enumerates the return payload. This is distinct from siblings like recommend_events, get_event, and get_artist_events.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Gives a clear when-to-use trigger and explains the hard-filter vs ranking-hint split, which governs how to pick parameters. It does not explicitly name alternative tools (e.g. recommend_events) or state when this tool should not be used, so it stops short of a 5.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
