Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| search_stopsA | Search for public transport stops/stations by name. Args: query: Partial or full stop name to search for, e.g. "Flinders" or "Oakleigh". limit: Maximum number of results to return. |
| list_routesA | List public transport routes, optionally filtered by mode. Args: mode: One of "metro_train", "metro_tram", "metro_bus", "regional_train", "regional_bus", "regional_coach", "skybus", "night_bus". Omit to list across all modes. limit: Maximum number of results to return. |
| get_next_departuresA | Get upcoming scheduled departures for a given stop, across all routes serving it. Note: this reads the static GTFS schedule (not live GPS positions), so results reflect the timetable, not real-time delays. Args: stop_name: Name (or partial name) of the stop/station to look up. limit: Maximum number of departures to return. |
| run_sql_queryA | Run a read-only SQL SELECT query against the GTFS database directly, for questions the other tools don't cover. Only SELECT statements are permitted. Available tables: routes, stops, trips, stop_times, calendar (each has a gtfs_mode column identifying the transport mode). Use the ptv://schema resource to see column details. Args: query: A single SQL SELECT statement. |
Prompts
Interactive templates invoked by user choice
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| trip_planner | A reusable prompt template for planning a trip between two stops. |
Resources
Contextual data attached and managed by the client
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| get_schema | Returns the column names and types for every table in the database, so the model can write informed run_sql_query calls without guessing at column names. |
