search
Find Disney parks attractions, restaurants, and shows by ID or name using fuzzy matching for Walt Disney World or Disneyland.
Instructions
Search for Disney entities by ID or name. Uses fuzzy matching for name queries like 'Space Mountain' or 'Be Our Guest'. For conceptual queries like 'thrill rides' or 'romantic dinner', use discover instead.
Input Schema

Implementation Reference
- src/tools/search.ts:60-226 (handler)The main handler function for the 'search' tool. Handles exact lookup by ID or fuzzy matching by name for Disney entities (attractions, dining, shows). Falls back to API fetches if not in local DB, performs fuzzy search, returns best match with alternatives and confidence scores.
export const handler: ToolHandler = async (args) => { return withTimeout( "search", async () => { const id = args.id as string | undefined; const name = args.name as string | undefined; const destination = args.destination as DestinationId | undefined; const entityType = args.entityType as EntityType | undefined; // Require either id or name if (!id && !name) { return formatErrorResponse( new ValidationError("Either 'id' or 'name' is required", "id|name", null) ); } try { // Direct ID lookup if (id) { const entity = await getEntityById(id); if (!entity) { // Try fetching from API if not in local DB const client = getDisneyFinderClient(); const fetched = await client.getEntityById(id); if (!fetched) { return { content: [ { type: "text" as const, text: JSON.stringify( { id, found: false, message: "No entity found with this ID", }, null, 2 ), }, ], }; } return formatEntityResult(fetched); } return formatEntityResult(entity); } // Fuzzy name search if (name) { // First try fuzzy search in database let candidates = await searchEntitiesByName<DisneyEntity>(name, { destinationId: destination, entityType, limit: EXTENDED_SEARCH_LIMIT, }); // If no results in DB, fetch from API first if (candidates.length === 0) { const client = getDisneyFinderClient(); const destinations = destination ?
