How It Works

Maintains a persistent browser session across tool calls
Handles login state so you only need to authenticate once
Navigates the IHG website to perform searches, bookings, and account management
Returns structured JSON data for all operations

TDQS

A3.9/5.0

Scored 2026-08-08 18:35 across 12 tools

Disambiguation5/5

Each tool targets a distinct action: login, hotel search, hotel details, room rates, booking, reservation management, and rewards. Even similar tools like get_reservations vs get_reservation_details are clearly separate list vs detail operations.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tool names follow a consistent 'ihg_<verb>_<noun>' pattern using snake_case. Verbs are clear and consistent (get, search, book, cancel, modify, redeem), making the API predictable.

Tool Count5/5

The 12 tools are well-scoped for the IHG hotel booking and rewards domain. Each tool covers a necessary function without redundancy, and the count is within the ideal 3-15 range.

Completeness5/5

The tool set covers the full lifecycle: authentication, hotel search/details/rates, booking, reservation retrieval/modification/cancellation, and rewards balance/history/redemption. No obvious gaps for the intended domain.
