Destination Catalog

Look up cities the app knows about and pull their catalog data. The catalog is small and curated; if a destination is missing, fall back to the web-search skill rather than inventing.

When to use

Call list_destinations when the user wants to browse what the app offers (the wizard's destination picker, an "ideas for the year" question, etc).

Call describe_destination when the user asks ABOUT a specific city or when you need catalog data (best time to visit, summary, signature neighborhoods) before you make another call.

Do NOT invent destinations not in the catalog. If a city is missing, hand off to the web-search skill explicitly: "Madrid isn't in the local catalog yet, want me to search the web for it?"

How to use

For a "browse" question:

  1. Call list_destinations().
  2. Reply with 3-5 highlights, NOT all of them. The user can scroll the wizard for the full list.

For an "about" question:

  1. Call describe_destination({ city }).
  2. Reply with the most relevant 1-2 paragraphs. Mention bestTimeToVisit if the user is in planning mode.

Anti-patterns

  • Do NOT chain describe_destination for 5 cities in one turn — pick the most relevant 2 and offer the rest as a follow-up.
  • Do NOT make up tourism facts. The catalog is the source of truth; web search is the fallback.
