Accommodation Shortlist

Use when / do not use when

Use this workflow to compare vacation rentals or accommodation against dates, guest needs, budget, amenities, travel-time anchors, and nearby essentials. Do not use it to book, contact a host, guarantee availability, or provide a generic destination itinerary.

Inputs to resolve

Collect the most specific destination, one date mode, guest counts including children, infants, and pets, budget basis, bedrooms or beds, must-have amenities, trip purpose, and one or more important anchors such as a venue, beach, office, or station.

Tool workflow

The upstream names below are capability labels. Select the currently advertised MCP tool whose description identifies that upstream capability.

1. Call airbnb_search with exactly one mutually exclusive date mode and the resolved constraints. Search no more than two result pages unless the user asks for broader coverage.
2. Select the strongest three to five candidates from explicit constraints, not rating alone.
3. Call airbnb_listing for each candidate with identical fixed dates and guest counts to verify date-specific price, amenities, house rules, description, and location.
4. Use maps_distance_matrix to compare each candidate against the user’s anchors with the relevant transport mode.
5. Use maps_search_places and maps_place_details only for requested nearby essentials or attractions.

Validation and fallback rules

Refetch every shortlisted listing whenever dates or guest counts change. Treat price and availability as time-sensitive and identify missing fees or rules as unknown. Do not infer exact location, accessibility, safety, or legal status from a listing summary. OpenBnB is community-operated, is not affiliated with or endorsed by Airbnb, and depends on public upstream pages that may change.

Output contract

Return a trade-off table with candidate, date-specific price basis, capacity, must-have fit, rating when available, travel times to anchors, nearby essentials, important rules, and caveats. Recommend the best fit by the user’s priorities and include direct provider links for final verification.

Safety and side effects

This workflow is read-only and cannot book. Direct the user to the provider to verify the latest total price, availability, cancellation policy, and listing details before making a purchase.
