🟢search_places(query, decade, limit)
Find the places Yore has researched: each is a sourced study of what one town, county or city was like in one decade (work, faith, law, money, dangers, news, year by year). Search by any words from the place's name or region ("Wilkes-Barre", "Luzerne Pennsylvania", "Essex England"), optionally in one decade. With no query it lists everything.

"type": "object",
"properties": {
"query": {
"type": "string",
"description": "Words from the place name or region. Leave out to list all."
},
"decade": {

"description": "A decade as its first year, e.g. 1880."
},
"limit": {
"type": "integer",

}
}
}🟢get_place(place, decade)

"properties": {
"place": {
