🟢search_location(query, limit, language)
Use this when a map poster needs a place's coordinates, such as the street or venue to mark (where a couple met, a new home), or when the place the user named is ambiguous (several towns share the name) and they should pick one. Finds a city, neighborhood, street address, venue, landmark or coordinates and gives its coordinates and a suggested zoom level; use the result with create_poster. Not for directions, travel times, general map questions or the user's current location.

"query": {

}🟢list_themes(render_mode, search)
Use this when the user wants to see or choose a map poster's style: its colors, a mood (minimalist, black and white, vintage, blueprint, dark, pastel, or pink for a wedding or anniversary) or a theme by name. Lists the MapPoster themes (color styles) with their key colors, whether the PNG download covers them, and which ones are for personal use only. Pass the theme key to create_poster.

"type": "object",
"properties": {
"render_mode": {

}🟢create_poster(place, lat, lon, zoom, language, ...)
Designs a map poster and shows it in the chat. Use this when the user wants a map poster, map print, map wall art or map wallpaper of a real place, or a map poster as an anniversary, Valentine's, wedding, engagement or housewarming gift tied to a place: where a couple met or married, a first home, a hometown, a city someone is leaving, a trip, a marathon someone ran or a birthplace. Not for general gift advice, directions, travel plans, star or night-sky maps, photo posters, 3D, wooden, scratch-off or push-pin maps, or hiking trails and GPX tracks. Takes a city, neighborhood, address, landmark or coordinates (up to three places) and links to the MapPoster editor to fine-tune it or, in the drawn map styles, order it printed. Give a `place` or `lat`/`lon`; the rest is optional. Nothing is saved or bought: the design lives in the link.
