Quality & Safety
Based on automated analysis of tool definitions and protocol compliance.
Context Cost
This is the approximate number of tokens consumed each time the server's tools are loaded into a model's context. Higher counts reduce the attention available for other tasks.

🟢scaremap_find_haunts(lat, lng, radius_miles, category, season, ...)
Find haunted houses, haunt farms, ghost tours, horror escape rooms and haunted places within a radius of a latitude/longitude, nearest first. Call this when the user gives a place, address or coordinates and wants scary things to do nearby. Geocode a place name to lat/lng first; this tool does not search by name. Filter by category, by season, or by minimum visitor ratings. Unrated haunts (review_count 0) have null ratings and are left out when min_stars or min_scare is set. For a whole city or state use scaremap_find_haunts_in_city. For the full record and reviews of one result use scaremap_get_haunt.

}🟢scaremap_find_haunts_in_city(state, city, category, season, limit)
List haunts in a US state, or in one city of that state, using the same state and city grouping as the ScareMap location pages. Call this when the user names a state or city ("haunted houses in Salem, Massachusetts") and has no coordinates. State accepts a name, a slug or a two-letter code. Results are ordered by review count, then name. If the city is not found, the error lists the cities ScareMap has in that state. To search by distance from a point use scaremap_find_haunts.

}🟢scaremap_get_haunt(slug, id)
Get the full record for one haunt: description, category, season, location, average ratings, and up to 20 of the newest visitor reviews (stars, scare, text, date). Call this after scaremap_find_haunts or scaremap_find_haunts_in_city when the user wants detail on a specific result. Pass the slug from those results, or the haunt id. Reviews are anonymous. A haunt with no reviews returns an empty list.
