Arclight Events

Search real, upcoming events in a city, optionally narrowed to a topic and timeframe. Every event is aggregated from a live source (Luma, Ticketmaster, SeatGeek, Skiddle, confs.tech and others) and links back to it — Arclight never invents listings and holds no tickets. Read-only. Returns paginated results with has_more/next_offset.

Fetch the full detail of one event by its Arclight slug (or its arclight.events URL): title, start time in the venue's own timezone, price, tags, description and the source link. Read-only.

A small curated set of events worth going to in a city over the next few days, chosen for variety rather than raw recency. Use when someone asks what is worth doing rather than for an exhaustive list. Read-only.

      "maximum": 10,
      "default": 3,
      "description": "How many picks to return. Capped at 10 on purpose — this is a curated shortlist chosen for variety, not a search. Use arclight_search_events when an exhaustive list is wanted."

List every metro Arclight covers, with the slug to pass to the other tools, plus the available topic filters. Call this first when unsure whether a city is covered. Read-only, no arguments required.

      "enum": [
        "markdown",

      ],
      "default": "markdown",
      "description": "Output format. 'markdown' to read back to a person, 'json' to compute over."
