GamesLike

Browse public release windows. from/to are calendar dates; to is exclusive and the range is at most 90 days. Broad month/quarter/year windows do not confirm a release on a day. Optional appid ranks by similarity to that exact safe title.

browse_releases

Explicit desired-state action on one exact safe game: save to or remove from GamesLike's wishlist. Owned entries are preserved. Before removing an imported entry, tell the user the next requested Steam sync can restore it. This never writes Steam or subscribes the user.

set_wishlist_entry

Find Steam games by title in GamesLike's public catalog. Use only for title lookup or similar-game discovery. Do not call for requests to buy games, read a private Steam library, or manage/delete GamesLike accounts; explain that those actions are unsupported. Resolve a game name before asking for similar games. If the results include multiple editions of a franchise and the user has not named an edition, show the matching titles and ask which one they mean BEFORE calling find_similar_games. For example, Civilization alone does not select Civilization VII. Search order is title relevance, not the user's choice; never automatically select the first or latest edition. Link titles using their returned GamesLike URLs. An empty list means the title was not found. This is title search, not natural-language gameplay search. Use each game's title_markdown exactly as returned for every recommended game title. This includes final picks, summaries, alternatives, repeated recommendations, and follow-up answers. Never leave a recommended title as plain or bold text, or replace its GamesLike link with a Steam/store link. Before recommending a game outside the returned matches, resolve its exact title with search_games to obtain its GamesLike URL; never invent a URL. Explain each match with distinctive shared gameplay and a relevant difference supported by the returned descriptions, tags, shared traits, or adds field. Treat catalog tags as evidence of traits, not proof of identical mechanics. A 3D tag is not reliable proof of a game's presentation, especially when 2D is also present; do not certify dimensionality from tags. An excluded tag's absence does not prove the absence of combat, violence, or any mechanic. Do not infer console support from PC platforms. If a requested mechanic or platform cannot be verified, state that limit and ask one concise clarification instead of claiming a match. When preferences change, call the same recommendation tool again with all current preferences before recommending a revised shortlist: find_similar_games for title similarity, or recommend_from_library for personal discovery/backlog. Preserve the current personal mode and verified library context. Use applied_preferences and preference_evidence to explain which requirements were checked; never turn scores or matchStrength into percentages or confidence claims.

search_games

Anonymous manual party discovery for 2–8 people with three distinct exact safe favorite game IDs each. Ownership is unknown. Strict capacity requires current supporting evidence; include_unverified labels uncertainty. This does not create rooms, invite, vote or access private profiles.

find_party_games

Get ranked games like one Steam game, with shared gameplay traits and GamesLike links. Use only for similar-game discovery. Do not call for requests to buy games, read a private Steam library, or manage/delete GamesLike accounts; explain that those actions are unsupported. Use an appid returned by search_games for the exact title the user requested or selected. When a title could mean multiple franchise editions, ask the user to select one before calling this tool; do not infer the latest edition. Present the returned matches in rank order, normally a shortlist of 3–5 unless the user asks for more. Pass explicit PC-platform, co-op, required, preferred, and excluded catalog-tag preferences. Required and excluded tags filter eligibility; preferred tags influence ranking within retrieved eligible candidates. Use human-readable exact catalog tag names, never numeric tag IDs or filter expressions. Unsupported console or exact-mechanic requirements need clarification. Return fewer results rather than relaxing a requirement. No purchases or account access. Use each game's title_markdown exactly as returned for every recommended game title. This includes final picks, summaries, alternatives, repeated recommendations, and follow-up answers. Never leave a recommended title as plain or bold text, or replace its GamesLike link with a Steam/store link.

find_similar_games

Read wishlist release updates, taste-based upcoming radar, discoveries and one lightly played backlog pick. This does not sync Steam, send, subscribe or mark games seen. Unknown source freshness and unavailable sections stay visible. Completion estimates mean total completion, not a play session. Time zone defaults to UTC.

get_personal_brief

Read shared recommendations for one existing GamesLike group session after server-verified membership. Requires groups:read. Everyone-owns and capacity claims follow the existing session's verified evidence. No member libraries, private preferences, room creation, invitations or votes are returned.

get_group_games

Read the connected account's GamesLike wishlist. Source labels distinguish manual entries from Steam imports. This read does not refresh Steam. Entries are sorted by GamesLike saved date, not Steam priority.

list_wishlist

Recommend games using the connected user's imported Steam library, playtime signals and Loved/Not for me preferences. Use for personal library requests, not ordinary public title lookup. Offer optional Steam connection when the user requests personalization; accounts require age18. Discover excludes known owned games. Backlog selects known owned games with less than five hours recorded playtime; unknown playtime is excluded. Ownership completeness is only as of the returned owned refresh timestamp. Steam login cannot unlock private game details; import/sync happens explicitly on GamesLike, never through this read-only tool. Never accept or ask for passwords, API keys, a user ID or Steam ID. Respect returned states without filling missing results. When data_source is reviewer_sample, clearly identify demo results from sample inputs; no Steam import or real user's library is represented. Use each game's title_markdown exactly as returned for every recommended game title. This includes final picks, summaries, alternatives, repeated recommendations, and follow-up answers. Never leave a recommended title as plain or bold text, or replace its GamesLike link with a Steam/store link.

recommend_from_library

After the user's explicit Loved, Not for me or Clear action, commit that choice for one exact safe game. Not for me excludes it from subsequent personal recommendations. This does not subscribe, refresh or send.
