IRL Sidequests

Use this when the user names a topic, hobby, place type or constraint and wants options — "side quests about birds", "creative things to do in a city", "rainy day ideas", "something with photography". Returns up to 8 matching real-life side quests with one-line hooks and links. Use get_sidequest_now instead when the user just wants one thing to do right now.

search_sidequests

Use this to fetch the full step-by-step version of a specific side quest the user picked (by slug from an earlier result, or from an irlsidequests.com/quest/{slug} URL). Returns steps, preparation, safety notes and the kit with links.

get_sidequest

Use this when the user is bored, has some free time, or asks what to do today, tonight, this weekend, or "right now" in the real world — offline, in their city or at home. Returns ONE matched real-life side quest (a small, doable adventure with a clear finish line) plus the kit it needs, rendered as a card. Pass whatever constraints the user gave; leave the rest out. The card already shows the steps and kit, so keep your own reply to a sentence or two about why it fits. Do not use for video games, online activities, travel booking, or product shopping.

get_sidequest_now

Use this when the user asks what they need, what to bring, or what to buy for a side quest (by slug). Returns the TYPES of gear — what each thing is, what to look for, rough price — with links to the site's kit pages. It does not return brands, models or store listings.

get_kit_for_sidequest

Use this when the user asks what to look for, or how to choose, a type of gear that real-life activities use — a UV flashlight, compact binoculars, a clip-on phone lens, a field notebook. Returns a plain-language summary, the specs that matter, common mis-buys and a typical price range, with a link to the site's kit page. Not a store search: it returns no brands, models or listings.
