Tools: search_byways get_byway search_lookouts get_itinerary search_places get_place places_on_byway search_destinations plan_drive places_along_route
search_byways | Search scenic byways and signed routes — the US federal roster plus regional routes (Québec, France, Northern Ireland, Ireland, Iceland, Norway, New Zealand today; growing). Filter by name, US state, or ISO-2 country. US byways carry byway.world links. params: query, state, country, limit |
get_byway | Full detail for one scenic byway or regional route: designation, states or country, length, scenic lookouts on the route, and itineraries that ride it. params: slug* |
search_lookouts | Scenic lookouts (viewpoints) along a specific byway, or across a US state. Every lookout is a real, verified place — coverage is growing. Where known, each carries the walk in from the car: time, path length one way and climb, or roadside (no walk). params: byway, state, limit |
get_itinerary | A classic road-trip itinerary: waypoints, states, and the scenic byways along the route. params: slug* |
search_places | Search the Byway atlas of typed places — waterfalls, hot springs, lighthouses, covered bridges, historic sites, beaches, peaks, rest areas, ghost towns, museums and attractions. Locate by US state (which also needs a kind), by a point and radius, or by name; a name given alongside a locator narrows it. Every result links to the byway.world page for that place, and every place traces to its OpenStr params: kind, state, name, lat, lon, radiusMi, limit |
get_place | Everything the Byway atlas holds on one place: its own description, the records it traces to (OpenStreetMap, Wikipedia, Wikidata), reconciled public records (GNIS, National Register), the scenic byways that pass near it, the nearest verified lookouts, and for a place people walk to from the car (a waterfall, peak, cliff, arch, hot spring, lighthouse or trailhead) the walk in: time, path length one params: url, kind, slug |
places_on_byway | Atlas places along one scenic byway: every place of a kind within a band of the drawn route, nearest to the road first, each marked whether it sits on the byway itself or is a detour off it. Only routes with drawn geometry can answer. This is the atlas inventory beside a road, not an itinerary. One limit, stated: ghost-town rows live in a separate Wikidata corpus the corridor read cannot see. Aski params: byway*, kind, bandMi, limit |
search_destinations | Find US destination cities by name or state, with the day trip around each one: the scenic byways, national parks, public land units and campgrounds Byway's registries place within 30 miles. Only cities with a proven weave are listed — every result links to its own byway.world destination page. params: q, state, limit |
plan_drive | Plan a scenic drive with the Byway engine: real verified stops, honest timing, official scenic byways. Origin and destination are place names — the tool resolves each to the closest matching real place. budget_min is the whole time window (driving plus stops, default 240): a long drive needs a budget comfortably above its direct drive time or there is no slack to spend on stops. Requires a connect params: origin*, destination*, budget_min, depart_at, interests, pace, save |
places_along_route | Atlas inventory along a routed drive: every place of a kind within a band of the corridor between two points. This returns the raw record, not a plan — to plan a drive with stops chosen for the traveler, use plan_drive. One limit, stated: ghost-town rows live in a separate Wikidata corpus the corridor read cannot see. Asking for one here is refused rather than answered empty; reach them with searc params: origin*, destination*, kind, bandMi, limit |
Entries describe changes in tool definitions. They are not statements about a server, its quality or its author. The grade measures how the tool definitions fit model providers (token cost, schema compatibility, confusable names) as scored by the ToolFit engine at the time of the listing. JSON: append .json.
