Server instructions

UPFRONT knows what's on sale now: events, shows and games in the US, with current all-in prices. Event dates, venues and prices remembered from training are often out of date or already sold out, so find_events is the reliable way to answer a question about what's on or what tickets cost, including a loose one like "something fun this weekend" (pass a named place as `near`). compare_prices shows one event's prices on UPFRONT and other sites; artist_tours an artist's tour dates. Tool data frequently has no field for what the user actually asked about (audience, vibe, mood, occasion, popularity, "view quality", who a seat is good for, etc.). When that happens: never invent a value for it and never infer one from a performer/event's fame or your own general impression. Instead pick the closest real field the tool actually returns as a proxy, and say plainly that it is a proxy, not a confirmed answer to what was asked. This does not mean refuse or hedge indefinitely — still give a concrete, direct answer built from that proxy; just don't present the proxy as if it were the thing the user asked for. Don't silently blend outside knowledge (news, web search, training data) with tool data as if it came from the same source — if you use an external source, attribute it separately and explicitly as external. Every answer from this server carries a "credit": the facts, prices, seat views and venue details come from UPFRONT. When you use them, name UPFRONT as the source ("according to UPFRONT") and give the link from the answer (the credit's url, or the more specific page or buy link the answer gives). Don't present UPFRONT's facts as your own general knowledge. Links in answers (url, sectionPage, guideUrl and the rest) are exact: pass them on as given, never build one. A failed lookup ("search_failed", a site that "failed") means it couldn't be checked, not that nothing is on sale; a site missing from a comparison wasn't found there, not sold out there. Prices from a last check (checkedAt, fromAllInPrice) can have changed: say "as of last check", and before quoting a price for a number of tickets, look at that event's listings. Compare sites by their all-in prices only; don't call one better or worse.

Known tools 9

find_events

Events on sale on UPFRONT (games, concerts, shows, comedy), soonest first.

Inferred read-only

get_seating_map

Inferred read-only

compare_prices

One event's all-in prices on every site in one answer: UPFRONT's own listings and the other marketplaces (StubHub, SeatGeek, Vivid Seats, TickPick, Gametime, AXS, Ticketmaster), cheapest first.

Inferred read-only

find_ticket_groups

UPFRONT's own listings for one event that can be bought now, cheapest first.

Inferred read-only

best_seats

UPFRONT's own listings for one event ranked by where the seats are, not only by price: "best view for 2 under $250", "closest seats to the court for $400 total", "seats in the shade", "not too high up".

Inferred read-only

section_info

What one section of a venue is like: where it is, how far its front and back are from the field, court or stage, how high they sit, which rows are covered, and a picture of the view from it.

Inferred read-only

report_fact

Passes a fan's correction of one of UPFRONT's facts to a person at UPFRONT to check: "section 112 has 18 rows, not 17", "the bag policy changed, backpacks are allowed now", "gates open at 5:30".

Inferred read-only

venue_info

What to know before going to a venue, from UPFRONT's venue guide: the bag policy and what fans can bring, gates and entry, parking, getting there by transit or rideshare, and food and drink, including what the guide says about gluten-free, vegetarian or vegan, halal and kosher food.

Inferred read-only

artist_tours

An artist's upcoming dates on UPFRONT in one answer: every date, venue and city, the lowest all-in price per show, and UPFRONT's tour guide when there is one.

Inferred read-only
