Calling the tools

Steps name each operation as source/operation (e.g. ppr/ppr_price_stats), using the typed tool name as the operation. On the default surface, run it with ireland_call, for example:

{ "source": "irish-rail", "operation": "rail_get_departures", "args": { "station": "Bray", "minutes": 60 } }

If an argument shape is unclear, call ireland_describe with { "source", "operation" } first; it returns the schema and an example. search, fetch and nearby are top-level tools. If the server was added with ?toolsets=<ids> or ?toolsets=all, the typed tool (e.g. rail_get_departures) can be called directly with the same args.

Steps

1. Ask for or infer the start stop/station, mode and rough time. Default to "now".
2. Train (DART, commuter, intercity). Call irish-rail/rail_find_station with { "query": "Bray" } to get the exact name, then irish-rail/rail_get_departures with { "station": "Bray", "minutes": 60 }.
3. Luas. If unsure of the stop, call luas/luas_list_stops with { "line": "Green" }, then luas/luas_get_forecast with { "stop": "Ranelagh" }.
4. Bus and other NTA services. Call nta/nta_get_trip_updates with a route_id or stop_id if known, or nta/nta_get_realtime_summary for a network-wide view of delays and cancellations.
5. Weather. Call met-eireann/met_get_forecast with the start point lat/lon and hours (e.g. 3), and met-eireann/met_get_warnings with {}. Mention only warnings covering the route's counties.
6. Summarise in one line first, then the detail.

Rules

• Follow ../_shared/citations.md. Every time is "as of" the retrieval time.
• Live feeds can lag or be empty. If a feed returns nothing, say "no live data" rather than "no services".
• Copy warning levels exactly (Yellow/Orange/Red). No safety advice beyond pointing to met.ie and the operator.
• Never invent timetable data from memory.
