Perplexity

Type-safe search for rental cars

Every response from `search_cars` is validated against Pydantic models at runtime. If the API returns malformed data, your agent catches the issue immediately. Your agent uses these validated results to compare pricing across different suppliers. It ensures that every parameter, from dates to location codes, matches the required schema.

Execute bookings with validated inputs

The `book_car` tool requires precise input fields. Pydantic AI enforces these constraints, preventing the agent from sending incomplete or incorrect booking requests. Once the itinerary is confirmed, the agent stores the itinerary ID in a strictly typed format. This ensures that `get_itinerary` calls always use the correct identifier.

Manage reservation lifecycle

Your agent uses `cancel_itinerary` to process cancellations. The validation layer ensures that only authorized IDs are passed to the server, reducing the risk of errors. When you need info on a car, `get_car_details` returns typed data. Your agent parses this to present clear, accurate information to the user.
