Perplexity

Type-safe rental data retrieval

Every response from `search_rentals` is validated against your Pydantic models. If the API returns malformed data, the agent stops immediately instead of propagating errors. This approach forces strict adherence to the expected schema. It is the safest way to handle dynamic inventory data in a production environment.

Validate amenities and property details

Use `get_unit_amenities` to ensure the property meets your hard requirements. The agent will fail if the structure doesn't match your defined `Amenity` model. Pair this with `get_rental_details` for a complete picture. Your agent only proceeds when it confirms the data is valid and complete.

Secure booking execution

The `book_rental` tool integrates with your validated agent flow. You define the required fields, and the framework ensures all parameters are present before execution. This prevents common runtime failures when handling complex booking objects. You get predictable, repeatable results every time you run the agent.
