Can I book a table at a specific restaurant for tonight?

Yes! Use the `check_availability` tool to verify open time slots, then `create_reservation` to book directly. You can specify the date, time, party size, and any special requests.

What information do I get when searching for restaurants?

Search results include restaurant names, ratings, cuisine types, locations, and real-time availability. You can then drill into any listing for full menus, reviews, and booking options.

Can I cancel a reservation through the AI agent?

Yes. The `cancel_reservation` tool lets you cancel any existing booking by providing the reservation ID. Note that cancellation policies vary by restaurant.
