Can my agent search for places within a specific drawn area (polygon)?

Yes. Use the 'search_within_polygon' tool. Provide a coordinate string representing the multi-point geometry. The agent will analyze the localized boundaries and restrict the POI lookup strictly inside that drawn area.

How do I retrieve the opening hours and ratings for a venue via chat?

Use the 'get_place_details' tool. Provide the Foursquare ID (fsq_id). The agent will fetch the full payload including operating hours, average ratings, and price levels natively from the places graph.

Can I see photos and user tips for a specific store through the agent?

Absolutely. Use the 'get_place_photos' and 'get_place_tips' tools. Your agent will pull dynamic image URLs and capture raw text sentiments left by other visitors to help you evaluate venue quality flawlessly.

What you can do

Place Discovery Orchestration — Identify bounded routing spaces inside the headless Foursquare POI graph and extract explicitly attached REST arrays targeting specific search queries near any GPS pin
Rich Metadata Inspection — Perform structural extraction of properties driving active node schemas, retrieving mega-document payloads including hours, ratings, and precise mapping arrays natively
Visual & Social Auditing — Retrieve explicit cloud logging tracing media URL limits to compile dynamic image URLs and capture raw text sentiments left by humans to track venue quality
Geospatial Intelligence — Execute immediate queries within custom drawn multi-point geometries or specific radius boundaries to find what exists physically adjacent to any target
Precise Venue Matching — Dispatch automated validation checks routing explicit duplication logic to force Foursquare to confidently return exactly one node for ambiguous strings
Intelligent Autocomplete — Provision highly-available JSON payloads generating fast typeaheads by querying partial letters to predict user intent natively
Taxonomy Oversight — Enumerate explicitly attached structured rules exporting the entire official Foursquare classification tree to resolve internal type codes flawlessly
