FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI book the hotel for me?

    No. The AI can find and provide details for hotels, but you must handle the actual booking yourself.

  • 02

    Can I search by specific price ranges?

    No. The current tools allow for searching by city, coordinates, and quality ratings, but not by price.

  • 03

    Does the AI see my credit card info?

    No. The AI only interacts with the hotel data through the MCP. It never touches your payment information.

  • 04

    Can the AI change my hotel reservation?

    No. The tools are for searching and retrieving information, not for modifying existing bookings.

  • 05

    How accurate are the ratings?

    The AI pulls the ratings directly from the hotel data provided by the connector.
