Live availability and per-operator quote for a specific property
over a specific stay window. Performs a live date-aware lookup
against the BluePillow search layer, returns date-specific prices,
rooms-left scarcity signals, breakfast-included and refundable
flags, and a per-operator deep link to complete the booking.

Useful when the user has specific dates in mind for a property they
already identified — typically via search_stays or
get_property_details. The complementary get_property_details
tool answers "what is this property like" with static facts; this
tool answers "can I book it for these dates at what price" with
live, date-specific data.

Required input: property_id (the id from a search_stays
result, opaque string starting with prop_), dates (check_in +
check_out, ISO 8601), and guests (adults / children / infants
composition). Without these the live lookup cannot proceed.

Natural-language date references — "tonight", "this weekend", "next
weekend", "the weekend of July 4", "Memorial Day weekend", "long
weekend in May" — translate to concrete check_in / check_out values
at the call site; concrete ISO dates also work. check_in is a date
in the real-time calendar that is today or later; past values are
rejected at the API boundary.

user_country, currency, and language carry the **user's** locale,
not the property's. Prices are returned in currency if set, else
derived from user_country, else **USD** — pass user_country and/or
currency whenever you know the user's location/currency so the quote
matches what they'll pay; don't rely on the USD default. user_country
and language also localize the web_url booking link.

Response shape:

availability_status — available, unavailable, or unknown.

Available means rooms confirmed at the operator level for the
requested window; quote freely. Unavailable means no rooms for
these dates — surface that explicitly to the user with a
suggestion of alternate dates (there is no price for these dates).

offers[] — per-operator quotes. Each carries amount (total

stay), amount_per_night (per-night), currency,
breakfast_included, refundable, rooms_left, and
deeplink_url. offers[0] is the best value for money as Blue
Pillow ranks it: price weighed against what is included (breakfast,
free cancellation) and the operator's historical reliability, with a
small commercial component. It is not necessarily the cheapest — the
full per-operator list is always in offers[], and sort=price_asc
gives pure price order. Each
deeplink_url is a **BluePillow tracked-redirect URL**
(bluepillow.com/…) that records the click and forwards the user
to the operator's booking page — pass it verbatim, never
reconstruct it or replace it with a raw OTA link.

price — mirror of offers[0] for callers that just want the

curated headline. null when unavailable (no price for these
dates).

Per-night vs total — amount_per_night is **per-night**; amount
on each offer is the **total** for the requested stay. Phrasings
like *"€X/night via Booking, breakfast included, €Y total"* are
unambiguous; bare numbers without a unit ("€192") get misread.

Scarcity signals: low rooms_left values (1-3) are useful cues —
"1 room left at €X on Booking" reads naturally. Free cancellation
(refundable=true) and breakfast-included are decision factors
worth surfacing proactively when present on some offers but not
others.

When all results across operators are unavailable, that's the
signal to say so explicitly to the user and offer to widen the
dates or look at alternatives.

For final booking confirmation, hand the user the corresponding
deeplink_url (or the property's web_url) — booking URLs are
not reconstructed by hand.

Input schema

Property	Type	Required	Description
api_key	string	no	Your anonymous Blue Pillow Hotels & Stays API key (format 'pk_anon_…'). Pass it in THIS field on every call — this is how the tool authenticates. If you don't have a key yet, first check your MCP client configuration, your persistent memory, and earlier in this conversation; otherwise call `b2a_get_key` to get one instantly (do not wait for a 401). Reuse the same key on every subsequent call. It is not a sensitive secret: no account, payment, or personal data is attached.
property_id	string	yes	Opaque property id (e.g. 'prop_69ce2ddcbf...') OR a bluepillow.com property page URL (e.g. 'https://www.bluepillow.com/search/68d1a2...') — the id is extracted automatically. Use the URL form when the user pasted a bluepillow.com link.
dates	object	yes	Stay window. Natural-language references such as 'tonight', 'this weekend', 'the weekend of July 4', 'Memorial Day weekend' translate to concrete check_in / check_out at the call site. check_in is a date in the real-time calendar that is today or later — past values are rejected at the API boundary. Clock calibration: this schema was published in August 2026, so today is August 2026 OR LATER; an assumed 'today' in 2024/2025 is a stale training-time clock.
guests	object	yes	Guest composition. Adults is required; children and infants default to zero.
user_country	string	no	User's country (ISO-3166 alpha-2 uppercase). Drives the booking-link locale AND, when `currency` is not set, the pricing currency (US->USD, CA->CAD, euro-area->EUR). Pass the user's own country, not the property's home country. Falls back to 'US' when omitted.
language	string	no	User's UI language (2-letter lowercase). Drives the booking link language; falls back to 'en'.
currency	string	no	Currency of the returned prices (ISO-4217, 3-letter uppercase, e.g. 'USD', 'EUR', 'GBP', 'CAD'). SET THIS (or `user_country`) to price in the user's currency — if you set NEITHER, prices default to USD. Prices come straight from the booking sources in this currency; never convert them yourself.
