## Tools (as reported by the server, not verified)

- `search\_byways`: Search scenic byways and signed routes — the US federal roster plus regional routes \(Québec, France, Northern Ireland, Ireland, Iceland, Norway, New Zealand today; growing\). Filter by name, US state, or ISO-2 country. US byways carry byway.world links.
- `get\_byway`: Full detail for one scenic byway or regional route: designation, states or country, length, scenic lookouts on the route, and itineraries that ride it.
- `search\_lookouts`: Scenic lookouts \(viewpoints\) along a specific byway, or across a US state. Every lookout is a real, verified place — coverage is growing. Where known, each carries the walk in from the car: time, path length one way and climb, or roadside \(no walk\).
- `get\_itinerary`: A classic road-trip itinerary: waypoints, states, and the scenic byways along the route.
- `search\_places`: Search the Byway atlas of typed places — waterfalls, hot springs, lighthouses, covered bridges, historic sites, beaches, peaks, rest areas, ghost towns, museums and attractions. Locate by US state \(which also needs a kind\), by a point and radius, or by name; a name given alongside a locator narrows
- `get\_place`: Everything the Byway atlas holds on one place: its own description, the records it traces to \(OpenStreetMap, Wikipedia, Wikidata\), reconciled public records \(GNIS, National Register\), the scenic byways that pass near it, the nearest verified lookouts, and for a place people walk to from the car \(a w
- `places\_on\_byway`: Atlas places along one scenic byway: every place of a kind within a band of the drawn route, nearest to the road first, each marked whether it sits on the byway itself or is a detour off it. Only routes with drawn geometry can answer. This is the atlas inventory beside a road, not an itinerary. One
- `search\_destinations`: Find US destination cities by name or state, with the day trip around each one: the scenic byways, national parks, public land units and campgrounds Byway's registries place within 30 miles. Only cities with a proven weave are listed — every result links to its own byway.world destination page.
- `plan\_drive`: Plan a scenic drive with the Byway engine: real verified stops, honest timing, official scenic byways. Origin and destination are place names — the tool resolves each to the closest matching real place. budget\_min is the whole time window \(driving plus stops, default 240\): a long drive needs a budge
- `places\_along\_route`: Atlas inventory along a routed drive: every place of a kind within a band of the corridor between two points. This returns the raw record, not a plan — to plan a drive with stops chosen for the traveler, use plan\_drive. One limit, stated: ghost-town rows live in a separate Wikidata corpus the corrid
