The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
ta_get_location_details ~160

Get a TripAdvisor location's core details (name, rating, review count, address, coordinates, phone, photo, listing URL) by location ID, read from the public page via the browser bridge.

ta_web_healthcheck Verify the fetchproxy bridge end-to-end ~118
Round-trips a small public www.tripadvisor.com URL (/) through the fetchproxy bridge and returns diagnostics: the bridge's role (host/peer/null), port, version, the extension link (linked / pair pending / not attached / never answered), the elapsed round-trip time, and a plain-English hint distinguishing 'bridge never came up' from 'extension not connected' from 'real www.tripadvisor.com-side problem'. Read-only, no auth required. Call this when a real tool fails and you want to know which hop broke.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
