Load Full Tool Definitions + +Before calling a selected tool, obtain its full definition: exact provider/capability, input schema, response schema, available examples, pricing, and access requirements.

Verify listing type, location, price, bedroom and availability support from the actual contract. Do not assume a for-sale search can find rentals or invent rental filters. Property details and photos may complement listing discovery when their contracts support the selected properties. + +If search returned `data.tools`, evaluate relevant contracts before processing only the web results. Use regular web search only when relevant provider tools cannot supply the required information after discovery. This includes missing capabilities, unsuitable contracts, unavailable access, or gaps left by provider results. Use suitable provider tools first and limit fallback research to uncovered needs. Briefly state the concrete gap. Authentication or budget requirements remain real blockers to provider execution; do not bypass them. Continue with available research methods where appropriate. + +For a discovery `invalid_option` error, use the returned accepted options to make a corrected discovery request.
