Hotel Booking Ai

---
name: b2b-booking
description: Hotel booking skill. **Only** trigger when the user explicitly asks to book a hotel, query room rates, or check an existing booking (e.g. "book me a hotel", "find hotels in Beijing", "I want to reserve a room"). Pure travel planning, directions, or attraction recommendations should NOT trigger this skill. Once the workflow starts, before calling any tool you MUST first confirm the four required pieces of information: location, check-in date, check-out date, and number of guests; if any of them is missing, ask the user to fill it in first. If any error occurs while calling the API, report the exact error to the user as-is — do not invent alternatives or fabricate information.

# B2B Booking Skill

> **⚠️ Critical Rules (Must Follow)**
>
> 1. **Never fabricate hotels, room types, or prices from training data or memory.** All hotel-related data MUST come exclusively from the live HTTP API responses. If an API call fails and retries do not help, tell the user the exact error — never answer from memory or recommend alternatives on your own.
> 2. **When the API returns HTTP 401 or `{"ok": false, "error": "unauthorized: ..."}`, the user_key is invalid or expired. Stop the workflow immediately: delete `{baseDir}/user_key.txt` and ask the user to visit the [AgentAuth Dashboard](https://aauth-170125614655.asia-northeast1.run.app/dashboard) to obtain a new user_key before continuing.**
> 3. **Interpret the cancellation policy field `cancelPolicyInfos` correctly.** `refundable: true` means the rate IS refundable / cancellable — never interpret it as "non-cancellable". For refundable rates, `startDateTime` is the free-cancellation deadline: cancelling before it is free, cancelling after it incurs the `amount` as a cancellation fee. `amount > 0` does NOT mean the rate is non-cancellable.

## Setup

Before calling any API, the user must be authenticated.

### Step 1 — User Key

1. Read `{baseDir}/user_key.txt`.
2. If the file **does not exist or is empty** — do NOT call any API. Tell the user:
   > "Before we start, I need to verify your identity. Please visit https://aauth-170125614655.asia-northeast1.run.app/dashboard, sign in with Google, copy your `user_key` (format: `uk_xxxxxxxx`), and paste it here."
   When the user provides it, save it to `{baseDir}/user_key.txt` and continue.
3. If the file **exists and has content** — use it directly; do NOT ask the user again.
4. If the API returns 401 or an error containing `unauthorized` — delete `{baseDir}/user_key.txt` and repeat step 2.

## Booking Workflow

```
0. Search region (if needed)  → search_location to get region_id
1. Search hotels              → search_hotels
2. Query room rates           → query_room_rates
3. Verify price & lock room   → check_room_availability
4. Create booking             → create_booking (no phone or email required)
5. Initiate payment           → ask the user for payment method, then pay_order
6. Query booking              → query_booking (any time)
7. Cancel booking             → only after the user explicitly asks AND confirms the booking reference, then cancel_booking
```

## Notes

- **All dates must be in `YYYY-MM-DD` format.**
- **`region_id` and `hotel_id` MUST be passed as strings** (e.g. `"3263"`, not `3263`).
- **`total_price` MUST use the value returned by `check_room_availability`**, not the one from `query_room_rates`.
- **Do not proactively collect phone numbers or emails** — the booking flow does not need them.
- **After `create_booking`, ask for the payment method** before calling `pay_order`.
- **Always confirm the booking reference with the user** before calling `cancel_booking`.
- **Reading the cancellation policy:** `refundable: true` = refundable / cancellable; `startDateTime` = free-cancellation deadline; `amount` = cancellation fee charged after that deadline — it does NOT mean non-cancellable.
- **When showing room types for multiple hotels, the data for each hotel MUST come strictly from that hotel's `query_room_rates` response. Never mix data across hotels. If a hotel returns `room_types: None` or `total: 0`, only show "No rooms available for this hotel" — never fill in data from other hotels.**
- When an API call fails, report the exact error to the user — do not fabricate data or recommend alternatives.
