### Tool changes

- 2026-10-10 `num_license_photo` changed (description)
  - before: Buys one use of one photo from this account's prepaid photo wallet and returns the license and a download link to the file (metadata removed). max_price_cents is the most the operator agreed to pay; a higher current price is refused with the quote and nothing is charged. Re-sending the same idempotency_key returns the same license instead of buying again. Spending is capped per UTC day. While NUM's licensing is in its test run, purchases use test credit and no money moves; the response says test: true.
  - after: Buys one use of one photo from this account's prepaid photo wallet and returns the license and a download link to the file (metadata removed). max_price_cents is the most the operator agreed to pay; a higher current price is refused with the quote and nothing is charged. In a live drop the price rises after every license, so another buyer can move it first: within max_price_cents the purchase goes through at the new price, above it you get price_moved with the new quote and nothing is charged. Re-sending the same idempotency_key returns the same license instead of buying again. Spending is capped per UTC day. While NUM's licensing is in its test run, purchases use test credit and no money moves; the response says test: true.
- 2026-10-10 `num_search_photos` changed (description)
  - before: Search photos of real places taken by NUM travelers and offered for licensing per use. Each result has a photo_id, a preview URL, the place (name, city, area, category), the month it was taken, the photographer's public name and the price in US cents for each use: social (one post), web (one page), ad (one campaign) and ai_training (one dataset). A price of null means that use is not offered. Every photo shows a place with no recognisable person and was checked by a person; results never include coordinates or exact dates. use=ai_training returns only photos whose photographer allows AI training. Each call counts against the daily read quota.
  - after: Search photos of real places taken by NUM travelers and offered for licensing per use. Each result has a photo_id, a preview URL, the place (name, city, area, category), the month it was taken, the photographer's public name and the price in US cents for each use: social (one post), web (one page), ad (one campaign) and ai_training (one dataset). A price of null means that use cannot be bought right now. Business uses sell in live drops: a limited number of licenses over 3 days, the price rising 10% after each one; drop shows licenses left, the end time and the next price. Every photo shows a place with no recognisable person and was checked by a person; results never include coordinates or exact dates. use=ai_training returns only photos whose photographer allows AI training. Each call counts against the daily read quota.
- 2026-10-04 `num_photo_wallet` added
  - This account's photo wallet balance (US cents, plus test credit), what it spent today against the daily cap, and the licenses it holds. Free and unmetered. Adding credit is POST /api/agent/photos/topup, which returns a checkout link a person pays.
- 2026-10-04 `num_license_photo` added
  - Buys one use of one photo from this account's prepaid photo wallet and returns the license and a download link to the file (metadata removed). max_price_cents is the most the operator agreed to pay; a higher current price is refused with the quote and nothing is charged. Re-sending the same idempotency_key returns the same license instead of buying again. Spending is capped per UTC day.

- 2026-10-04 `num_quote_photo` added
  - The current price in US cents and the full license terms for one use of one photo. Nothing is charged. Counts against the daily read quota.
- 2026-10-04 `num_search_photos` added

Each result has a photo_id, a preview URL, the place (name, city, area, category), the month it was taken, the photographer's public name and the price in US cents for each use: social (one post), web (one page), ad (one campaign) and ai_training (one dataset).

- 2026-09-26 `num_get_place` changed (title, description, inputSchema) **meaning changed**
  - before: Full record for one place, by the place_id that num_search_places returned. Each call counts against the daily read quota.
  - after: Full record for one place, by the place_id that num_search_places returned, including HOW TO BOOK IT on the venue's own terms. `booking.method` is one of: request (the venue takes requests through NUM and confirms each one itself), venue_system (send the traveller to booking.url, prefilled when you pass party_size, date and time), phone (the number is for the traveller to call), not_through_num, closed, unknown. Follow booking.guidance exactly. If open_status.closed is true, NUM holds evidence the place has gone: do not send anyone there. accolades carry their source; menu is the owner's own list and prices. Each call counts against the daily read quota.
- 2026-09-26 `num_list_destinations` added
  - Every destination NUM covers, with its country. Use a destination's name or slug as num_search_places city. Free, unmetered, and needs no key.
- 2026-09-26 `num_search_places` changed (description, inputSchema)
  - before: Search NUM's travel directory: more than 2.5 million places — restaurants, bars, hotels, spas, tours and shops, deepest in Thailand and the UK. Requires at least one of q, city, country or category. Returns name, category, address, phone, website, coordinates and whether the owner has claimed the listing. Each call counts against the daily read quota.
  - after: Search NUM's travel directory: more than 2.5 million places — restaurants, bars, hotels, spas, tours and shops, deepest in Thailand and the UK. Say where to look: city (one of NUM's destinations — see num_list_destinations) or country; then narrow with q, area and category. Places NUM knows have closed are never returned. Returns name, category, address, phone, website, coordinates and whether the owner has claimed the listing; call num_get_place for how to book one. Each call counts against the daily read quota.

- `num_submit_business`: Submit a business to NUM for review. Free and unmetered. A person at 5arz reviews every submission before any traveller sees it, so the result is status 'pending_review', never an immediate listing. 'relationship' records whether the submitter owns the business, was engaged by the owner, or is a third party; reviewers verify it. Contact details must be ones the business has published — submissions with guessed or derived contact details are rejected. Re-sending the same external_ref updates the pending submission instead of creating a duplicate.
- `num_submit_promo`: Attach a promotion, special, event or ad to a business previously submitted by the same account. Free and unmetered. A person reviews it before it is shown to anyone. Re-sending the same promo_ref updates the pending promotion instead of creating a duplicate.
