## Tools (4)

- `artistally_get_convention`: Full profile of one convention by slug: dates, venue and address, website, artist-alley and vendor registration windows/costs/URLs, every published price tier (artist spaces, dealer booths, badges; this edition and past ones) with its source, portfolio and table-share policy, hotel block, transit access, organizer verification, and up to 6 years of attendance/pricing history.

- `artistally_get_coverage`: The regions, states/provinces, and metro areas ArtistAlly tracks, with approved-convention counts. Use it to learn valid region/state/metro filter values for the other tools. Takes no arguments.
- `artistally_list_open_registrations`: Artist-alley and vendor/dealer registration windows that are open right now or opening soon, sorted by urgency (soonest close date first). The go-to tool for questions like "which cons can I still apply to?" or "what artist alleys open this month?".
- `artistally_search_conventions`: Search fan conventions (furry, anime, gaming) across 51 US and Canadian metro areas. Returns upcoming conventions by default (soonest first); set include_past to search the archive too. Filter by text, community, region, state, metro, or date range. Returns dates, venue, location, registration windows and table costs, plus a canonical ArtistAlly URL per convention.
