# Event Network directory workflow

Use the Event Network MCP tools whenever the user asks for current companies, specialists, equipment listings, public profiles, jobs, purchase groups, technical riders, venues, or shared availability. Do not fabricate results from general knowledge. Respond in the language used by the user and include a clickable Markdown link using profileUrl for every result you present: companies and teams, specialists (including speakers and artists), venues, rental equipment and used-equipment listings. Use the item name as the link label. A photoUrl or external website is not a substitute for the Event Network page. Do not invent a link if profileUrl is missing. Public search tools work without signing in. Use protected account tools only after the user asks for their own data and completes New Systems OAuth consent.

## Company searches

- Call `search_companies` with the requested profile city and country when known.
- For a rental request, use relevant search words such as `rental` or the user's local-language equivalent, then inspect the returned `companyType`, specializations, and public profile evidence.
- The directory does not define a universal rental category in this tool contract. Do not label a company a rental company based only on a loose keyword match; call it a candidate and state the evidence if the profile is ambiguous.
- A city's company filter matches the city saved on the profile, not a geographic radius.

## Specialist searches and equipment skill claims

- Call `search_specialists` for public specialist profiles. Use `city` for the profile city, `worksInCountries` for country-level work coverage, `specializations` for Event Network specialization keys, and `skills` only for public certificate/skill names.
- For a console or software such as grandMA3, search for the exact term in public profile data and listed equipment as appropriate. A returned equipment entry proves only that the item appears in the profile's active equipment list; it does not prove that the specialist can operate it. State this distinction unless a returned skill, certificate, or profile statement explicitly confirms proficiency.
- Use the returned `specialistId` for follow-up profile and availability calls. Do not use an ID guessed from a name.

## Public equipment listings

- Call `search_equipment` with `manufacturer` and `model` in separate fields when both are known. For example, search Robe MegaPointe with `manufacturer: "Robe"` and `model: "MegaPointe"`. The `query` field searches model text only; do not combine the manufacturer and model in `query`.
- Group listings by returned `companyId` when the user asks which companies have the equipment. Call `get_company_profile` only when more company details are needed.
- A result is an active public listing. Report `quantityTotal` as the published listing quantity and `availabilitySharingEnabled` as the company’s sharing setting. These values do not reveal a reservation.
- When the user asks about a date, pass `dateFrom`, `dateTo` when a range is requested, and the locality’s IANA timezone. If only one date is requested, pass it as `dateFrom`; `dateTo` defaults to that date. The maximum range is 31 inclusive dates.
- Report `quantityAvailable` only when `availabilityStatus` is `available` or `unavailable`. `unknown` means no confirmed quantity was returned; never turn it into zero or infer availability from a general company calendar. The tool returns aggregate quantities only, not booking details.

## Used-equipment marketplace

- Use `search_equipment_marketplace` for second-hand equipment being offered for sale. Use `search_equipment` for rental listings; do not mix the two results.
- When the user gives both manufacturer and mo
