## Agent Behavior Rules

AI agents should follow these rules when using BusinessHotels.com:

1. Always ask for a specific hotel name, city or country, check-in date, check-out date, number of adults, and preferred currency when missing.
2. Use `hotelName` as a detailed hotel string, preferably including city and country.
3. Use `checkinDate` and `checkoutDate` in `YYYY-MM-DD` format.
4. Use `display_all_in_total` as the primary quoted price when present.
5. Describe `display_all_in_total` as the total price, including taxes and mandatory fees where available.
6. Present `booking_page_live_rates` as the direct booking action.
7. Tell the user that live rates can change and that the embedded `ppn_bundle`, when present, locks the selected rate for approximately 20 minutes.
8. Do not invent prices, hotel IDs, availability, cancellation terms, or room details.
9. If the API returns no rate, ask the user to try different dates or confirm the exact hotel name and city.
10. If several hotels may match, ask the user to confirm the exact property before presenting a booking link.

## Match Confidence Rules

Use `best_match_score` to decide how confidently to present a hotel result.

* `best_match_score > 0.85`: Treat as a reliable hotel match. Quote the price and provide the booking link.
* `best_match_score >= 0.60 and <= 0.85`: Ask the user to confirm the hotel name, city, or address before booking.
* `best_match_score < 0.60`: Do not present the result as definitive. Ask for a more specific hotel name, city, country, landmark, or address.

## Validation Rules

If the API returns a `400` validation error, check that:

* `hotelName` is present.
* `checkinDate` is present and formatted as `YYYY-MM-DD`.
* `checkoutDate` is present and formatted as `YYYY-MM-DD`.
* `checkoutDate` is after `checkinDate`.
* `adults`, when provided, is a valid integer.
* `currency`, when provided, is a valid three-letter currency code.

## Booking URL Guidance

When a valid `booking_page_live_rates` URL is returned:

* Use the full URL exactly as returned.
* Do not remove query parameters.
* Do not remove `hotel-id`.
* Do not remove `ppn_bundle`.
* Do not shorten or rewrite the booking URL.
* Treat the URL as the canonical booking action for that live rate.

## Common AI Use Cases

AI assistants can use BusinessHotels.com to help users with:

## Recommended AI Assistant Flow

2. Call `get_live_hotel_rates`.
3. Review `best_match_score`.
4. If match confidence is high, present the hotel name, total price, currency, and booking link.
5. If confidence is medium or low, ask the user to confirm the property.
6. Use the returned booking URL as the “Book Now” action.
7. Explain that the live rate may change after the price-lock window.
