Capabilities

Tools 10

ask_company

Ask the company a free-text question (requirements, deposit, insurance, documents, opening hours, pickup instructions…). Bota answers in the customer's language with the company's approved information. Read-only: it never starts, changes or completes a booking.

Discovered
cancel_booking

Cancels a booking made through Bota. Without confirm it only returns the booking and whether it can be cancelled; with confirm=true it cancels it. Cancellation fees, if any, follow the company's terms.

Discovered
confirm_booking

Confirms the summarised booking with its confirmation_token, which proves the customer saw that exact summary. Creates the reservation in the company's reservation system and returns the confirmation code (and a payment link when the company requires prepayment). An on-request booking comes back pending the company's confirmation and without a code yet.

Discovered
get_booking_status

Look up a booking made through Bota: status (confirmed, cancelled…), vehicle, office, dates and total. Needs the booking reference and the email it was made with.

Discovered
list_offices

Rental offices (pickup/return locations) of a company: name, city, address, opening hours, timezone, coordinates.

Discovered
list_rental_companies

Car rental companies that use Bota and rent directly through it. Returns id, name, website, active channels, whether bookings can be completed here (booking_via_agents) and whether it is the demo company.

Discovered
provide_customer_details

Submits the driver's details for the booking in progress and returns the booking summary with its confirmation_token. terms_accepted records that the customer accepted the company's terms and must be true.

Discovered
search_availability

Search available vehicles with real prices for a company, office and dates. Prices are identical to the company's own web chat (mandatory charges, one-way and time rules included). Returns numbered offers and the session_id of this booking session.

Discovered
select_extras

Adds optional extras (child seat, additional driver, coverage…) to the booking in progress by extra id; an empty list continues without extras. Only for companies with booking_via_agents=true.

Discovered
select_offer

Selects one of the numbered offers of the booking session. Returns the extras available for it, or the driver details the company needs. Only for companies with booking_via_agents=true.
