Validate and summarize a booking without creating it.
AI agents call golfbox_prepare_booking to retrieve information from GolfBox MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs pre-flight validation and returns a summary of a proposed booking, but does not persist any changes. It is a read-only operation that queries and validates data without modification, creation, or deletion. No external systems are triggered and no state changes occur. The conservative safety defaults mentioned in the server description further support this being a safe, informational tool.
From the tool's definition Tool description: 'Validate and summarize a booking without creating it.' The verb 'validate and summarize' indicates data retrieval and inspection only. The explicit phrase 'without creating it' confirms no side effects occur.
