Kleinanzeigen

Return the category/attribute reference line for a given category hint.

Use this BEFORE search_ads whenever you plan to set category or attributes. Input can be a broad category in English or German (cars, phones, apartments, jobs, etc.). The response includes the exact CategoryName and allowed attribute values to use.

Search Kleinanzeigen listings in Germany.

HARD RULE: NEVER call search_ads without calling get_category_reference first, unless you explicitly set allowGeneric=true.

HARD RULE: Call MCP tools directly (get_category_reference, search_ads). Do NOT call api_tool or any /KA/link wrapper paths.

IMPORTANT RULES: 1. You may use up to TWO tool calls per user request:

• First call get_category_reference if you need category/attributes.
• Then call search_ads once with the resolved category/attributes.
• Do not call search_ads more than once for the same user request.

2. MULTILINGUAL SEARCH

• CRITICAL: Kleinanzeigen has both German and English listings.
• For generic nouns (apartment, couch, musician, bicycle, etc.), ALWAYS use queries array with BOTH German AND English terms.
• This performs OR search - finds listings in either language.
• WRONG: {"query":"Musiker musician"} <- AND search, returns 0 results
• RIGHT: {"queries":["Musiker","musician"]} <- OR search, finds all
• Keep brand names as-is: "iPhone 14 Pro", "PlayStation 5", "BMW" (same in all languages)

2b. USER ALTERNATIVES (or/oder)

• CRITICAL: When user mentions alternatives like "256 or 512 GB", "rot oder blau", "3 or 4 rooms":
• If the user uses "or" / "oder" between alternatives, use queries to represent each alternative as a separate OR search.
• If the user uses "and" / "und", keep the terms together (AND) in query and/or attributes (do NOT split into queries).
• WRONG: {"query":"iPhone 15 256GB 512GB"} <- AND search, finds nothing
• RIGHT: {"queries":["iPhone 15 256GB","iPhone 15 512GB"]} <- OR search, finds both variants
• Works WITH attributes: {"queries":["iPhone 15 256GB","iPhone 15 512GB"],"category":"phones","attributes":{"art":"apple"}}
• If you use queries, omit query (each entry must be self-contained).
• If user mixes OR + AND (e.g., "256 or 512 AND white"), duplicate the shared AND terms into each queries[] entry.

3. Search EXACTLY what the user asked for - do not expand or modify criteria.

• If user says "3 rooms", search for exactly 3 rooms, not 3-6 rooms.
• If user says "under 10000 euros", use maxPrice=10000, not 15000.
• If user says "less than 50000 km", use km=[;50000], not a higher value.

4. Prefer structured attributes for filters WHEN possible, but do not invent values.

• Use ONLY valid values from get_category_reference (do not invent values).
• Translate user-friendly filter terms to the valid enum values (e.g., "automatic" -> "automatik").
• If the user mentions a product name that implies a brand/model, map it to the listed value

(e.g., "iPhone" -> art=apple in Handy_Telekom).

• If the user mentions a value that is not listed/recognized (e.g., trim/variant like "Shelby", "GTI", "AMG"),

DO NOT pass it as an attribute value (it will be ignored). Put it into query (or into each queries[] entry) instead.

• When using attributes, you may use query OR queries. Use queries for OR variants (multilingual synonyms or "X or Y");

if you use queries, omit query and make each entry self-contained. 5. For vehicle brands/models (cars AND motorcycles), use attributes marke/modell ONLY when you can map to valid values.

• modell must be a single valid model code (e.g., mustang, mustang_mach_e), not a free-form phrase.
• Example: "Mustang Shelby" -> {"category":"cars","query":"shelby","attributes":{"marke":"ford","modell":"mustang"}}

6. For apartments, ALWAYS use zimmer/wohnflaeche attributes for rooms/size filters. 7. Category selection:

• Only set category when the user explicitly mentions the domain/category (cars, motorcycles, apartments, phones, furniture, etc.) OR when required to apply attributes.
• For specific named products/brands/models, call get_category_reference and set the broad category if it exists.
• NEVER guess narrow subcategories (e.g. "konsolen", "wohnzimmer"). If you set category, use broad categories only.
• If unsure, omit category rather than guessing.
• Safe broad categories: cars, motorcycles, apartments, houses, electronics, phones, computers, laptops, bikes, furniture, jobs, fashion, pets.

8. If you include attributes, you MUST also set category (attributes are category-specific and won't work without it). 9. BEFORE calling search_ads, call get_category_reference when you plan to use category/attributes. 10. When using category/attributes, include categoryRefId from get_category_reference in search_ads. 11. If get_category_reference returns no suitable category, you may call search_ads without category but MUST set allowGeneric=true. 12. Include userText (verbatim user request) in search_ads so the server can recover typos/synonyms.

HARD RULE (repeat): NEVER call search_ads without get_category_reference unless allowGeneric=true.

Examples:

• "musician jobs" -> {"queries":["Musiker","musician"],"category":"jobs"}
• "apartment in Berlin" -> {"queries":["Wohnung","apartment"],"location":"Berlin"}
• "used couch" -> {"queries":["Sofa","Couch","couch"]}
• "bicycle for kids" -> {"queries":["Kinderfahrrad","Fahrrad Kinder","kids bike"]}
• "electric cars in Berlin" -> {"category":"cars","location":"Berlin","attributes":{"fuel":"elektro"}}
• "BMW diesel" -> {"category":"cars","attributes":{"fuel":"diesel","marke":"bmw"}}
• "Ford Mustang Shelby" -> {"category":"cars","query":"shelby","attributes":{"marke":"ford","modell":"mustang"}}
• "3 room apartment 50-80 sqm" -> {"category":"apartments","attributes":{"zimmer":"3","wohnflaeche":"[50;80]"}}
• "PlayStation 5" -> {"query":"PlayStation 5"}
• "iPhone 14 Pro" -> {"query":"iPhone 14 Pro"}
• "cars under 10000" -> {"category":"cars","maxPrice":10000}
• "iPhone 15 with 256 or 512 GB" -> {"queries":["iPhone 15 256GB","iPhone 15 512GB"],"category":"phones"}
• "red or blue BMW" -> {"queries":["BMW rot","BMW blau"],"category":"cars"}
• "3 or 4 room apartment" -> {"queries":["3 Zimmer Wohnung","4 Zimmer Wohnung"],"category":"apartments"}
