hotel-shortlist

hotel-shortlist is a command for Claude Code, Cursor from HasData/booking-mcp. It costs 13 tokens per session (332 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that finds and compares Booking.com hotels for a destination, stay dates, budget, and group of guests. It creates a shortlist and can inspect two chosen properties in more detail.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to shortlist five hotels, compare their costs and scores, and review the room and booking details of two finalists.
Why use it?
It avoids comparing hotels on price alone when location, extra charges, ratings, and cancellation terms also affect the choice. It requires the full stay details that Booking.com uses to calculate prices.

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

hotel-shortlist scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 23d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Build a hotel shortlist.

Ask me for the destination, the dates and the party if I have not given them. Booking needs all of it: check-in, check-out, rooms, adults, and children with their ages.

Then:

  1. Call hasdata_booking_search_getBookingSearchResults with those values, plus price_max_ if I gave a budget. Set currency when I gave the budget in one, because the band is read in that currency.
  2. Report how many properties came back. Nothing available means the dates are full, not that the destination is wrong.
  3. Shortlist five: name, pricePerStayParsed, the excludedChargesParsed beside it when the result carries the pair, the star rating out of 5, the guest score reviews.score out of 10 with reviews.count, and the distance to the centre if the payload carries it. Label the two scores so nobody reads a 3 and a 9.4 as the same measure.
  4. Sort by value rather than raw price, and say what you traded. The cheapest room in the wrong district is not the cheapest stay.
  5. Open hasdata_booking_place_getBookingPlaceDetails for the two I pick, passing the same dates and party alongside the URL, because that tool requires them too. Report the room types, the cancellation terms and what recent reviewers mention.

Every number belongs to the dates I asked about. Repeat them next to the prices so nobody quotes a total for the wrong weekend.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
