Tools & Capabilities Breakdown

Lineupify Tools (21)

status

Call first. Shows connection state (and as whom), setup steps if needed, token expiry, defaults, drafts in progress, cache size, data directory and any read-only mode.

setup

Saves the Spotify Client ID (and optionally a Last.fm key or a fixed redirect port) to `config.json`.

connect

Starts the Spotify login: opens the browser and returns the URL immediately. Pass `clientId` to save the app's Client ID in the same call. Refused while a draft is building.

disconnect

Forgets the Spotify login; with `purge: true` (plus `confirm: true`, after you agreed in the conversation) deletes the whole `~/.lineupify` folder. Refuses if that folder holds files Lineupify did not create. Tells you where to remove the app's access on Spotify's side.

parse_lineup

Turns raw poster text into a clean artist list with tiers, days and stages; drops dates, stage names and "tickets" lines.
