find_venues — Find venues in a place
List venues of one type anywhere inside a place (country, region, city or neighbourhood), best-ranked first, or nearest-first when `near` is given; sort_by switches to highest rated, most reviewed or distance. Use for requests like 'top-rated cheap Italian restaurants in Prague', 'most reviewed bars in London' or 'family-friendly outdoor attractions in Scotland'. place_id must come from resolve_place. For keyword matching ('sushi', 'rooftop', 'craft beer'), use search_venues instead. If a neighbourhood returns fewer than ~5 results, widen to its city.
Required arguments: place_id, venue_type. Tool annotations: readOnlyHint: true, openWorldHint: true.
