How It Works

For Agents

Your agent can use these capabilities:

// Search for restaurants
restaurants = search_restaurants({
  location: "San Francisco, CA",
  cuisine: "Italian",
  price_range: "$$",
  date: "2026-04-15",
  party_size: 4,
  time: "19:00"
})

// Get detailed restaurant info
details = get_restaurant_details({
  restaurant_id: "ristorante-milano-sf"
})

// Check availability
availability = check_availability({
  restaurant_id: "ristorante-milano-sf",
  party_size: 4,
  date: "2026-04-15",
  time: "19:00"
})

// Make a reservation
booking = make_reservation({
  restaurant_id: "ristorante-milano-sf",
  party_size: 4,
  date: "2026-04-15",
  time: "19:00",
  special_requests: "Window seat if possible"
})

// View your reservations
reservations = get_my_reservations()

Session Management

  • Each user has encrypted, persistent credentials
  • Automatic OAuth token refresh
  • MFA handling (SMS/email)
  • Sessions survive agent restarts

Reliability

  • 85%+ task completion rate
  • Automated UI change detection (connectors update when OpenTable changes)
  • Fallback paths for failures
  • 24/7 monitoring + alerting

Architecture

How We Connect

This connector uses browser automation (Playwright) to interact with OpenTable, because OpenTable doesn't have a comprehensive public API for reservations. Here's why that's safe and reliable:

  • User-controlled: Your agent only accesses your own OpenTable account
  • Session-based: We store your login session securely, not your password
  • Change-aware: We detect OpenTable UI changes and alert immediately
  • Fingerprinting: We use realistic browser profiles to avoid bot detection
  • Rate-limited: We respect OpenTable's infrastructure with appropriate delays

Security

  • Credentials stored encrypted in your local .env or secure vault
  • Sessions isolated per user
  • No data sent to third parties
  • MIT Licensed — audit the code yourself
