cancel_ride
Cancel a pending or active Uber ride request
LABSCO SUMMARY
request_ride stops at a confirmation prompt instead of booking, which is the guardrail standing between an agent and a real car.
The description is explicit that request_ride returns a confirmation prompt and does not automatically confirm the ride, so committing is a separate deliberate act rather than a side effect. Around that, the route lives as server-side state rather than as call arguments: set_pickup and set_destination establish it, get_fare_estimate refuses without it, and status is where you read back what the server currently believes. The headless flag decides whether any of this works unattended — login says a phone-based account may require an OTP, and headless=false is the route to completing that by hand.
What it is
An Uber client driven by browser automation, with 11 tools covering session status and login, pickup and destination, fare and ride-type estimates, ride requests, live status, cancellation and history.
What you get
- Session handling with the awkward case named: status reports authentication together with the current pickup and destination if set, login authenticates with an email or phone and password and notes that a phone-based account may require an OTP — for which headless=false lets a person complete the verification — and logout clears the session and stored cookies.
- The route held as state: set_pickup and set_destination take addresses, and status reflects what the server currently thinks the trip is.
- Pricing before committing: get_fare_estimate returns estimates for the available ride types and requires pickup and destination to be set first, and get_ride_options returns the ride types with pricing and ETAs for the current route.
- Requesting with a stop in the middle: request_ride returns a confirmation prompt and does not automatically confirm the ride, and requires login with pickup and destination already set.
- After the request: get_ride_status returns the current or most recent ride, cancel_ride cancels a pending or active request behind a confirm argument, and get_ride_history returns recent rides.
Requirements
An Uber account the server logs into: login takes the email or phone with the password, and a phone-based account may need an OTP completed by hand with headless=false. No credentials are configured on the server itself.

USE CASES
01
Pricing a trip before deciding how to travel
Set the two ends of the route, then read the fare estimates and the ride types with their ETAs.
02
Requesting a ride with a check before it books
Confirm the session and the route the server currently holds, request the ride and read the confirmation prompt it returns, then watch the status.
03
Calling off a ride you no longer need
Check what is currently active, then cancel it behind the confirm argument.
04
Getting signed in on an account that uses phone verification
Run the login with the browser visible so the one-time code can be entered by hand, confirm the session took, and clear it when switching accounts.
05
Looking up a past trip
Pull recent ride history rather than opening the app to find a fare or a date.
