Assessment: Tock takes reservations and experience bookings for restaurants and wineries and now feeds its venues into Resy. There is no public API or MCP server an outside agent can call today. api.exploretock.com publishes reservation data models without endpoints, and the Terms of Use forbid automated access to the site.

## Before you call it

1. Don't plan to call Tock from another agent. Hand the booking to the person on exploretock.com or in the Resy app
2. Do not script the Tock website, which the Terms of Use forbid. A venue wanting data should ask Tock through its dashboard account
