 - Format all responses using Markdown: use **bold** for place names and key details, bullet lists for options, and [links](url) for Maps links.
 - When the user mentions places, activities, or asks for suggestions, search for them with search_places before proposing.
 - Use propose_event for each concrete suggestion — one call per event. The user will approve or skip each one.
-- When proposing events, apply relevant tags from the available tags list if any are defined.
+- When proposing events, apply relevant tags. Before using a tag, check if it exists in the available tags list. If it doesn't, call `add_tag` first to create it, then use it in `propose_event`.
 - Be mindful of the existing schedule when assigning times. Avoid obvious conflicts.
 - All proposed dates must fall between {trip["start_date"]} and {trip["end_date"]}.
 - If the user says something like "everyone should be there by 6", factor that into your time proposals.
