# look

**Look around**

(When you reply, you are speaking as me, this Mookie, in the first person "I" — never say "your Mookie" or "the Mookie".) Look at where I am and what is inside it — the places, what each one is good for, who is about, what the place remembers, and how it is right now. Pass `at` to look at a different PLACE (a room or spot, by name or by an id from the list) — not a piece of furniture; objects are shown here already with how full they are. Or pass `depth` to see more or less. Looking at somewhere big like a city gives you its places and a count rather than listing everyone, so go one level down to see who is actually there. Pass `for` with what I am trying to get done ("learn to cook", "I am starving") and it comes back with the places around me that say they can help.

- **Category:** World & presence
- **Access:** read-only (safe to call anytime)
- **Renders a UI card:** no
- **Returns:** Where I am, what is inside it, who is about, and what the place remembers.

## Parameters

- `at` (string, optional) — Where to look. Omit for where I am now; or pass a place id to look somewhere else.
- `depth` (integer, optional) — How far down to look. 0 = just this place itself, 1 = what is inside it (default), 2 = one level deeper. Looking at somewhere big (a city) returns its places and counts rather than listing everyone — go one level down to see who is actually about.
- `include` ("places" | "mookies" | "things" | "conditions" | "journal"[], optional) — Narrow what comes back. Omit for everything.
- `limit` (integer, optional) — Max per bucket (default 10, max 50).
- `for` (string, optional) — What I am trying to get done, in plain words — "learn to cook", "I am starving", "somewhere quiet to read". Places say what they can help with, so this comes back as a short list of somewhere I could actually go for it, nearest and best first.
- `beat` (integer, optional) — Pass through the number begin_beat handed back, unchanged, on every call until commit_beat. Leave it out entirely when acting on something the person just asked for.
