About

Curling is a fully local, hand-curated curling rules, strategy and terminology reference. rule_lookup gives one rule or playing-area topic's full detail across the sheet, house, button, hog/tee/back/centre lines, the hack, free guard zone, burned stones, hammer, ends, blank/extra ends, conceding, delivery, sweeping, team positions, measuring, and the mixed doubles power play. term_glossary defines 36+ curling terms (weight, turn, biter, bonspiel, eight-ender, pebble, and more) — omit the term to list them all. strategy_concept explains a named shot or strategic idea (guard, draw, takeout, freeze, raise, come-around, peel, hit and roll, tap back, tick shot, corner freeze, hammer management, stealing an end) with when to use it and related concepts. scoring_summary explains how points are counted and when the hammer changes hands. equipment_overview covers the stone, broom, slider, gripper, delivery stick and hack. format_comparison lines up two named play formats side by side — players, stones, ends, roles and notable rules. history_note gives a short, qualitatively-dated history of the sport. beginner_tips gives a curated, importance-ordered shortlist for new curlers. Keyless; fully local; zero upstream calls; nothing stored.

Sources: Hand-curated from widely published, general curling rules and practice as of build date; fully local, zero upstream calls

Covers the sheet, house, button, hog/tee/back/centre lines, the hack, free guard zone, burned stones, hammer, ends, blank/extra ends, conceding, delivery, sweeping, team positions, measuring, and the mixed doubles power play. Use for "what's the free guard zone", "what happens on a hog line violation". Args: topic.

Strategy

strategy_concept — Explains one named shot type or strategic concept — guard, draw shot, takeout, freeze, raise, come-around, peel, hit and roll, tap back, tick shot, corner freeze, hammer management, stealing an end — including when to use it and related concepts. Use for "what's a draw shot", "when should I play a guard vs a takeout". Args: name.

Scoring & Equipment

scoring_summary — How curling scoring works: only one team scores per end, how many points, when a measure is needed, how the hammer changes hands, and what an eight-ender is. Use for "how is curling scored", "what's an eight-ender".

equipment_overview — Curling equipment: the granite stone, broom/brush, slider and gripper shoes/soles, the delivery stick/stabilizer, and the hack. Use for "what's a curling stone made of", "what's a delivery stick". Args: item.

Use for "traditional curling vs mixed doubles", "how is wheelchair curling different". Args: format_a, format_b.

history_note — A short history of curling: its Scottish origins, spread abroad (especially to Canada), the shift to indoor ice, and its path to becoming a full Olympic medal sport (including mixed doubles). Dates before the modern era are phrased qualitatively where the exact year isn't firmly established. Use for "when did curling become an Olympic sport", "where does curling come from".

beginner_tips — A curated shortlist of tips for someone new to curling, ordered from most to least essential. Use for "what should a beginner curler focus on", "tips for my first time curling". Args: count.

Conventions

  • Read-only. Every tool reads public data or computes; nothing is written anywhere and nothing about the user is stored.
  • Result envelope. ok: true with data, or ok: false with a structured error (bad_input, not_found, upstream_error). degraded lists optional sources that were unreachable.
  • Rate limits. Free tier 60 tool calls/minute and 300/day per user (keyed on the user identifier supplied by the host agent, else client IP); Pro keys raise this. Over-limit calls return HTTP 429 with Retry-After. initialize and tools/list are never counted.

Curling — Privacy Policy

Effective 25 September 2026. Unify Dynamics LLC ("we", "us"), Menlo Park, California.

What Curling is. Curling is a connector (an MCP server and REST API) that AI assistants and personal agents call on your behalf for curling rules, strategy and terminology reference — the house, hammer, guards, takeouts, formats and more. You interact with your assistant; the assistant sends us only the arguments needed for that one lookup.

What we receive. The arguments of each tool call, the technical headers needed to serve the request (an IP address or a client identifier supplied by the assistant, and a Pro API key if you have one), and standard server logs.

Everything is answered from a bundled, hand-curated reference file and nothing is stored. No request is forwarded to any third party — there is no upstream call at all, live or otherwise — and no query is logged in request bodies, recorded, or used to train anything.

What we do not receive or store. We do not receive your conversation with the assistant or your name, and we do not build a profile from your queries: each request is answered independently and nothing carries over between requests. Rate-limit counters (a client identifier and timestamps) are held in memory for at most 24 hours. Hosting-provider access logs, which contain IP addresses and request paths but not request bodies, are retained for up to 30 days for security and abuse prevention.

Sub-processors. None — the entire dataset is bundled with the server and answered locally. Hosting: Vercel (United States regions).

Legal bases and your rights. Our processing is necessary to provide the service you request through your assistant. Because we store no personal data beyond short-lived logs, requests to access, correct or delete personal data are usually satisfied automatically; you can still contact agent@connectorbay.com and we will respond within 30 days. We do not sell or share personal information and do not use your data to train models.

Children. Curling is a general-audience service operated by the adult using the assistant.

Changes. We will post changes here with a new effective date.

Curling is an independent reference and hobby/game-design tool, not affiliated with or endorsed by any brand, organization, league, or publisher it may factually mention. It does not provide legal, financial, medical, or safety-certification advice, and is not a substitute for supervised instruction where real physical risk is involved.

  4. Acceptable use. Automated use within the published rate limits is welcome.
  5. Availability. The Service is provided "as is" without warranty. We may change, limit or discontinue it at any time.
  6. Data. Our Privacy Policy describes what we process. In short: your query is answered from a bundled reference file, and nothing is stored.
  7. Pro keys. Optional Pro API keys are issued at our discretion, are personal to the holder and may be revoked for abuse.
  8. Liability. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Unify Dynamics LLC is not liable for any loss arising from use of or reliance on the Service. Our total liability is limited to US $100.
  9. Governing law. California law; venue in San Mateo County, California.
