List all bike-sharing networks available in Italy.

I've found several networks in Italy. Some major ones include 'Bicincittà' in various cities, 'ToBike' in Turin (ID: tobike), and 'BikeMi' in Milan (ID: bikemi). Which city are you interested in?

Check the current bike availability for the 'velib' network in Paris.

Fetching live data for Vélib' Métropole... I see 1,400+ stations. For example, the station at 'Mairie du 14ème' currently has 12 mechanical bikes and 5 electric bikes available. Do you want to check a specific area?

Get detailed information for the bike network with ID 'citibike-nyc'.

Accessing Citi Bike NYC data... This network operates in New York, NY. I have access to real-time status for all stations, including location coordinates and current bike/dock counts. Would you like a summary of the nearest stations?

Use the `list_networks` tool. You can ask the agent to filter the results by city or country name to find the correct `id` (e.g., 'velib' for Paris or 'citibike-nyc' for New York).
