## Tools (as reported by the server, not verified)

- `search\_tools`: Search the AI Tool Directory catalog \(2,000+ AI tools\) by keyword, use case, or category using hybrid semantic search. Returns ranked tools with slug, one-line description, pricing model, and rating. Use this to discover tools, then get\_tool for full detail.
- `get\_tool`: Get the full profile of one AI tool by its directory slug: description, pricing, key features, editorial verdict and rating, the date it was last human-verified, lifecycle status, and the official site URL.
- `check\_tool\_status`: Check whether an AI tool is still alive. Returns active, deceased, or acquired — with the date and cause if it shut down, and live alternatives if it did. Use this before recommending a tool to avoid suggesting one that no longer exists.
- `find\_alternatives`: Find curated alternatives to a given AI tool by its directory slug. If the tool has shut down, returns live replacements. Good for "what should I use instead of X" questions.
- `compare\_tools`: Compare two AI tools side by side by their directory slugs. Returns each tool’s profile \(pricing, rating, editorial verdict, lifecycle\) plus the editor’s head-to-head verdict and bottom line when one exists for the pair.
- `list\_tools`: List the top-rated active AI tools in a category or for a job role, optionally filtered by pricing. Good for "what are the best AI tools for sales" or "free tools in \<category\>".
