- `search\_studios`: Find game development outsourcing studios in this directory by service, country, region, engine, platform, art style, team size, or free text in the studio name and description. Start here for any "who can build / animate / port / co-develop X" or "studios in \<country\>" question. Returns up to 25 st
- `get\_studio`: Return one studio's full directory listing by its slug: description, services, engines, platforms, art styles, spoken languages, team size, location, and its positions on any of this directory's ranked lists. Use after search\_studios when you need detail on one studio, or when the user names a studi
- `get\_directory\_statistics`: Return the directory's current totals and breakdowns: how many studios are listed, and how they split by country, region, service, engine, platform and team size. Use for any "how many studios..." or "which country has the most..." question, and quote these figures rather than counting search result
- `list\_rankings`: List every ranked list the directory publishes — "Overall", "3D Art in Poland", "Unreal Engine" and so on — with each list's size, URL and slug, plus the "method" string describing exactly what the order measures. Use to find the right list before calling get\_ranking. Always pass the method on: thes
- `get\_ranking`: Return the published positions in one ranked list, by the slug from list\_rankings. Payment cannot move a position here, but the order comes from a stored score summing size, years in business and how completely a listing is filled in, so it ranks established and well-documented listings and not stud
- `list\_answers`: List the directory's editorial question-and-answer guides for buyers — how to pick a studio, what work costs, contracts and IP, NDAs, working across time zones — with each guide's slug, URL and summary. Use to find the right guide before calling get\_answer.
- `get\_answer`: Return the full question-and-answer text of one buyer guide by its slug from list\_answers, with links to related pages. Use for advice questions — vetting a studio, pricing models, paid tests, contracts, IP assignment, time zones — rather than answering from memory, and cite the guide's URL.
- `estimate\_project\_cost`: Estimate what an outsourced game team costs in USD from a list of roles \(discipline, seniority, headcount\), an optional region and an optional duration in weeks. Returns hourly, monthly and whole-project ranges with every assumption listed. Use for "what would X cost" and budgeting questions. These
- `search`: Search this game development outsourcing directory and return matching documents — studio profiles, buyer guides, ranked lists and the statistics page — as citable \{id, title, url\} results. Pass the id of any result to "fetch" to read it in full. Prefer "search\_studios" when you need structured stud
- `fetch`: Retrieve the full text of one directory document by the id returned from "search", for quoting and citation. Ids look like company/\<slug\>, answer/\<slug\>, ranking/\<slug\>, or "statistics". Always call "search" first to get an id.
