Measured tools (6)

• search_tools read-only

  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.

  Parameters:

  • query (required) — string — What the user is looking for, e.g. "AI video editing" or "alternatives to Jasper".
  • limit — integer — Max results (1-20, default 8).

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent yes · open-world yes

• get_tool read-only

  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.

  Parameters:

  • slug (required) — string — The directory slug, e.g. "gamma-app-ai-powered-presenting-ideas" (from search_tools).

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent yes · open-world yes

• check_tool_status read-only

  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.

  Parameters:

  • tool (required) — string — Tool name or directory slug to check, e.g. "Jasper" or "jasper-ai".

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent yes · open-world yes

• find_alternatives read-only

  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.

  Parameters:

  • slug (required) — string — The directory slug of the tool to find alternatives for.

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent yes · open-world yes

• compare_tools read-only

  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.

  Parameters:

  • slugA (required) — string — Directory slug of the first tool.
  • slugB (required) — string — Directory slug of the second tool.

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent yes · open-world yes

• list_tools read-only

  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>".

  Parameters:

  • role — string — Job-role slug, e.g. "sales", "marketing", "customer-support".
  • limit — integer — Max results (1-20, default 8).
  • pricing — string — Optional pricing filter: Free, Freemium, Free Trial, or Paid.
  • category — string — Category slug (from search_tools results), e.g. "productivity".

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent yes · open-world yes
