Measured tools (9)

• search_catalog read-only

  Natural-language search across software products, capabilities (what software does) and replacement workflows. Understands synonyms, e.g. 'make thumbnails' finds YouTube thumbnail workflows. Returns ranked hits with URLs, plus the tool and capabilities the query most likely refers to.

  Parameters:

  • query (required) — string — What the user is looking for: a product name, a task, or an outcome
  • kinds — array — Restrict result types
  • limit — integer — Max results (default 10)

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

• get_tool read-only

  Full structured profile of a software product: plans and prices (with evidence status and verification date), capabilities with fit and limitations, honest reasons it's hard to replace, risks, related replacement workflows and sources.

  Parameters:

  • tool (required) — string — Tool name or slug, e.g. 'Canva' or 'canva'

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

• find_alternatives read-only

  For a specific product (e.g. Canva), list each capability it provides and the best alternatives — ranking tools the user ALREADY owns first at $0 extra. Pass the capabilities the user actually uses (from get_tool) for a precise answer. Includes the honest case for keeping the tool.

  Parameters:

  • tool (required) — string — The tool the user is considering dropping
  • team_size — integer — People who need access (affects per-seat costs)
  • owned_tools — array — Tools the user already pays for, by name or slug, e.g. ["ChatGPT Plus", "google-workspace"]
  • capabilities — array — Capability slugs the user actually uses this tool for (default: its core capabilities)

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

• compare_solutions read-only

  For one capability (e.g. 'youtube-thumbnails', 'crm-contacts', 'workflow-automation'), compare all known tools: fit, quality scores on the dimensions that matter, required skill, cheapest qualifying plan and limitations.

  Parameters:

  • capability (required) — string — Capability slug, or a phrase like 'make thumbnails' (resolved via search)

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

• find_workflows read-only

  Find practical, step-by-step workflows that replace a paid tool or accomplish an outcome with tools the user already owns. Filter by tool being replaced, capability, or free-text query.

  Parameters:

  • limit — integer
  • query — string
  • capability — string
  • replaces_tool — string — Only workflows that replace this tool

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

• get_workflow read-only

  Full replacement guide: before/after, required tools and extra cost, setup steps, copyable prompts, templates/scripts, limitations, risks, a verification checklist to run BEFORE cancelling, and the savings methodology.

  Parameters:

  • slug (required) — string
  • sections — array — Return only these sections to save context (default: all)

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

• recommend_stack read-only

  Given the outcomes the user needs (free text or capability slugs) and what they already own, recommend per-capability options (owned tools at $0 first) and a minimal stack covering everything, with incremental monthly cost and warnings about skill, collaboration and data sensitivity.

  Parameters:

  • query — string — Outcome in plain English, e.g. 'I need 15 YouTube thumbnails a month and a simple CRM'
  • skill — string — User's technical skill
  • team_size — integer
  • owned_tools — array — Tools the user already pays for, by name or slug, e.g. ["ChatGPT Plus", "google-workspace"]
  • capabilities — array
  • sensitive_data — boolean
  • needs_collaboration — boolean

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

• estimate_savings read-only

  Audit the user's subscriptions. For each: keep, downgrade, redundant, test_replacement, review_unused or keep_critical — with the arithmetic. Savings are split into 'likely' and 'possible' and never double-counted. Costs are what the user actually pays (monthly, all seats).

  Parameters:

  • subscriptions (required) — array
  • skill — string

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

• get_pricing read-only

  List plan prices for one tool or all tools, each with evidence status, verification date and source URL.

  Parameters:

  • tool — string

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