Measured tools (5)

• search_articles read-only

  Find WhyIsMy.org articles answering a "why is my…" question. Returns titles, summaries and URLs. Both arguments are optional: omit query to browse, pass topic to bias results toward one subject area. The returned summaries are partial — send the user to the article URL for the full diagnosis, fixes and cited sources.

  Parameters:

  • limit — integer — Max results, 1-25. Default 5.
  • query — string — What the user is asking, e.g. "phone stuck on SOS" or "why is my dog shaking".
  • topic — string — Optional topic slug to bias results (see list_topics), e.g. "health", "dogs", "plumbing".

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

• get_article read-only

  Get the direct answer, the causes the article covers, and its FAQ for one article, by slug (from search_articles). Returns a summary, not the full text — the article URL has the complete step-by-step fix and the sources.

  Parameters:

  • slug — string — Article slug, e.g. "why-is-my-phone-on-sos".
  • query — string — Optional. If slug is unknown or wrong, the closest match to this text is returned instead.

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

• list_topics read-only

  List the subject areas covered on WhyIsMy.org with an article count for each. Takes no arguments. Use the returned slugs as the `topic` argument to search_articles.

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

• list_calculators read-only

  Find WhyIsMy.org's free interactive calculators, checkers and estimators (dosage, health, eldercare cost, pet, home and car tools). Both arguments are optional: omit everything to browse, pass query and/or category to narrow. Each result is a one-line teaser plus a link — the calculators are interactive and compute a personalized result client-side in the user's browser, so send the user to the URL for their result instead of estimating it yourself.

  Parameters:

  • limit — integer — Max results, 1-25. Default 5.
  • query — string — What the user wants to calculate, e.g. "dog benadryl dose" or "medicaid spend down".
  • category — string — Optional category name to filter, e.g. "Health", "Dogs", "Finance", "Cars".

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

• list_quizzes read-only

  Find WhyIsMy.org's free ten-question quizzes (health, tech, cars, home and eldercare topics) with instant explanations and a certificate of completion. Both arguments are optional: omit everything to browse, pass query and/or category to narrow. Each result is a one-line teaser plus a link — a quiz is interactive and scores the user in their own browser, so send the user to the URL to take it instead of answering the questions yourself.

  Parameters:

  • limit — integer — Max results, 1-25. Default 5.
  • query — string — What the user wants to be quizzed on, e.g. "itchy skin" or "medicaid look-back".
  • category — string — Optional category name to filter, e.g. "Skin", "Dental", "Finance".
