Tools of The AI Tools Index
	Description		Read-only	Idempotent	Open world
`create_checkout`Create a Stripe checkout URL for one paid add-on on one listing, and return it for a HUMAN to open. Never present this as a completed purchase: nothing is charged until a person completes checkout in a browser. Returns an error when the listing doesn't exist, the add-on isn't purchasable yet (free early access), or payments aren't configured in this environment.

`get_tool`Fetch the full public detail for one AI tool by its listing slug (as returned by search_tools' toolUrl, e.g. '/tools/acme-writer' -> slug 'acme-writer'). Call this after search_tools to get a tool's full description, launch date, revenue signals (verified or self-reported), and for-sale status. Returns null if the slug doesn't resolve to a live The AI Tools Index listing.

`list_alternatives`List live, same-category alternatives to a well-known AI tool (e.g. 'chatgpt', 'notion-ai', 'figma'). Call this when a user asks 'what are the alternatives to X' or wants competitors/substitutes for a named product. `target` is the well-known tool's slug, not a listing slug from this catalog.

Not declared	Yes	Yes	No
`list_offers`List the optional paid add-ons a maker can buy to promote their listing (name, one-sentence effect, price in USD). Listing is always free; these only ADD reach and are always labeled 'Sponsored'. Call this to see what's purchasable before create_checkout. During free early access (early-bird), offers are not yet purchasable and this says so (purchasable=false).

`search_tools`Search the The AI Tools Index catalog of live, published AI tools by a free-text query. Matches on tool name, tagline, or category name (case-insensitive substring). Call this first when a user asks to find, discover, or compare AI tools by keyword, use-case, or category (e.g. 'agents', 'writing assistants'). Returns up to 20 results.

`submit_tool`Submit a new AI tool to The AI Tools Index on behalf of its maker. We fetch the submitted url and look for the The AI Tools Index badge. Badge found (status QUEUED): no account is needed — the badge proves the maker controls the site. The listing enters the free review queue and goes live within 7 days if it passes review; the result has its listingUrl. Badge not found (status DRAFT): the listing is a private draft. The result carries badgeHtml — once it is on the page, a later re-check queues the draft (drafts are re-checked in rotation, 25 per run, one run every 6 hours, for 90 days), so do not submit again — and a claimUrl where the maker can sign up with the same email instead. Refused: our own domains, private or non-https hosts (error reserved_host), and a host that already has a live, queued or pending listing (error duplicate_host). Call this only when a user explicitly wants to list their own tool — never to submit a tool on someone else's behalf without their email. Rate-limited globally to 5 submissions per hour. Supply tagline, problemSolved, logoUrl and imageUrls whenever you can: they are what make the published listing look like a real product page rather than a stub.
