Tools of Present Picker
	Description		Read-only	Idempotent	Open world
`get_gift`Picked for them, not the store: returns the full detail for one gift idea from the bank: description, why-line, a buying-notes line (what to look for and what to avoid when buying it), a care-and-pairing tip, budget band, who it suits, its interests and styles, and up to 3 similar ideas, each with its own link. Accepts a gift id returned by pick_gift or search_gifts, or a gift name like 'cast iron skillet'. When nothing matches, the result says so and gives example ids.

`pick_gift`Returns up to 5 gift ideas from a fixed bank of 255 checked gift ideas, matched to who the gift is for, a budget band, interests, and an optional gift style. Each pick has a one-line description, a why-line explaining the fit, one buying note, its budget band, a link that opens that exact idea on thepresentpicker.com, and a photo link to the picture on that idea's page. Some picks carry a good_to_know line: a plain handling fact the bank states for that idea, such as the weight of a cast iron skillet, present only where the bank states one. The result also carries lead_pick — the top pick at full bank depth, with its buying notes (what to look for and what to avoid) and a care-and-pairing tip — more_ideas with the remaining picks under the heading 'More ideas if that one misses', and answer_text, that focused answer formatted as text: it opens by naming who the gift is for, in the caller's words, and how the top pick fits them. Recipient and budget band are hard filters. A style, when given, is a hard filter too: every pick carries the style, and the result reports total_matches and, on a style call, style_matches. Interests narrow the pool, and picks matching more interests rank first. keyword names a specific item the buyer asked for: picks matching every keyword word rank first inside the same filtered pool, carry their full bank detail, and the result reports keyword_matches (a miss is stated in the note, and a miss carries no lead_pick). exclude names an item the person already has: matching picks are dropped before ranking, and the result notes the drop. A recipient-only call (no budget, interest, style, or keyword) returns a spread across all budget bands, led by a mid-band pick and never by the $100+ band — a starting sampler, not a tailored list. A 'teen' recipient maps to the kid pool and carries a recipient_note explaining how teen picks are drawn from that pool.

`search_gifts`Picked for them, not the store: searches the fixed bank of 255 gift ideas by interest, by keyword, or by both, with optional recipient and budget-band filters. Returns up to 10 matches in bank order, each with a one-line description, a why-line, one buying note, its budget band, a photo link, and a link that opens that exact idea on thepresentpicker.com. The result reports the total number of matches, including when there are none.
