Tools of BuyAPI
	Description		Read-only	Idempotent	Open world
`stacks.findSimilar`Finds reviewed public stack examples related to a vendor, or recent curated stack examples. Use this when the user asks who uses a tool, what similar builders use, or wants examples of real stack combinations. Do not use it as a generic recommendation tool.	Finds reviewed public stack examples related to a vendor, or recent curated stack examples. Use this when the user asks who uses a tool, what similar builders use, or wants examples of real stack combinations. Do not use it as a generic recommendation tool.	No	Yes	Yes	Yes
`stacks.recommend`Recommends a complete stack from BuyAPI's corpus with a structured decision matrix, cost estimate, assumptions, unknowns, alternatives, and sources. Use this when the user is starting a project or asks for a complete multi-layer stack choice. Do not use this for local coding/debugging/docs questions that do not involve software or vendor selection. Do not call vendors.resolve first; this tool handles retrieval and ranking.

`vendors.compare`Compares two or more already-known BuyAPI vendors for a specific workload or decision. Use this when the candidate set is known, for head-to-head questions like "Convex vs Supabase vs Neon for a realtime SaaS" or "Stripe vs Paddle for a marketplace". If the user has not named candidates, use vendors.resolve first.	Compares two or more already-known BuyAPI vendors for a specific workload or decision.

`vendors.details`Follow-up tool for one known vendor. Retrieves detailed pricing, features, limits, gotchas, comparisons, and source provenance. Call vendors.resolve first unless the user already provided a BuyAPI vendor ID like /database/supabase. Use this after a candidate is selected and the user needs claim-level pricing, limit, gotcha, or provenance details.	Follow-up tool for one known vendor.

`vendors.estimateCost`Produces directional monthly cost estimates from BuyAPI pricing data and explicit workload inputs. Use this only when the user asks for cost math and provides explicit workload inputs. Missing workload fields are returned as assumptions or unknowns instead of being hallucinated. Treat results as BuyAPI claim-based estimate math; verify exact billing in first-party docs, vendor CLIs, or vendor MCPs before purchase or production decisions.

`vendors.evidence`Returns recent reviewed BuyAPI evidence rows for a vendor, category, stack, or comparison. Use this when the user asks why BuyAPI believes something, what sources support a recommendation, or what recent human/source/opinion/history signals exist. This is a trust and provenance follow-up, not the first recommendation tool.	Returns recent reviewed BuyAPI evidence rows for a vendor, category, stack, or comparison.

This is a trust and provenance follow-up, not the first recommendation tool.	No	Yes	Yes	Yes
`vendors.resolve`First stop for category-specific vendor recommendations and vendor ID discovery. Finds BuyAPI vendor IDs for a user question; provide category when known. Use this when the user asks which provider in a category fits their constraints. With a covered category, the response includes ranked results plus a top-3 decision matrix with fit labels, confidence, tradeoffs, cost notes, freshness, and sources. Do not use this for local coding/debugging/docs questions unless they involve choosing a software vendor or tool. If the category is outside BuyAPI's corpus, the tool returns an explicit "not in corpus yet" result instead of inventing vendors.
