`get_pain_trend`How an app's pain points changed over time: compares two archived analyses and labels each theme new / resolved / rising / falling / stable with share deltas (percentage points). Instant (archive read, no LLM). Default: latest vs ~30 days earlier. Returns a note when the app has fewer than two snapshots yet.

`get_version_history`Per-version review stats (review count, average rating, first/last seen) — spot a rating crash right after a bad release. Android: aggregated from recent reviews. iOS: current version + release notes. Steam: not available (Steam exposes no per-version data — returns an empty list).

`mine_app_pain_points`THE core tool: fetch recent reviews of any iOS/Android app, keep the negative ones, and cluster them into ranked pain points (title, sharePercent, severity 1-5, verbatim evidence quotes). Ideal for competitive research and product discovery. Cached 7 days (instant on repeat); a COLD server-side analysis takes 30-120s. If the result has "mode":"agent", it contains prepared negative reviews and "instructions" — do the clustering yourself and present it to the user. Not available for Steam (mine the game's mobile counterpart instead).
