Tool changes

No tool definition changes recorded. A server's first observation is its baseline; later probes record what changes.

Checks run on what our credential-free, read-only probes observe; tools are never called and no code audit is performed. How it is computed.

Tools (5)

`explain_frontier_score`read-only	The Frontier Score method: its three pillars and what each measures, recency, the integrity rule, tiers and confidence.
`get_breakthrough`read-only	Everything Frontier holds on one entry: the plain-language summary, why it matters and what to watch, authors and institutions, the full Frontier Score breakdown (each pillar and what drives it, recency and confidence) and the sources behind each figure. Accepts an OpenAlex work id (e.g. W7214802080), an entry slug, or a frontierresearch.co entry URL.
`latest_breakthroughs`read-only	What Frontier added most recently: the entries listed in the last N days (the index adds a few new papers from the top journals every day), newest first, optionally within one field.
`list_fields`read-only	The research fields Frontier covers, with how many entries each holds and its median Frontier Score.
`search_breakthroughs`read-only	Search Frontier's evidence-scored index of new research from the top scientific journals. Matches the query against titles, plain-language summaries, authors and topics, optionally within one field, and returns the matching entries ranked by Frontier Score (or newest paper first), each with its summary, score, Frontier URL and DOI. Leave the query empty to browse a field.
