## Tools (4)

- `get_application_deadlines`: Recorded application, aid and commitment deadlines for up to 20 colleges, with days remaining.

    Also returns a prep schedule worked backwards from the earliest application deadline
    (recommendations, first essay draft, final essay, submission) and a calendar-file URL.
    Dates come from institution records for the current cycle and can lag; tell the student
    to confirm each on the official admissions page. No student data is read or stored.
    
- `get_financial_aid`: Read historical average net price, income brackets, grants and debt for a college.

    These cohort statistics are not a personalized cost estimate or financial aid offer.
    Public-college averages may not apply to nonresident students. Verify the official
    college net-price calculator before deciding affordability. Missing figures remain unknown.
    
- `get_university_details`: Read a college's admissions ranges, majors, costs and outcomes by IPEDS ID.

    Use search_universities to resolve a name first. Values are historical and may be missing;
    cite the returned school URL. No login, personal profile or student documents are accessed.
    
- `search_universities`: Find colleges by name, two-letter location, field of study or historical acceptance rate.

    Returns at most 20 institutions and links to school profiles. This searches public
    institutional records, does not access student accounts, and does not predict admission.
