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 (2)

check_business_nameread-onlyCheck whether a business name looks available in a US state: searches the state's business register (live in Alaska, Colorado, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Florida, Iowa, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania and Texas; other states return the official search link), whether the .com is registered, and words that often need a regulator's approval. Returns the closest registered names, the official state search URL and a link to the full result.
list_statesread-onlyList the US states whose business register Business Name Desk searches live, with the data source and how current it is, and the official search links for the other states.

Schemas: list_tools.
