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 (3)

get_websiteread-onlyOne entry from Handsome Local by its slug (the last part of an entry URL, e.g. gk-plumbing): the whole review paragraph, every tag, the credit, the live site, the entry page and the screenshots. Use after search_websites when the full review matters.
list_filtersread-onlyThe trades and tags that have published entries on Handsome Local, each with a count, so a search can be built from filters that exist. Cheap; call it before search_websites when unsure what to filter on.
search_websitesread-onlySearch Handsome Local, a hand-picked gallery of real websites for trades and home services businesses (plumbers, electricians, roofers, builders, heating and HVAC firms, landscapers) in the UK and US. Every entry is a live site chosen by an editor because it is well built and wins work; each comes with a screenshot of the top of the page, a one-sentence summary, its tags and a credit for whoever built it. Filter by trade, region, style, colour, platform, conversion features or typeface, or search free text. Returns the newest matches first. Use it for visual references when designing or building a website for a tradesperson. It does not rate or rank sites and it covers the trades listed only.
