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_caseread-onlyOne case: its dated spread timeline (seed, first amplifier, platform jumps, press, peak), Spread Score and citation. A free account reads every event; Pro adds the playbook (why it worked, what to do), every sourced number and the sources.
list_mechanicsread-onlyThe closed vocabulary of spread mechanics, each defined, with how many cases use it.
search_casesread-onlySearch the How It Spread library of viral cases (films, products, memes, campaigns) by text, kind, mechanic or platform. Returns each case's Spread Score, dates, platforms, mechanics, an image URL and the case URL to cite.

Schemas: list_tools.
