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 (6)

`browse_catalogue`	List what PodLexicon covers. `kind` is "podcasts", "topics", or "guests". `query` filters by name.
`find_similar_episodes`	Find episodes covering similar ground to a given one. Nearest-neighbour over the episodes' summary embeddings.
`get_episode`	Get an episode's metadata: title, show, date, duration, audio URL.
`get_episodes_by`	List the episodes belonging to one podcast, topic, or guest. `kind` is "podcast", "topic", or "guest"; `slug` comes from `browse_catalogue`.
`get_episode_summary`	Read an AI-generated summary of one episode. `detail` is "brief" (~400 tokens), "detailed" (~2,500 tokens), or "topics".
`search_episodes`	Find podcast episodes about a topic. Returns a ranked shortlist with a one-line hook per episode - call `get_episode_summary` to read one in full.
