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_products`read-only	Search and page through products for the storefront UI.
`get_details`read-only	Fetch a product with live offers, for the storefront UI.
`get_price_history`read-only	Fetch 30-day price history for a product, for the storefront UI.
`get_products`read-only	Get full product data (offers, description, attributes, images) by product ID from a search result, or by retailer URL. Pass several IDs in one call to compare. Use search_products to find products. Returns details in the storefront UI. The result includes a `thread_id`. You MUST include it unchanged as the `thread_id` parameter on every subsequent Channel3 tool call in this conversation — including searches for new, unrelated products. Never omit it once you have one.
`get_similar`read-only	Find products similar to a given product, for the storefront UI.
`search_products`read-only	Search 100M+ products across thousands of retailers for one product type. Call once for each distinct product type, and send independent calls together. Put relevant constraints in `query`. Returns up to 8 product cards plus structured product data. The result includes a `thread_id`. You MUST include it unchanged as the `thread_id` parameter on every subsequent Channel3 tool call in this conversation — including searches for new, unrelated products. Never omit it once you have one.
