## Tools (7)

- `workinsiders_ats_integrations`: Which tools integrate with an applicant tracking system (Bullhorn, Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, JobAdder and others), from the Work Insiders ATS compatibility data. With a tool given as well, it checks that one pair. Each match says whether the vendor confirms it, the evidence link and the sync direction.
- `workinsiders_category_overview`: What a category costs and who leads it: tool count, median public starting price, how many hide their price or have a free plan, how many run an MCP server, editor picks, cheapest public prices and the category intro.
- `workinsiders_compare_tools`: Side by side comparison of 2 to 4 named tools: starting price, free plan and trial, MCP, API, AI-native, best for, watch-outs, bottom line and Capterra rating.
- `workinsiders_find_alternatives`: Alternatives to one named tool: first the ones Work Insiders names in its write-up (with the reason), then others from the same category. Filterable by MCP, free plan and price.
- `workinsiders_get_tool`: Returns the full Work Insiders profile of one named tool: what it does, pricing with plans and the date the price was checked, free trial, first party MCP server and API, AI features, bottom line, strengths, watch-outs, best for, pros and cons, integrations, Capterra rating and named alternatives. Finding tools by need or filter is what workinsiders_search_tools does.
- `workinsiders_list_categories`: Lists every Work Insiders category (ATS, sourcing, email finders, AI interviewing, payroll and so on) with its slug, tool count and page link.
- `workinsiders_search_tools`: Searches the Work Insiders directory of 1,000+ recruiting, HR, sales prospecting and AI tools by free text and filters: category, first party MCP server, API, free plan, free trial, AI-native and maximum starting price. Returns up to 25 tools per page, each with its starting price, flags and Work Insiders page link. Full detail on one tool comes from workinsiders_get_tool.
