### Tool changes

  - before: Approximate the pages linking to a competitor using free DuckDuckGo signals (domain mentions and brand mentions). De-duplicates by host and excludes the competitor's own domain. Not a complete backlink index — a free, directional starting point for prospecting.
  - after: Approximate the pages linking to a competitor using free web-search signals (domain mentions and brand mentions). De-duplicates by host and excludes the competitor's own domain. Not a complete backlink index — a free, directional starting point for prospecting.
- 2026-10-31 `find_prospects` changed (description)
  - before: Find guest-post, resource-page, and roundup link-building prospects for a topic by running classic outreach footprints through DuckDuckGo and merging the results by host.
  - after: Find guest-post, resource-page, and roundup link-building prospects for a topic by running classic outreach footprints through web search and merging the results by host.
- 2026-10-31 `find_mentions` changed (description)
  - before: Find linked and unlinked mentions of a brand across the web via DuckDuckGo HTML results. When a domain is supplied, classifies each mention as linked (on the brand domain) or unlinked (a third-party page — a potential backlink opportunity).
  - after: Find linked and unlinked mentions of a brand across the web via web search results. When a domain is supplied, classifies each mention as linked (on the brand domain) or unlinked (a third-party page — a potential backlink opportunity).
