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 (5)

`check_offer`read-only	Compare an offer someone was pitched (a course, a trading bot, a done-for-you store, a micro-SaaS dream, AI books, voice agencies...) with the 15 schemes in the Reality Check and the 'do not start' guides. Returns what was checked, what could not be checked, and the sources. Use before giving an opinion on any 'AI income' pitch.
`get_platform_rules`read-only	How a selling or posting platform works for small sellers: fees, house norms, what gets accounts removed, and whether automation or AI help is allowed. Platforms include Etsy, Gumroad, Fiverr, Upwork, YouTube, TikTok, Reddit, X, dev.to, Amazon programmes and more.
`get_way`read-only	Full detail for one way to earn (id from search_ways, or its name): what you sell, honest earnings note, one-time setup, the platform rules, a stop rule and risks, with the link to the public guide.
`recent_changes`read-only	Dated changes that affect people earning online (fee changes, new rules, headwinds and tailwinds), newest first, each with a 'so what' and a source. Optionally filter by platform.
`search_ways`read-only	Search 40 sourced guides to earning online (selling digital products, content, services, resale, clipping, AI-assisted work). Filter by verdict, time per day, or free-to-start. Returns short cards with a link to each full guide. Use for 'what could I do with 1 hour a day', 'is X worth trying', or to list options.
