### Tool changes

- 2026-10-20 `explain_fact` changed (description, inputSchema)
  - before: Why does HEY say a project is Shipping, Dormant or Still Building, or show a figure? The value, FACT, DERIVED or UNKNOWN, the rule and version, the winning source, the inputs, the lineage and the evidence ids. Omit fact to list what can be explained; source.counted takes a source id.
  - after: Why does HEY say a project is Shipping, Dormant or Still Building, or show a figure? The value, FACT, DERIVED or UNKNOWN, the rule and version, the winning source, the inputs, the lineage and the evidence ids. Omit fact to list what can be explained; source.counted takes a source id. build.change explains one change (event=<ledger id>, or the latest): its stage, who reported it, any exact release↔deployment link, what HEY does not know.
- 2026-10-17 `chain_overview` changed (description)
  - before: How active is Robinhood Chain? view: days (default; trades, volume, tokens, transactions, launches, ships per day), this-week, weekly-report (an ISO week, or the latest), unlocks (scheduled HoodLock unlocks with proof), build-market (Build Momentum beside market attention). days names no one; other views name projects.
  - after: How active is Robinhood Chain? view: days (default; ships and builders per day, then market context), this-week, weekly-report (an ISO week, or the latest), unlocks (scheduled HoodLock unlocks with proof), build-market (Build Momentum beside market attention). days names no one; other views name projects.
- 2026-10-16 `chain_overview` changed (description)
  - before: How active is Robinhood Chain as a whole? view: days (default; trades, volume, tokens, transactions, launches, ships per day), this-week, weekly-report (an ISO week, or the latest), unlocks (scheduled HoodLock unlocks with proof), build-market (Build Momentum beside market attention). Aggregates only; nobody is named.

- 2026-10-16 `find_projects` changed (description)
  - before: Which Robinhood Chain project is this name, $TICKER or 0x contract, and is anyone building it? A full 0x address is a contract lookup: its ships in 30 days, the last one with its source. Or browse who is shipping now, back from dormancy, accelerating or building ahead of market attention. Surfaces: building-with-token: verified shipping, active or resumed, with a token whose market is live. still-building: verified activity continuing through a market drawdown HEY tracked. under-the-radar: eligible under HEY's Under the Radar rule (status shipping, active or resumed; Build Momentum at least 30; at least 2 meaningful events in the last 30 days, one of them a ship rather than a commit summary; a fresh reading of an active market, not a thin one or only a launch curve, for the project's own token) and a positive Discovery Gap — market-attention percentile below the build percentile; a positive gap alone is not enough, and it does not bound attention itself. shipping-now: status SHIPPING. most-active: shipping, active or resumed, by Build Momentum. new-builders: recorded in the last 7 days. back-from-dormancy: status RESUMED, narrowed to verified builders native to the chain (status=RESUMED gives every resumed project). utility, memes: by kind. shipping-in-silence: eligible under the Under the Radar rule AND below the 40th market-attention percentile. accelerating: more meaningful events in 30 days than in the 30 before. builder-radar: the Builder Radar, ranked by verified development, on-chain use and research, never price. shipping-in-silence and accelerating take no other argument (at most 100 rows); builder-radar takes query, radar, limit and offset. Not a ranking by price: a market sort is context, and rows without the figure follow in activity order.

- 2026-10-16 `get_token_market` changed (description)
  - before: Does this token still trade? Context beside the building, from HEY's daily index: current reading (valuation kind, provider), price, liquidity, volume and trades by day, lifecycle (deploy, launchpad claim, stage, first trade), pools and depth, supply concentration (shares only, no addresses), contract checks. include=["moves"] adds each day-on-day valuation move with the building events published before it — a sequence, never a cause. Not price advice.

Not price advice.
- 2026-10-16 `get_changes` changed (description)
  - before: What changed on Robinhood Chain today or this week, or for one project or contract? The change ledger: releases, ships, status moves, contract deploys and upgrades, verification, sources, unlocks — one event per change with its own time and precision, when HEY first knew, and its evidence. Newest first; for today pass detectedSince; to follow, pass after=c1.0 and keep each cursor. A retraction means HEY no longer makes that claim. Facts, never causes.

- 2026-10-16 `get_project_snapshot` changed (description)
  - before: Where does this Robinhood Chain project stand? One read by slug — the Research Summary, identity, activity status and Build Momentum, last ships, market context with its kind or why it is withheld, on-chain use, 7-day usage (distinct caller addresses, not people), verification, HoodLock locks, latest changes, freshness and what HEY does not know. Context blocks, never building: paid promotion (presence and dates), DefiLlama protocol economics (measured, not tracked or unread), developer footprint. Not price advice.

- 2026-10-12 `market_integrity` changed (description)
  - before: For one project: what happened to its tracked token market — liquidity against the level it held, trading, a pool migration — beside its builder activity, and where the two disagree. It describes the token market, never whether development stopped, and never calls a project a rug or safe.

- 2026-10-12 `ask_hey` changed (description)
  - before: A free-text question about one project (English or Malay). HEY matches it to the parts of its record it is about and answers only from that record, every line tagged FACT, DERIVED or UNKNOWN with its source. It records building only and offers no view on price.
  - after: Asking something else about one project? Put it in free text, by slug, in English or Malay ("did they ship this month?"). HEY answers only from its record, every line tagged FACT, DERIVED or UNKNOWN with its source. Building only; no view on price.

## Tools (14)

- `ask_hey`: Asking something else about one project? Put it in free text, by slug, in English or Malay ("did they ship this month?"). HEY answers only from its record, every line tagged FACT, DERIVED or UNKNOWN with its source. Building only; no view on price.
- `chain_overview`: How active is Robinhood Chain? view: days (default; ships and builders per day, then market context), this-week, weekly-report (an ISO week, or the latest), unlocks (scheduled HoodLock unlocks with proof), build-market (Build Momentum beside market attention). days names no one; other views name projects.
- `explain_fact`: Why does HEY say a project is Shipping, Dormant or Still Building, or show a figure? The value, FACT, DERIVED or UNKNOWN, the rule and version, the winning source, the inputs, the lineage and the evidence ids. Omit fact to list what can be explained; source.counted takes a source id. build.change explains one change (event=<ledger id>, or the latest): its stage, who reported it, any exact release↔deployment link, what HEY does not know.
- `find_projects`: Which Robinhood Chain project is this name, $TICKER or 0x contract? Identity only (name, ticker, contract, slug), at most eight rows; give the slug to research_answer. A full 0x address answers whether anyone is building that contract: activity status, ship records in 30 days, the last ship with its source, whether the project names it.
- `get_changes`: What changed on Robinhood Chain today or this week, or for one project or contract? The change ledger without market readings: releases, ships, status moves, contract deploys and upgrades, verification, sources, unlocks — one event per change with its own time and precision, when HEY first knew, and its evidence. Newest first by first arrival; for today pass detectedSince; to sync, pass after=c1.0 and keep each cursor. A retraction means HEY no longer makes that claim. Facts, never causes.
- `get_contract`: Who made this Robinhood Chain contract, and is it a known project's? Project, creation, deployer (the only account named, with a count of other tracked projects' tokens it deployed), verified source and whose code it is (template, bytecode match or its own), Sourcify's answer, proxy and implementation history, interface changes, 7 days of calls per method (counts, names withheld; a selector's signature candidate — a guess, never a name). Address (chainId default 4663) or slug for all of a project's. An unread proxy is "not read", never "not a proxy". Not a safety verdict.
- `get_evidence`: What backs this claim? Open the record a HEY answer cited by its typed id — ship:, signal:, abi:, impl:, lock:, source:, claim:, state:, narrative:, method:, sourcechange:, security:, v4hook:, v4pool:, ponsgrad: — as a receipt: what it claims, its source URL, when it happened at what precision, when HEY knew, how it is backed. A withdrawn record says so.
- `get_project_snapshot`: Where does this Robinhood Chain project stand? One read by slug — the Research Summary, identity, activity status and Build Momentum, last ships, market context with its kind or why it is withheld, on-chain use, 7-day usage (calls; caller addresses per day, not people), verification, HoodLock locks, latest changes with evidence ids, freshness and what HEY does not know. Context blocks, never building: paid promotion (presence and dates), DefiLlama protocol economics (measured, not tracked or unread), developer footprint. Not price advice.
- `get_project_timeline`: What did this project ship, and when? Builds, releases, code, contract deploys, upgrades and interface changes, token verification, locks and unlocks, each with how precisely HEY knows its time. Lenses: build (default), code, onchain, locks. Paged with the before cursor.
- `get_token_market`: Does this token still trade? Context beside the building, from HEY's daily index: current reading (valuation kind, provider), price, liquidity, volume and trades by day, lifecycle (deploy, launchpad claim, stage, first trade, launch graduation, permanent lock), pools and depth, supply concentration (shares only, no addresses), contract checks. include=["moves"] adds each day-on-day valuation move with the building events published before it — a sequence, never a cause. Not price advice.
- `get_v4_hook`: Who built this Robinhood Chain Uniswap v4 hook? The project HEY ties it to and why (named only while listed; never a creator account), declared callbacks (not a safety verdict), source, hooklist entry, pools by week and unknowns.
- `market_integrity`: What happened to this project's tracked token market — liquidity against the level it held, trading, a pool migration — beside its builder activity, and where do the two disagree? It describes the token market, never whether development stopped, and never calls a project a rug or safe.
- `project_diff`: What changed for this project between two dates (YYYY-MM-DD, at most 400 days apart)? Releases and meaningful ships, status, Build Momentum, valuation and liquidity then and now, and the changes recorded — each from the nearest persisted point with its date and basis. Never a cause.
- `research_answer`: Is this Robinhood Chain project still being built, what did it ship, what changed, is this contract its own? One cited answer. capability: research_project or builder_status (q: a name or $TICKER, or address, or project: a slug; a shared name lists candidates); what_changed (project or chain, 1–30 days); verify_project (address, project?); compare_builders (2–4, no winner); unknowns (every coverage state). Claims FACT/DERIVED/UNKNOWN with evidence ids. Not price advice or a safety verdict.
