## Quality 75/100 (good)

### protocol: 75 (weight 25)

## Tools (21)

- `compare_project_prices`: Compare current indexed ETH/WETH lowest asking prices for up to ten chosen projects. Lowest ask is an affordability comparison, not intrinsic value or a return forecast. No trading.
- `discover_apps`: Find curated AB5D capabilities and apps listed on abx.io. Returns browser/app handoffs, not installation or execution.
- `find_acquisition_opportunities`: Rank indexed AB[500] asks by ETH per added percentage point of edition ownership. Excludes linked owner wallets and stops before a 50% asking-price jump. Prices are unverified, gas excluded; each row is a budget alternative, not a basket.
- `get_abx_service_info`: Read the documented ABX public service descriptor. Does not log in, register projects, sign, deploy or create credentials.
- `get_artist_collector_tdh`: Get one artist-specific collector TDH register by AB5D artist slug. Collector rows are paginated because large Raster-indexed oeuvres can contain thousands of current addresses.
- `get_artist_otdh`: Get one artist's oTDH rank, score, collector breadth, raw collector-days, project count, and snapshot metadata by AB5D artist slug.
- `get_artwork`: Look up a minted edition through the existing artwork API. Returns render and indexed public owner with timestamp, not full transfer history.
- `get_bounty`: Get one AB5D bounty task by identifier, including its current status and operational routes. Do not begin work unless the returned status is open.
- `get_collection_holdings`: Read AB5D institutional holdings and public credit lines from the existing cache. Reports pending data honestly.
- `get_donor_credits`: Find published accession and donor credit records. Absence is unknown, never an inferred donor.
- `get_dossier`: Get one artist's full structured biography by slug: subtitle, essay prose (markdown), identity (born/based/practice), works, images, and the verified bibliography with source URLs. Prose is CC0.
- `get_otdh_methodology`: Get the definition, formulas, full-universe coverage, limitations, discussion URL, and snapshot metadata for AB5D's artist-level Oeuvre Total Days Held metric.
- `get_project`: Read one canonical project with links to its published essay, artist dossiers and artwork license.
- `list_artist_collector_tdh`: List all 308 artist-specific collector TDH dashboard records, including each metric label, route, data URL and verified or pending source status.
- `list_artist_otdh`: List the ranked oTDH records for all 308 AB[500] artists, or a limited leading subset. oTDH (out of 1,000) is a price-independent signal of how much of each work's life its current collector has held it, neutral to edition size, project count and release date.
- `list_dossiers`: List every published AB[500] artist dossier (name, slug, subtitle, editions, tier, updated date). Use it to see which artists have a published biography.
- `list_open_bounties`: List every AB5D bounty that is currently open for claim, including reward, eligibility, claim route, submission route, protocol, and acceptance command. Only returned tasks are current offers.
- `prepare_artwork_display`: Prepare a verified artwork or series display URL and existing mobile Cast workflow. Does not connect to a TV or start playback.
- `search_artists`: Search AB[500] artist dossiers by name or keyword; returns matching artists with their slugs. Use before get_dossier when you don't know the exact slug.
- `search_projects`: Find AB[500] artworks and series by title or artist. Returns canonical links and native app handoffs.
- `search_public_collectors`: Search the already-published collector register. No private account access or inferred identity; wallet arrays are omitted.
