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 (6)

`alternatives`read-only	Curated alternatives to a library, each with a one-line "prefer it when" and a verdict if the alternative is also indexed.
`audit_dependencies`read-only	Audit a project's dependencies for unmaintained packages, unstable APIs, and documented reasons to switch. Pass the contents of package.json, requirements.txt, or pyproject.toml. Returns only the dependencies worth a decision, not a report on every line. Run this before working in an unfamiliar codebase.
`docs_link`read-only	Official docs URL and GitHub repo for a library, one line each. Use when the clamped answers are not enough.
`how_do_i`read-only	Return the 1-2 best code snippets for a task with a library, plus the gotcha for each. Snippets are correct for the indexed version. Far cheaper in tokens than a docs dump.
`pick_library`read-only	Given a coding task, recommend 1-3 libraries from the should-i-use index with one-line reasoning and an honest warning about the top pick. Use before installing anything.
`should_i_use`read-only	Honest verdict on a specific library: 4-axis scores with reasons, when to skip it, and maintenance signals (last push, weekly downloads).

Schemas: list_tools.
