## Tools (4)

- `check_portfolio`: Check a list of up to 25 vendors (names, domains or both) and get one profile each. Spends one lookup per vendor answered; a name that matches nothing costs nothing.
- `find_vendor`: Find a vendor in the VendorWatch catalogue by its exact name or website domain. Returns up to 5 candidates (slug, name, category). Free: no lookup is spent.
- `get_vendor_profile`: Get one vendor's documentation profile: DPA coverage by law, number of subprocessors, certifications, data locations, transfer safeguards and AI use. Give the slug from find_vendor, or the vendor's name or domain. Spends one lookup.
- `list_vendor_changes_since`: List the vendors in your VendorWatch portfolio whose record changed on or after a date (profile updated, DPA analysed, DPA document changed). Free: no lookup is spent. 50 vendors a page; read the new profile with get_vendor_profile.
