Tools (4)

`compare`read-only	Use this when the user wants to compare 2 to 4 specific AI tools side by side: plans, API pricing, usage limits and platforms, each with its own as_of date and source.
`find_free_alternatives`read-only	Use this when the user wants a free or freemium alternative to a specific AI tool. Verified free tiers rank first; catalog-only matches are labeled unverified.
`get_pricing_facts`read-only	Use this when the user asks what one AI tool costs or what its free tier includes. Returns verified pricing facts first; catalog text only when no verified price exists, labeled catalog_only.
`search_tools`read-only	Use this when the user wants to find AI tools for a task, optionally within a budget, skill level or platform. Returns Launchpad HQ catalog matches with dated, sourced free-tier facts where available. Items with fallback: true are popular tools, not direct matches; stale: true means the facts are over 90 days old.
