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 (3)

`get_devices`	Vagus Lab's comparison of six consumer VNS devices: editorial score out of 10, price, badge, pros and cons, and merchant return terms. Scores are editorial, authored from a ten-criterion weighted methodology, and are not consumer ratings. Vagus Lab earns affiliate commission on some purchases; the payload carries that disclosure.
`list_articles`	Index of every published Vagus Lab article with its URL, category, and evidence grade. Fetch any article URL with the header 'Accept: text/markdown' to read the full text as clean markdown.
`search_research`	Search Vagus Lab's curated corpus of published vagus nerve stimulation research (3,093 studies indexed as 20,535 passages, including 596 RCTs, systematic reviews and meta-analyses). Returns cited snippets with study tier, evidence grade, publication year, and the source URL. Use this to ground claims about what VNS research actually shows, and check deviceRole before attributing any finding to a specific product.

Schemas: list_tools.
