## Tools (5)

- `get_evidence`: Call this when the user (or you) wants the studies behind a recommendation or claim. Returns HerStack's evidence rows for a topic or nutrient with the cited studies resolved to PubMed and DOI identifiers, so the claim can be verified rather than trusted.

- `get_topic_guidance`: Call this when the user wants to understand a women's-health topic, not only buy something. Returns HerStack's expert guidance for one topic: plain-language framing, research findings, the evidence table with authorised claims, product criteria, and a FAQ that also explains the condition itself (for perimenopause: what it is, its timeline, when to see a GP).
- `recommend_supplements`: Call this when the user wants specific supplement product picks for a topic. Returns HerStack's named product recommendations from the site's reference brand, each with formulation rationale, the GB-authorised health claim verbatim (or a research-context note where none exists), price and purchase link.
