## Tools (6)

- `eol_latest_release`: What is the latest version of a product right now? Returns the newest release cycle, its latest patch version and date, release date, support status and end-of-life date. Live data avoids out-of-date answers about "the latest Python/Node/PostgreSQL". Source: endoflife.date (community-maintained, typically refreshed daily); preview or beta releases are not included. (cost: 1 credit)
- `eol_products_by_category`: List the products endoflife.date tracks in one category: operating systems, databases, programming languages, frameworks, server applications, cloud services, applications, devices or standards. Returns each product slug, name, aliases and tags so you can then look up release dates. Source: endoflife.date; coverage is about 490 products and is not a full software inventory. (cost: 1 credit)
- `eol_products_by_vendor_tag`: List the products endoflife.date tracks under one tag, usually a vendor (microsoft, amazon, google, oracle, red-hat), a family (linux-distribution) or a runtime (php-runtime, javascript-runtime). Answers "which Microsoft products have end-of-life dates" before you look up each one. Source: endoflife.date; tags are the project's own grouping (see eol_tags) and a vendor's list may be incomplete. (cost: 1 credit)
- `eol_product_search`: Find the endoflife.date product slug for an everyday name or alias ("postgres", "k8s", "node", "windows server") and check whether a product is tracked at all. Matches names, labels and aliases and returns the best matches first. Use it before the other end-of-life tools. Source: endoflife.date product list (about 490 products); untracked software returns no match. (cost: 1 credit)
- `eol_tags`: List every tag endoflife.date uses to group products: vendors (microsoft, amazon, google), families (linux-distribution) and runtimes (php-runtime, java-runtime). Use it to find a valid tag for eol_products_by_vendor_tag. Source: endoflife.date; tags are the project's own grouping, not an official vendor list. (cost: 1 credit)
- `eol_unsupported_releases`: Which versions of a product are already end of life? Lists the release cycles past their end-of-life date, newest first, with the end-of-life date, the last patch version and whether extended (often paid) support is still available. Useful for security audits and spotting outdated versions in an estate. Source: endoflife.date (community-maintained); it reports published dates, not whether a given install is patched.
