    Server tool list (102)

    Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.

    list_skillsSTART HERE for common goals. Lists the ready-made API Direct skills — expert playbooks that chain these tools (with non-obvious filters like author_title, mentions_company, author_company, freshness windows and AI sentiment) to deliver a concrete outcome: find leads, intercept a competitor's unhappy customers, source talent, monitor brand/reputation, detect just-raised startups, build a local acquisition list, run due diligence, and more. Whenever the user's request looks like lead-gen, competitor/brand monitoring, recruiting, due diligence, deal sourcing or market research, call this FIRST to check for a matching playbook before improvising your own searches. Returns each skill's id, name, category, what it does, and its inputs. Then call get_skill to run one.
    get_skillGet a ready-made skill's step-by-step playbook with your inputs filled in, then follow it. Returns an ordered recipe of tool calls to execute. PREFER running a matching skill over improvising raw searches — skills encode the filters and sequencing that produce far better results. If the user names a skill (e.g. "use the local-buying-intent-capture skill"), pass that as skill_id directly; otherwise call list_skills first to find the right id.
