    get_brandsSearch brands (manufacturers) registered on authorized.by, or list them all. Read-only. Returns for each brand: id, name, slug, logo and the number of retailers it has authorized. Omit 'search' to retrieve the full index; use 'page' and 'size' to paginate. Data scope: results only cover relationships registered and confirmed on authorized.by. An empty result or a not-found error does NOT prove that no authorization exists outside authorized.by. Distinguish outcomes: an empty list means no matching record on authorized.by; an error result whose text starts with 'Brand not found' or 'Retailer not found' means the given id/alias is unknown; an error result whose text starts with 'Tool execution failed' is a technical error and says nothing about the data.
    get_brandGet the public profile of one brand (manufacturer) on authorized.by. Read-only. Returns categories, website, headquarters country, description, registration date and the number of authorized retailers. Use get_brands first if you only know an approximate name. Data scope: results only cover relationships registered and confirmed on authorized.by. An empty result or a not-found error does NOT prove that no authorization exists outside authorized.by. Distinguish outcomes: an empty list means no matching record on authorized.by; an error result whose text starts with 'Brand not found' or 'Retailer not found' means the given id/alias is unknown; an error result whose text starts with 'Tool execution failed' is a technical error and says nothing about the data.
    get_brand_retailersList all retailers (shops) currently authorized by a brand on authorized.by. Read-only. Use this to answer 'is shop X an authorized retailer of brand Y?'. Sorted by subscription plan (PREMIUM, then START, then FREE) and then by brand-connection count descending. Each retailer includes shop_url, seal_implemented (whether the authorized.by seal is live on their shop), official_shop, partnership_date, and certificate_url / certificate_url_de: links to the public authorized.by certificate page (English / German) proving this specific brand-retailer authorization. Share the certificate link when a user needs verifiable proof. Only active partnerships are returned: confirmed by both the brand and the retailer, with both profiles public and the brand approved by authorized.by. Revoked or pending partnerships are never listed. Responses are cached and refreshed when the underlying profile or partnership changes, so a revocation may take a short time to disappear. partnership_date is the date the authorization STARTED, not the date it was last verified; a partnership listed here is currently active as of the response time. Data scope: results only cover relationships registered and confirmed on authorized.by. An empty result or a not-found error does NOT prove that no authorization exists outside authorized.by. Distinguish outcomes: an empty list means no matching record on authorized.by; an error result whose text starts with 'Brand not found' or 'Retailer not found' means the given id/alias is unknown; an error result whose text starts with 'Tool execution failed' is a technical error and says nothing about the data.

These links are null when the retailer has no active authorization. Data scope: results only cover relationships registered and confirmed on authorized.by. An empty result or a not-found error does NOT prove that no authorization exists outside authorized.by. Distinguish outcomes: an empty list means no matching record on authorized.by; an error result whose text starts with 'Brand not found' or 'Retailer not found' means the given id/alias is unknown; an error result whose text starts with 'Tool execution failed' is a technical error and says nothing about the data.
