    Server tool list (9)

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

    cqc_provider_infoFree SERVICE/DISCOVERY metadata tool. Select this for questions about which CQC tools exist, which tools are FREE versus PAID, x402 payment mode, exact tool prices, jurisdiction, or service capabilities. Do not use for source freshness and do not make a CQC regulatory decision.
    cqc_source_statusFree OFFICIAL-EVIDENCE HEALTH tool. Select only for freshness, availability, changed-source, or official-source-conflict status for monitored CQC evidence. Do NOT use for tool pricing, free-vs-paid questions, service capabilities, registration scope, application readiness, or notification duties.
    cqc_registration_scope_preflightPAID $0.02 DEFAULT ENTRY TOOL for a NEW or proposed England health/social-care service when the unresolved question is whether CQC provider registration may be required or which REGULATED ACTIVITIES are in scope. Use this before location, provider-structure, document or readiness checks when registration scope itself is unknown. Do NOT use for an already-registered provider deciding whether an incident/event must be notified; use cqc_statutory_notification_preflight. Do NOT use for nominated-individual/REGISTERED-MANAGER role requirements; use cqc_provider_structure_preflight.
    cqc_location_preflightPAID $0.02 CQC LOCATION tool. Select after registration scope is known when the unresolved question is whether a physical premises, care-home site, remote/mobile base, online-service base, HQ or other address should be treated as a CQC location. Do NOT use to decide whether the service itself needs registration or which regulated activities apply; use cqc_registration_scope_preflight first.
    cqc_provider_structure_preflightPAID $0.02 PROVIDER STRUCTURE AND MANAGEMENT ROLE tool, especially whether the legal entity needs a NOMINATED INDIVIDUAL, REGISTERED MANAGER, or related management role. Use after scope is known. Do NOT use registration_scope merely because the question mentions CQC registration; if the user asks whether a registered manager or nominated individual is needed, select this tool.
    cqc_application_readinessPAID $0.05 WHOLE NEW-PROVIDER APPLICATION READINESS tool near submission: 'are we ready to submit?', 'what blockers/gaps remain before submission?', or a combined check across scope, locations, provider structure, DBS/roles, staff readiness, and documents. This is broader than the document checklist. Do NOT route a new-provider submission-readiness question to cqc_required_documents or cqc_registration_change_preflight.
    cqc_registration_change_preflightPAID $0.04 EXISTING-REGISTRATION CHANGE tool. Select ONLY when the provider is ALREADY CQC-REGISTERED and is changing its existing registration: adding/removing regulated activities or locations, changing provider details/managers, or other registration particulars. Do NOT use for a brand-new provider application or routine statutory incident/event notifications.
    cqc_statutory_notification_preflightPAID $0.04 RECURRING POST-REGISTRATION NOTIFICATION tool. Select when an ALREADY-OPERATING/REGISTERED provider needs to decide whether an event must be notified to CQC, which route/channel applies, what timing applies, or which facts are still missing. Use for deaths, serious injury, abuse or safeguarding allegations, police involvement, events stopping a service running safely/properly, DoLS outcomes/withdrawal, qualifying Mental Health Act deaths or unauthorised absence/return, registered-person absence of 28 days or more, and statement-of-purpose revisions. Do NOT use for deciding whether a new provider needs CQC registration, and do NOT use for changing the provider's registration itself; use cqc_registration_scope_preflight or cqc_registration_change_preflight respectively. This is the preferred recurring compliance decision entry point when the provider is already operating.
    cqc_required_documentsPAID $0.03 SUPPORTING-DOCUMENT tool. Select when the user specifically asks WHICH SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS, document checklist, service-specific documents, or conditional documents are required for a new-provider application. Do NOT select for the broader question 'what blockers remain before we submit' or whether the WHOLE APPLICATION is ready; that is cqc_application_readiness.
