    Server tool list (10)

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

    scan_review_pain_pointsScan a named business or discover up to three businesses for recent recurring complaints. Returns individually sourced reviews and possible technical solutions. Coverage is sampled; unavailable reviews never mean no problems. Five scans per day. Google reviews require a configured provider.
    research_businessesUse for a quick synchronous search when the user supplies one natural-language brief and can wait for results in the current tool call. For durable progress, retry, export, or large agent workflows, use start_lead_search instead.
    search_businessesUse for a quick synchronous search when target, geography, and qualification fields are already structured. Use research_businesses for a plain-language brief, or start_lead_search for durable asynchronous work.
    sandbox_businessesReturn deterministic fictional businesses without consuming provider capacity. Use this to test schemas, clients, and agent loops.
    start_lead_searchUse for the recommended durable asynchronous workflow. Creates a private queued search job and returns a job id plus jobToken for progress polling, cursor paging, refinement, retry, cancellation, and CSV or JSON export.
    get_lead_searchRead job status or one cursor-paginated result page. Keep jobToken private and pass nextCursor back unchanged.
    refine_lead_searchCreate a new private search job by changing the brief or criteria of a completed job. The original job stays unchanged.
    retry_lead_searchCreate a replacement job when a prior job failed or exceeded its execution window. The original job stays available for audit.
    cancel_lead_searchCancel a queued or running search job. Completed and failed jobs remain immutable.
    explain_crawdarGet result semantics, limits, interface URLs, and safe operating guidance. This tool does not consume a search.
