    fde_catalogueFREE. List every Forward Deployed Engineering rule, playbook, and checklist phase available from this server — id, title, phase, and tags, with the paid body withheld. Call this first to see what is on offer before paying for anything.
    fde_lessons_previewFREE. Return the foundational Forward Deployed Engineering rules in full, no payment required. Each rule carries the real incident behind it and an implementable agent-behavior constraint.
    fde_lessons_fullPAID. Return the full Forward Deployed Engineering ruleset, or the subset matching a topic. Requires a machine payment (MPP over Stripe). If unpaid, returns the exact payment challenge and the URL to retry against.
    fde_playbookPAID. Return situational runbooks with ordered, checkable steps — DNS migration and static-site change. Use before executing that class of operation, not after it fails.
    fde_preship_checklistPAID. Return the pre-ship checklist: every gate to clear before shipping, each with the concrete failure it prevents. Designed to be called before every deploy.
    warn_feed_previewFREE. Coverage, per-state counts, freshness, and real (aged) sample rows from the WARN layoff filings feed — official state sources, one normalized schema. Call this to see exactly what the paid feed returns before paying.
    warn_feed_currentPAID. Current WARN Act layoff filings (company, location, notice date, effective date, workforce affected, official source URL), newest first. A company that just filed a mass-layoff notice is re-evaluating its vendor stack inside ~90 days — this is the 'why now' signal for prospecting agents. Requires a machine payment (MPP over Stripe). If unpaid, returns the exact payment challenge and the URL to retry against.
