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

    get_competitive_profileUse when the user asks who competes with a company, what a competitor recently did, or for a competitive overview of a domain. Input a company domain or name and get a privacy-safe profile: firmographics, recent strategic moves (the existence of a shift + a was→now summary, with the real analysis date), and links to published reports/comparisons. Returns { covered: false } for companies IndustryLens doesn't publicly track.
    list_competitor_movesRecent tracked strategic moves for one competitor, newest-first — the existence of each shift plus a was→now summary and the real analysis date (never a fabricated date). Returns { covered: false } for companies IndustryLens doesn't publicly track, and an empty list for covered companies with no moves detected yet.
    find_competitorsGiven a company domain or name, return the other companies IndustryLens tracks in the same market. Returns { covered: false } for companies not publicly tracked.
    list_reportsBrowse published competitive-intelligence reports. Filter by industry or target_role; results are ordered newest-first. Each returned item has a slug usable with get_report. URLs follow https://industry-lens.com/reports/<slug>.
    get_reportFetch the full body of a published report by slug. Returns the report's structured fields plus content_html (the canonical body). pdf_url is currently empty for every report (PDF generation is disabled pipeline-side); do not construct or suggest a .pdf URL — there is no such route. Point users to the report's web URL, or to the site's gated PDF-download form if one exists.
    list_comparisonsBrowse published competitor-vs-competitor breakdowns. Optionally filter by a competitor name (matches either side). Each item has a slug usable with get_comparison. URLs follow https://industry-lens.com/compare/<slug>.
    get_comparisonFetch the full structured body of a published competitor comparison by slug. Returns content_json (the structured breakdown: pricing, recent moves, positioning, displacement signals, when-to-choose, etc.) plus metadata.
    subscribe_to_newsletterSign the user up for IndustryLens's weekly intelligence-report newsletter. Use this only after the user explicitly asks to subscribe — never subscribe an email without their direct, informed consent. The source argument is recorded for attribution and defaults to 'mcp'.
    get_competitor_moves_diffThe dated CHANGE-FEED for one competitor: every real was→now strategic shift IndustryLens detected, newest-first, each stamped with its real analysis date (never a fabricated date). Use when the user asks what changed, what's new, or wants a timeline of a competitor's moves — optionally since a given date. Input a domain or name. Returns { covered: false } with a CTA for companies not publicly tracked.
    get_pricing_changesStructured pricing/packaging changes IndustryLens has detected — each with a change_type, severity, materiality score, a plain-language summary, and the real detection date. Pass a `competitor` (name or domain) to scope to one company, or omit it for a recent pricing feed. The feed spans the markets IndustryLens publicly tracks. No other public source exposes structured competitor pricing-diffs like this.
    list_marketsList the B2B SaaS markets (categories) IndustryLens monitors. Each item has a `slug` usable with get_market_landscape for the full category map. Ordered by name.
    get_market_landscapeGiven a market (a vertical slug or name), return the published category overview plus every player IndustryLens tracks in that market — the whole-CATEGORY map, not a self-selected competitor set. Returns the hub (title, abstract, tldr, hero_stats, url), the deduped list of players (name, domain, business_model), and `market_news` — the latest weekly market summary (narrative, top topics, new entrants, topic momentum, source URLs). Returns { covered: false } for markets IndustryLens doesn't publicly track. Use list_markets to discover slugs.
