    discover_suppliersFinds suppliers and manufacturers for a product or category and ranks them by fit with the request. Use it when someone needs suppliers for something, from a specific part to a broad category. It searches everything Mati Logistics holds (US customs records, supplier catalogues, industry directories and registers, company websites) and scores each candidate against the request. Returns the ranked list, often dozens of companies, each with a 0-100 fit score, a one-line reason, its role (manufacturer, packer_brand, distributor), country, shipment and catalogue counts, and the url of its page; plus how many companies were searched. Only `search_for` is needed: a sentence saying what kind of suppliers are wanted. `phrases` and `hs_headings` are optional search terms; when left out they are written from `search_for`, and the result shows the terms used under `search_terms`. Read-only, no side effects. Takes 10-20 seconds. Spends about one credit of a connected account; without an account, one free search a day per network address.
    get_supplierReturns one supplier's public profile on Mati Logistics. Use it to look closer at a supplier from discover_suppliers. Returns its overview, highlights, products, customers, capabilities, certifications, shipment count, similar suppliers and the url of its page; fields the page shows only to signed-in readers are left out and counted as `locked`. Contact details are never included; the page and its `rfq_url` are how to reach the supplier. Read-only, no side effects, free.
    get_usageReturns how much supplier search this connection has left and how to get more. Use it before a search, or after one is refused. Without an account: the free searches left today and when they reset. With a connected account: the credits left and about how many searches they cover. Takes no arguments. Read-only, no side effects, free.
    get_coverageReturns what the Mati Logistics supplier database covers: a summary (total suppliers and industries), then the kinds of data held on a supplier (company facts, products, capabilities, certifications, customers, people, contact fields) as a list of fields, then each industry with its supplier count, main countries, number of sub-industries with a sample, and a link. Use it to judge whether a search here suits a request, and for phrases to search with. Takes no arguments. Read-only, no side effects, free.
