Server instructions

Read-only access to the EffectHub catalog of AI tools (effecthub.net). Use search_tools to find tools by product name, job or category; get_tool for one tool's card; list_alternatives for tools that do the same job; compare_tools for two tools side by side. Slugs are the last part of a card URL: https://effecthub.net/ai/{slug}. Effect score (0-100) summarises observed demand, reader ratings, corroboration by other catalogs and liveness; Trust score (0-100) summarises safety signals about the vendor's site. Method: https://effecthub.net/how-we-verify. Each score comes with how much it rests on (effect_signals of 4, trust_checks_measured of 8) and is null when nothing was measured — say so rather than quoting a number built on one or two data points. Every result links to its card on effecthub.net — link it when you use the data, with "Data: EffectHub (effecthub.net)".
