Server instructions

The AI Tools Index is a catalog of AI tools, filed by category. Typical order: search_tools to find candidates by keyword, use-case or category -> get_tool for one listing's full detail -> list_alternatives when the user wants substitutes for a named product. Slugs: every tool is addressed by its listing slug. Take it from a search_tools result's toolUrl ("/tools/<slug>" -> "<slug>"); do not invent one. Data honesty: revenue is labeled verified (Stripe-connected) or self-reported, and the two are not interchangeable. A listing goes live only after badge verification. Paid placements are always labeled and never change a link's rel. There are no ratings or review scores here, so do not report any. submit_tool creates a DRAFT that a human must claim by email before it can publish. create_checkout returns a URL a HUMAN must open — never attempt payment yourself.
