Release intelligence for AI coding tools: releases, typed changes, breaking changes, cadence.
Scored across 15 tools
The active tools (cadence_stats, compare_tools, get_release, get_upgrade_notes, whats_changed_since, etc.) are mostly distinct, but five deprecated tools duplicate their successors (feature_timeline/feature_adoption, latest_releases/get_latest_releases, list_tracked_tools/list_tools, release_history/get_latest_releases, search_release_notes/search_changes). The 'Deprecated: use X' notes mitigate this, but an agent must read descriptions carefully to avoid picking the stale twin. Overlap between get_breaking_changes, whats_changed_since, and get_latest_releases also requires attention.
All names are snake_case, which helps, but verb conventions are mixed: bare-noun (cadence_stats, feature_adoption), get_ prefixed (get_release, get_latest_releases), list_, search_, and compare_. Readable but not a predictable verb_noun pattern throughout.
15 tools is at the upper edge of a reasonable set, and 5 of them are deprecated aliases, so the effective surface is ~10. The deprecated entries inflate the count without adding capability, making the set feel heavier than its scope requires.
Coverage is strong for release intelligence: catalog listing, per-release detail, cadence stats, breaking changes, upgrade paths, feature adoption, cross-tool comparison, search, and digests. Minor gap: no dedicated get_tool detail endpoint (must rely on list_tools with a fuzzy query) and no explicit tool-metadata retrieval beyond listing.
How fast tools ship: release counts over 7/30/90 days, average days between releases, and last release — for selected tools or all of them. Legacy input tool (single id) still works.
Inputs: tool, tools. Returns: object, omitted, cadences, truncated, +4 more
Compare 2–4 AI coding tools: release cadence, feature-matrix differences, recent changes, and Havoptic's editorial verdict per pair. aspects defaults to cadence, features, verdict. Legacy inputs tool_a/tool_b still work.
Inputs: since, tools, tool_a, tool_b, +1 more. Returns: tools, object, aspects, cadence, +6 more
Who shipped a cross-tool feature first (MCP support, subagents, planning mode, hooks, checkpoints, …), which tools followed and their lag in days. Successor to feature_timeline.
Inputs: feature (required). Returns: object, omitted, features, available, +5 more
Deprecated: use feature_adoption. Which tool shipped each notable cross-tool feature first (MCP support, subagents, planning mode, hooks, checkpoints, ...), follower lag in days, and copying-trend insights. Optionally filter to one feature.
Inputs: feature.
Breaking changes (and, by default, deprecations) across tools in a window (default last 30 days), newest first. Legacy releases without typed changes are counted, not guessed.
Inputs: since, tools, include_deprecations. Returns: items, since, object, omitted, +5 more
Newest releases (newest first) across all or selected tools. Successor to latest_releases and release_history (pass since/until for a date window). Default channel=stable, detail=brief.
Inputs: limit, since, tools, until, +4 more. Returns: total, object, omitted, releases, +5 more
One release by id (e.g. 'claude-code-2.1.183', canonical 'claude-code@2.1.183') or by tool + version ('latest' allowed). detail=full (the default for a bare id lookup, as before) includes complete release notes; brief/standard omit them unless include_raw_notes is true.
Inputs: id, tool, detail, version, +1 more. Returns: object, omitted, release, truncated, +4 more
Everything between two versions of one tool: breaking changes, deprecations, security fixes, features and fixes, plus an explicit coverage gap for legacy releases without typed changes. to_version defaults to latest.
Inputs: tool (required), from_version (required), detail, to_version. Returns: to, from, object, omitted, +7 more
Deprecated: use get_latest_releases. Most recent AI coding tool releases (newest first), optionally filtered to one tool. Returns summaries; use get_release for full notes. Default detail=brief omits infographic URLs.
Inputs: tool, limit, detail.
Catalog of the products Havoptic tracks (AI coding tools plus model/API platforms, agent SDKs and inference runtimes): id, name, vendor, category, release count and latest release. Use first to find valid tool ids (fuzzy query: 'copilot', 'devin').
Inputs: query, vendor, category. Returns: tools, object, omitted, truncated, +5 more
Deprecated: use list_tools. All AI coding tools Havoptic tracks (Claude Code, OpenAI Codex CLI, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Kiro CLI, GitHub Copilot CLI, Devin Desktop/Windsurf, Antigravity CLI, Grok Build), with release counts and their latest release.
Inputs: no named parameters.
Deprecated: use get_latest_releases with since. Release history for one tool within an optional date window (newest first). Summaries only; use get_release for full notes. Default detail=brief omits infographic URLs.
Inputs: tool (required), limit, since, until, +1 more.
Search typed change items (title + evidence) and, unless kinds is set, legacy release notes — flags, error strings, feature names, config keys. Successor to search_release_notes. Brief mode returns snippets only.
Inputs: query (required), kinds, limit, since, +2 more. Returns: items, query, object, omitted, +6 more
Deprecated: use search_changes. Full-text search across all tracked release notes — flags, error strings, feature names, config keys. Returns ranked matches with snippet context.
Inputs: query (required), tool, limit.
Digest of typed changes (breaking, security, features, fixes, …) since a date or relative window ('7d', '30d'), grouped by tool with breaking changes first. States how many releases in range are legacy records without typed changes.
Inputs: since (required), kinds, tools, cursor, +2 more. Returns: items, since, object, omitted, +5 more
