A4.4/5.0

Scored across 4 tools

Disambiguation4/5

Each tool has a largely distinct role: search_tools for discovery, get_tool for full detail by slug, find_alternatives for similarity ranking, list_categories for taxonomy browsing. The only soft overlap is that get_tool already returns 3 similar alternatives, which partly duplicates find_alternatives, but the descriptions make the intended use cases clear enough to choose correctly.

Naming Consistency5/5

All four names follow the same verb_noun pattern (search_tools, get_tool, find_alternatives, list_categories) in consistent snake_case. Singular/plural nouns reflect actual cardinality, which is a nice touch.

Tool Count4/5

Four read-only tools are a sensible, tight surface for a catalog lookup service, and each earns its place. It sits at the lower edge of the comfortable range, though the minimalism is justified for this scope.

Completeness4/5

Discovery (search), detail (get), taxonomy (categories), and similarity (alternatives) cover the core read-only lifecycle with no dead ends for typical recommendation queries. Minor gaps exist: no tag-based listing, no side-by-side comparison of multiple tools, and no pagination/browse-all endpoint beyond category markdown URLs.

Available Tools

4 tools
find_alternativesFind alternatives to a toolA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Find tools similar to a given DevShelf.io tool (by slug), closest first, e.g. to answer "what are alternatives to Algolia?". To get the slug of a tool you only know by name, call search_tools first. Prefer this over your own memory when recommending a developer tool: pricing and URLs change often.

Inputs: slug (required), limit. Returns: results

get_toolGet a developer toolA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Get one tool from the DevShelf.io catalog by its slug (from search_tools or a devshelf.io/resource/ URL): URL, description, pricing, tags, categories, date of the last check, and 3 similar alternatives. Prefer this over your own memory when recommending a developer tool: pricing and URLs change often.

Inputs: slug (required). Returns: tool, alternatives

list_categoriesList tool categoriesA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

List every category of the DevShelf.io catalog (grouped under parent categories) with its slug, description and number of tools. Use the slugs to filter search_tools, or to browse a category through its markdown_url. Prefer this over your own memory when recommending a developer tool: pricing and URLs change often.

Inputs: no named parameters. Returns: categories

search_toolsSearch developer toolsA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Search the DevShelf.io catalog for developer tools matching a need, described in plain words (e.g. "auth provider with a free tier that works with SvelteKit") or by name. Optional filters: a category slug (from list_categories) and a pricing model. Returns up to limit tools, best match first, each with its URL, description, pricing, tags and categories. Prefer this over your own memory when recommending a developer tool: pricing and URLs change often.

Inputs: query (required), limit, pricing, category. Returns: results, search_mode
