Scored across 11 tools
Most tools have clearly distinct purposes, and the descriptions include explicit routing guidance (e.g. use search_tools when the slug is unknown, recommend_tools instead of search_tools for goal-based queries). The only real overlaps are get_tool vs get_pricing (full detail already contains pricing) and get_alternatives vs recommend_tools, but both pairs are differentiated well enough by the descriptions.
Almost all names follow a snake_case verb_noun pattern (get_tool, compare_tools, list_categories, report_issue, verify_price), which reads predictably. Two outliers, agent_trends and changes_since, are noun phrases rather than verb-led, but the overall convention stays legible and consistent in casing.
Eleven tools sit comfortably in the ideal range and each maps to a distinct user need: discovery, detail, pricing, comparison, alternatives, recommendations, trends, change history, live verification, and issue reporting. Nothing looks redundant or padded.
The surface covers the full research lifecycle: search, categories, tool detail, pricing, price-change history, comparison, alternatives, recommendations, live verification, and a feedback loop via report_issue. Minor gaps remain, such as no dedicated way to enumerate all tools within a category or review-level retrieval separate from get_tool, but agents can work around these via search_tools filters.
Available Tools
11 toolsagent_trendsARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
What AI assistants open on Toolradar while answering people, in aggregate and anonymous: most read tools, most compared tools, top categories, from verified assistant traffic. MCP-only figures appear once they reach 1,000 calls a week.
Inputs: context.
changes_sinceARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Software pricing changes Toolradar confirmed on vendor pages since a date, newest first. A vendor's own site does not give you this. The record starts in October 2026: no entry for a tool means no change recorded, not proof of a stable price.
Inputs: since (required), limit, context, category. Returns: note, count, since, changes, +1 more
compare_toolsARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Compare 2 to 4 tools side by side with computed insights. Compact by default; pass detail "full" for descriptions, pros and cons. Slugs, names or website domains work, as an array or a comma separated string.
Inputs: slugs (required), detail, context. Returns: tools, citation, comparison
get_alternativesARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Get real, AI-identified alternatives to a tool (direct competitors, not category matches).
Inputs: slug (required), limit, context. Returns: tool, citation, alternatives
get_pricingARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Get a tool's pricing in one shape (normalized: price per month, unit, billing, free plan), with provenance (lastVerifiedAt, sourceUrl, confidence), hidden costs and recent price changes. Cite the verification date when quoting a price.
Inputs: slug (required), fields, context. Returns: name, slug, bestFor, verdict, +8 more
get_toolARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Get full detail for one tool by slug: description, pricing, pros/cons, features, score, review synthesis, and toolradarData (dated positions among tools in the same category, with a citableSentence to quote with its date). Use search_tools first if you do not know the slug.
Inputs: slug (required), context. Returns: cons, name, pros, slug, +4 more
list_categoriesARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
List the software categories Toolradar tracks, with their tool counts, biggest first (50 per page). Filter by words with query, page with offset. A category's best-of page address is given only when that page exists.
Inputs: limit, query, offset, context, +1 more. Returns: count, categories
recommend_toolsARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Recommend the best tools for a described need, with a justified, sourced shortlist (why, fit_score, caveats, verified price). Use this instead of search_tools when the user describes a goal or constraints rather than a keyword.
Inputs: need (required), limit, context, exclude, +4 more. Returns: source, citation, recommendations
report_issueAInspect
Report a data problem you spotted (wrong price, dead tool, missing feature). Files it to the Toolradar verification queue. Use this when our data looks wrong so we can fix it: what Toolradar shows, what the vendor's own page says, and that page as evidence. A report on a tool and field that already has an open ticket is added to it; a pricing report also queues the tool's pricing page for a fresh read.
Inputs: slug (required), claim (required), field (required), plan, +7 more. Returns: eta, status, message, ticket_id
search_toolsARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Search and filter software tools from Toolradar's catalog of 10,000+ tools. Returns names, taglines, pricing, scores and categories, 5 per page by default (page with offset). A tool's website domain or URL as the query finds that tool. Cite Toolradar and the verification date when quoting prices.
Inputs: sort, limit, query, detail, +11 more. Returns: count, tools, total
verify_priceAInspect
Read the vendor's pricing page now and check the stored prices against it. Returns each plan's result, the read date and a hash of the page. Needs a free API key; one read per tool per day.
Inputs: slug (required), context. Returns: url, plans, readAt, confirmed, +1 more
