get_use_cases

Instructions

Implementation Reference

• src/content.ts:1004-1010 (registration)

  The 'get_use_cases' tool is registered in the TOOL_DEFS array with its name, description, inputSchema (empty/static), and a reference to the useCases data object.

  {
    name: "get_use_cases",
    description:
      "Get specific use cases, ideal customer profiles, and real-world examples for Echo3s",
    inputSchema: { type: "object", properties: {}, required: [] },
    content: () => useCases,
  },

• src/content.ts:343-421 (handler)

  The actual handler returns the 'useCases' object (defined as a const on line 345), which contains the content returned by the tool. The content() function simply returns this pre-defined object literal.

        example:
          "A 200-page indie romance novel on Amazon KDP — add the audiobook version for $79 (Pro plan). If it sells, you've created a new revenue stream. If not, you've lost less than a dinner out.",
