Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| discover_apisA | Search for APIs by what you need. Returns ranked matches with pricing and setup data when available. For an opinionated pick with working code, use the recommend tool instead. Examples: 'send transactional emails', 'process payments', 'image generation'. |
| get_api_detailsA | Get full details for a specific API by its slug. Returns scores, pricing, auth method, capabilities, and quality breakdown. |
| get_api_docsA | Get agent-friendly documentation for an API, including quickstart guide and documented endpoints. Use this before integrating an API. |
| compare_apisA | Compare two or more APIs side by side. Returns a comparison table with scores, pricing, auth, and capabilities. |
| browse_categoriesA | List all API categories in the CLIRank directory with the number of APIs in each. |
| get_reviewsB | Get integration reports and reviews for an API. Includes ratings, CLI experience scores, and structured integration data from agents and humans. |
| recommendA | Get an opinionated API recommendation for a task. Returns ONE best pick with pricing, working quickstart code, setup time, and a runner-up. Better than guessing - uses verified pricing and setup data that's more current than your training data. |
| get_package_infoA | Get current package version, compatibility, dependencies, and deprecation warnings for any npm or PyPI package. Faster and more current than checking registries manually. Auto-updates every 24h. |

TDQS
Scored across 8 tools
Each tool has a distinct purpose: browsing categories, searching APIs, comparing, getting details, docs, reviews, package info, and recommendations. No overlap or ambiguity.
Most tools follow a verb_noun pattern (e.g., browse_categories, get_api_details), but 'recommend' is a lone verb without a noun, causing minor inconsistency.
8 tools is an ideal scope for an API directory server, covering all essential functionalities without being overwhelming or sparse.
Covers core directory features well (search, compare, details, docs, reviews, recommendations). Missing user contribution tools (e.g., submit reviews) but acceptable for a read-only service.
