Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| search_iconsA | Search The Noun Project for icons. Returns IDs, style, license, thumbnails, tags, and attribution. This is a cheap service call — do NOT follow up with get_icon for every result. Use download_icon only when the user wants a file. Prefer a specific query over pagination (FREE trial: 2,000 service calls/month, 1,000/day). |
| get_iconA | Get extra details for one icon, including a temporary SVG icon_url (expires in 1 hour). This is an expensive icon call (FREE trial: 150/day and 150/month). Skip it when search_icons already has the metadata you need. |
| download_iconA | Download one icon as SVG or PNG (optional color/size; FREE trial is public-domain only). This is an expensive icon call (150/day on the free trial). Use only when the user asked to save or embed the file, not to inspect search results. |
| search_collectionsA | Search Noun Project collections (icon sets). Service call — cheaper than get_icon/download_icon. |
| get_collectionA | Get a collection and a page of its icons. Service call. Prefer this over calling get_icon on each member. |
| icon_autocompleteA | Autocomplete icon search terms (max 10). Cheap service call — use before searching if the query is ambiguous. |
| check_usageA | Show current API usage vs limits for hourly, daily, and monthly windows, split into service calls vs icon calls. Cached for 5 minutes. |

Scored across 7 tools
Each tool targets a distinct operation: search/get/download for icons, search/get for collections, plus autocomplete and usage checking. get_icon and download_icon are the closest pair, but their descriptions clearly separate metadata/temporary URL retrieval from file download.
Most tools follow a clear verb_noun pattern (get_icon, download_icon, search_icons, search_collections, check_usage). The exception is icon_autocomplete, which reverses the expected order and breaks the otherwise consistent naming convention.
Seven tools is a well-scoped size for a niche icon search and download server. Each tool serves a clear purpose with no redundant entries.
The set covers the full read-only icon workflow: autocomplete, search icons, get icon details, download icons, search/get collections, and check API usage. There are no obvious missing operations for the stated domain.
