Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| thumbtack_search_prosA | Search Thumbtack for local service pros by trade and US ZIP code. Returns up to 10 ranked pros with rating, review count, lifetime hires, mean response time and profile URL. Anonymous — no account needed. |
| thumbtack_resolve_serviceA | Resolve a loose service name to the canonical Thumbtack slug by asking Thumbtack (it canonicalises via redirect, e.g. "plumbing" -> "plumbers"). Use before assuming a slug is right. |
| thumbtack_get_proA | Read a Thumbtack pro's profile: name, description, location, aggregate rating, plus credentials (background check, licences) and the section inventory. Takes a profile URL from thumbtack_search_pros. |
| thumbtack_get_pro_reviewsA | Read the reviews embedded on a Thumbtack pro's profile page (star rating, author, date, text). Takes a profile URL from thumbtack_search_pros. |
| thumbtack_graphqlA | Escape hatch: issue an arbitrary read-only query against Thumbtack's anonymous GraphQL endpoint. Introspection is disabled upstream, so field names must come from a page's Apollo state. Mutations are refused. |
| thumbtack_healthcheckA | Check that Thumbtack's anonymous surface is reachable and still has the response shape this server expects. Reports the server version, the HTML page probe and the GraphQL probe separately. |

Scored across 6 tools
Each tool serves a distinct purpose: resolving slugs, searching pros, reading profiles, reading reviews, an explicit GraphQL escape hatch, and health checking. There is no meaningful overlap or ambiguity between them.
All tools share a uniform thumbtack_ snake_case prefix and mostly follow a verb_noun pattern such as resolve_service, search_pros, get_pro, and get_pro_reviews. Minor deviations like thumbtack_healthcheck and thumbtack_graphql are still clear and predictable.
Six tools is a well-scoped size for a focused Thumbtack read-only server. Each tool covers a distinct step in the workflow without redundancy or bloat.
The core journey—resolve a service name, search pros by ZIP, view a pro's profile, and read their reviews—is fully supported. The GraphQL escape hatch and healthcheck cover edge cases and operational verification, leaving no obvious dead ends.
