Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| perplexity_askB | 对齐官方 Perplexity MCP：输入 query 字符串并返回回答文本。请避免频繁调用；尽量将多个子问题合并到一次 query / 一次 perplexity_search 中查清楚。 |
| perplexity_researchA | 对齐官方 Perplexity MCP：深度研究（重型调用，耗时更长；仅在必要时使用，优先 ask/search）。请避免频繁调用；尽量将多个子问题合并到一次 query / 一次 perplexity_search 中查清楚。 |
| perplexity_reasonC | 对齐官方 Perplexity MCP：推理（默认 reasoning）。请避免频繁调用；尽量将多个子问题合并到一次 query / 一次 perplexity_search 中查清楚。 |
| perplexity_searchB | 对齐官方 Perplexity MCP：搜索（当前实现返回回答文本，结构化字段尽量附带）。请避免频繁调用；尽量将多个子问题合并到一次 query / 一次 perplexity_search 中查清楚。 |

Scored across 4 tools
All four tools take a query and return answer text, with nearly identical boilerplate warnings about avoiding frequent calls. The boundaries between perplexity_ask and perplexity_search are especially unclear since search also returns answer text, and only perplexity_research (heavy) and perplexity_reason (reasoning) are somewhat distinct.
Every tool follows the exact same perplexity_<action> snake_case pattern with no deviations. The naming is fully predictable and consistent.
Four tools align with the four Perplexity modes (ask, search, reason, research), which is a well-scoped set for a wrapper. No obvious missing or redundant tools based on the stated purpose.
The surface covers the main query modes, but perplexity_search returns answer text rather than fully structured search results, and there is no explicit conversational/session tool. These are minor gaps that agents can likely work around.
