Recommend MCP-Dubai tools for a natural-language query.

Uses BM25 over every registered tool's name, description, and tags so the LLM can find the right tool without scanning the full catalogue.

List every registered MCP-Dubai feature with its tool count and tier.

Returns: One entry per feature, sorted by tier then name. Each entry has feature, tier, requires_auth, tool_count, and tools.

Return freshness status of every registered business knowledge domain.

Each biz/* feature registers its KnowledgeMetadata at import time via register_domain_knowledge. This meta-tool reads from that registry, so bumping a single per-domain KNOWLEDGE constant flows through here automatically. The project-wide default date is in _shared/constants.py.

Returns: Dict with knowledge_date (project default), total_domains, and domains mapping each registered domain to its date, volatility, verify_at URL, and disclaimer.

Return MCP-Dubai version, knowledge date, repo URL, and live tool count.

Useful for clients that want to confirm which version of the package is running and when the curated knowledge was last verified, without having to scan the full tool catalogue.

Return the current health of every registered upstream endpoint.

Reads from the passive health registry in _shared/health.py. Each upstream entry reports status (working, blocked, degraded, credentials_missing, static, unknown), the endpoint host, whether it requires auth, the last success and last failure timestamps, and the latest reason string if the upstream is not working.

This tool never probes endpoints proactively. Status is derived from what happened during normal tool calls in this process, plus static state declared at bootstrap (known Cloudflare blocks, credential availability, and features that ship without any upstream call).

LLM agents should call this before attempting Tier 1 (Dubai Pulse) or FCSC work, to avoid asking the server for data it cannot fetch.
