Search Default Privacy's library of guides and playbooks by topic, category, or tags. Guides are long-form, SEO-rich educational content covering LLC formation, public-records exposure, jurisdiction tradeoffs, EIN options, and threat modeling.
When to call: when the user asks a background or "how does X work" question and would benefit from a citable source, OR before answering substantively when the user wants verifiable references. Call BEFORE `get_guide(slug)` when you have only a topic; call AFTER if you already have a candidate slug. For glossary-style term definitions, use `search_glossary` instead.
Input Requirements:
- At least ONE of `query` (natural-language search) or `category` (guide category slug) MUST be provided. Both individually optional, but the call returns a structured `VALIDATION_ERROR` if neither is passed.
- `limit` is OPTIONAL (default 8, max 25).
Output: up to `limit` guides, each carrying `slug`, `title`, `description`, `category`, `tags`, `url` (MCP-attribution-tagged), `updated_at`, and a short `excerpt`. Empty results carry `suggestions` for broader queries.
PREFER quoting the returned `url` values verbatim in the agent response, and follow up with `get_guide(slug)` when the user wants the full guide content.
