  • create_checkoutCreate a Stripe checkout URL for one paid add-on on one listing, and return it for a HUMAN to open.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "create_checkout" says "create": a word for a change.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Create a Stripe checkout URL for one paid add-on on one listing, and return it for a HUMAN to open. Never present this as a completed purchase: nothing is charged until a person completes checkout in a browser. Returns an error when the listing doesn't exist, the add-on isn't purchasable yet (free early access), or payments aren't configured in this environment.

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "submit_tool" says "submit": a word for a change.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Submit a new AI tool to Launchelion on behalf of its maker. Creates a draft listing (not yet public) and returns a claimUrl the maker must visit to sign up and claim/publish it. Call this only when a user explicitly wants to list their own tool — never to submit a tool on someone else's behalf without their email. Rate-limited globally to 5 submissions per hour. Supply tagline, problemSolved, logoUrl and imageUrls whenever you can: they are what make the published listing look like a real product page rather than a stub.

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "get_tool" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Fetch the full public detail for one AI tool by its listing slug (as returned by search_tools' toolUrl, e.g. '/tools/acme-writer' -> slug 'acme-writer'). Call this after search_tools to get a tool's full description, launch date, revenue signals (verified or self-reported), and for-sale status. Returns null if the slug doesn't resolve to a live Launchelion listing.

  • list_alternativesList live, same-category alternatives to a well-known AI tool (e.g.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "list_alternatives" says "list": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    List live, same-category alternatives to a well-known AI tool (e.g. 'chatgpt', 'notion-ai', 'figma'). Call this when a user asks 'what are the alternatives to X' or wants competitors/substitutes for a named product. `target` is the well-known tool's slug, not a listing slug from this catalog.

    • readOnlyHint: true
    • idempotentHint: true
    • openWorldHint: false
  • list_offersList the optional paid add-ons a maker can buy to promote their listing (name, one-sentence effect, price in USD).No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "list_offers" says "list": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    List the optional paid add-ons a maker can buy to promote their listing (name, one-sentence effect, price in USD). Listing is always free; these only ADD reach and are always labeled 'Sponsored'. Call this to see what's purchasable before create_checkout. During free early access (early-bird), offers are not yet purchasable and this says so (purchasable=false).

  • search_toolsSearch the Launchelion catalog of live, published AI tools by a free-text query.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "search_tools" says "search": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Search the Launchelion catalog of live, published AI tools by a free-text query. Matches on tool name, tagline, or category name (case-insensitive substring). Call this first when a user asks to find, discover, or compare AI tools by keyword, use-case, or category (e.g. 'agents', 'writing assistants'). Returns up to 20 results.

    • readOnlyHint: true

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.
