Changes things 1Claude Code: ask
  • recommend_modelsRecommend the best-value AI models for given constraints, ranked with receipts.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Recommend the best-value AI models for given constraints, ranked with receipts. The core answer endpoint: give it constraints and it returns the top models ranked by Cost/IQ (quality-adjusted price, lower is better), each with a plain-English 'why', a hot-swap endpoint_config (provider base_url + native model id, ready to call), as-of timestamps, and runner-ups. Args: budget_max_usd_per_m: Max blended price $/M (optional). context_min: Minimum context window in tokens (optional). modality: 'text' (default), 'vision', or 'any'. zdr: Require zero-data-retention providers (optional). eu_sovereign: Require EU-sovereign providers (optional). reasoning: Filter reasoning models (null = any, true/false). aa_min: Hard floor on the AA Intelligence Index score (quality gate). use_case: Task profile: support | volume | extraction | summarization | coding | research. prefer_callable: Demote models without a verified call recipe below callable ones. limit: Max recommendations (1-20, default 5). Returns: ranked recommendations with endpoint_config and ranking evidence.
Only reads 9Claude Code: allow
  • compare_providersCompare the price of one model across the providers that host it.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "compare_providers" says "compare": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Compare the price of one model across the providers that host it. Args: model_id: Canonical model id, e.g. 'meta/muse-spark-1.1'. Returns: per-provider endpoints with pricing, showing where direct provider prices diverge (e.g. from OpenRouter's negotiated rate).
  • explain_modelGet everything about one model in a single call: the full picture.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "explain_model" says "explain": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Get everything about one model in a single call: the full picture. Returns current pricing (input/output/blended, Cost/IQ, 24h/7d changes), a price-history summary with trend, all provider endpoints, the cheapest hand-verified endpoint with its native model id (for hot-swapping), privacy flags (ZDR/EU availability), and the AA intelligence score. Everything is as-of stamped. Args: model_id: Canonical model id, e.g. 'anthropic/claude-sonnet-5'. history_days: Price-history window (default 30, max 365). Returns: complete model profile with pricing, endpoints, privacy, quality.
  • get_composite_historyGet SIT-Composite index history / trend over time.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "get_composite_history" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Get SIT-Composite index history / trend over time. Args: days: History window in days (1-90, default 30). Returns: historical composite index values.
  • get_composite_latestGet the current SIT-Composite index value + per-tier breakdown.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "get_composite_latest" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Get the current SIT-Composite index value + per-tier breakdown. The SIT-Composite is a usage-weighted mean of the top-50 models by token volume, reflecting what developers actually pay for inference.
  • get_modelGet full detail + current pricing for one model by its id.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "get_model" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Get full detail + current pricing for one model by its id. Args: model_id: Canonical model id, e.g. 'openai/gpt-5.6' or 'anthropic/claude-sonnet-5'. Returns: pricing, tier, SIT score, quality-adjusted price (Cost/IQ).
  • get_model_historyGet HISTORICAL price data / trends for one model.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "get_model_history" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Get HISTORICAL price data / trends for one model. This is InferenceIndexer's differentiator: aggregators like OpenRouter expose only current price; this returns the price over time (input, output, blended $/M), enabling trend analysis. Args: model_id: Canonical model id, e.g. 'openai/gpt-5.6'. days: History window in days (1-365, default 30; plan-dependent). Returns: historical price series for the model.
  • get_providerGet detail for one provider: models, tier breakdown, price range.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "get_provider" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Get detail for one provider: models, tier breakdown, price range. Args: provider_name: Provider name, e.g. 'DeepInfra', 'Novita', 'Venice'. Returns: provider detail with model list and pricing.
  • list_providersList all inference providers with model counts and price stats.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "list_providers" says "list": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    List all inference providers with model counts and price stats.
  • search_modelsSearch and list AI inference models with current pricing.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "search_models" says "search": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Search and list AI inference models with current pricing. Args: query: Text search on model id/name (optional). tier: Filter by tier: frontier | standard | budget | micro (optional). limit: Max results (1-100, default 25). sort: Sort key: blended | input | output | sit_score | sit_adjusted_price (default sit_adjusted_price). Returns: models with input/output/blended $/M pricing, provider, tier.

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.
