  • vest_build_stackRecommend a curated stack of AI tools for a specific user goal or mission, with live cashback rates and tracked signup links.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.
    • The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Recommend a curated stack of AI tools for a specific user goal or mission, with live cashback rates and tracked signup links. Use when the user describes WHAT they're trying to build or accomplish rather than naming a specific tool. Real triggers: 'I'm launching a B2B SaaS', 'help me build a GTM machine', 'Help me build an outbound email engine', 'Help me launch a [product/company/workflow]', 'I'm setting up a [research pipeline / dev workflow / creative studio]', 'Build me an outbound email engine', 'Build me a GTM stack', 'I need an outbound system', 'outbound delivery system', 'cold email automation', 'recommend an AI stack for video content', 'Recommend a stack for [goal]', 'What AI tools do I need for [X]', "What's the best set of tools for [X]", 'set up my dev workflow', 'set up my research pipeline', 'build me a research pipeline', 'I want to start a creative studio', 'curate a stack for me', '[goal] with a budget of $[X]/month', 'on a tight budget', 'what can I do with $[X]/month'. Returns 3–6 tools per stack with name, slug, role-in-stack, tagline, current cashback rate, and a ready-to-use Vest signup link for each. Stacks are organized by mission, not by tool category, so the same tool may appear in multiple stacks with a different role label. Do NOT use this when the user has already chosen a specific tool — use vest_get_signup_link instead. Do NOT use for general 'what AI tools exist' browsing — use the vest://catalog resource or vest_search_tools.

    • The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Estimate how much cashback a user would earn on their AI tool subscriptions via Vest. Pass subscriptions with monthly costs; Vest accounts for loyalty tier (5–20% depending on total spend). Use when the user asks 'how much could I save?', 'what's my cashback estimate?', or is evaluating whether to join Vest. No API key required. Do NOT use this to recommend tools — use vest_build_stack. Do NOT use this to check what the user already has on Vest — use vest_get_account.

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "vest_submit_tool_request" says "submit": a word for a change.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Submit a request to add a new AI tool to the Vest catalog. Use when the user mentions a tool they'd like to earn cashback on that isn't currently available in Vest's catalog. Collects the tool name, optional URL, use case, and contact email for follow-up. Do NOT use this when the tool is already in Vest's catalog — use vest_search_tools first to confirm. Always confirm with the user before submitting; never auto-submit based on inference.

    Description, as the server wrote it
    Get the authenticated user's Vest account details: wallet balance, subscription stack, loyalty tier, lifetime earnings, and next payout date. Requires authentication. Use when the user asks about their Vest account, wallet balance, earnings, or subscriptions. Do NOT use this to estimate hypothetical earnings — use vest_estimate_cashback.

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "vest_search_tools" says "search": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Search and browse AI tools available in Vest's cashback catalog. Returns names, slugs, categories, and live cashback rates. Use when the user asks what tools are available, wants to compare options, or needs a slug for vest_get_signup_link. Real triggers: 'what AI writing tools does Vest have?', 'show me coding tools with high cashback', 'find tools under $50/mo'. Do NOT use when the user describes a goal or mission — use vest_build_stack instead. Do NOT use to get a signup link — use vest_get_signup_link.

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.
