      What this check looks for
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Search the AISOTools catalog of AI tools by keyword, category, and pricing model. Returns ranked summaries with the canonical aisotools.com page for each result. Use this first when the user asks which AI tool does something. `matched` is how many tools matched in total and `returned` is how many came back — when `truncated` is true there are more, so do not tell the user the catalog only contains what this page returned; raise `limit` (max 50) instead.

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.
