list_categories | List every vendor category VendorIndex covers (e.g. transactional-email, llm-models, embeddings-apis, llm-gateways), each with its use cases and vendor count. Call this first to discover valid category and use_case ids. |
get_category_ranking | Get the ranked vendors for a category, scored per use case (deterministic, from verified pricing + agent-friction + health). Omit use_case to get the ranking for every use case in the category. Returns each vendor's weighted total and per-dimension scores. |
recommend | Recommend the top vendors for a specific category + use case, with the reasoning (which dimensions drove the pick). Best when an agent needs a single answer to 'what should I use for X?'. |
get_vendor | Full detail for one vendor: cited pricing (structured rates + source URL + verified date + confidence), agent-friction checks, SDKs, capabilities, portability and health signals. |
compare_vendors | Side-by-side comparison of several vendors for one category + use case: weighted totals, per-dimension scores and health trend. Use for head-to-head questions. |
search_vendors | Find vendors by free-text query across name, id, category and capability (e.g. 'embedding', 'soc2', 'fast_inference'). Returns matches with their categories. |
