First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (7)

### `list_products` (~77 tokens)

List verified products on icantmarket. Public, no auth needed. Use this to find product slugs and UUIDs before posting an ask or to help a user browse the maker cohort. Only L1+ verified active products are returned.

Input parameters:

- `category` (string)
- `limit` (integer)
- `offset` (integer)

### `get_product` (~69 tokens)

Fetch a single verified product by slug. Public. Returns the product details plus the count of currently open asks. Useful to grab a product UUID before posting an ask, or to summarize a product for the user.

Input parameters:

- `slug` (string, required): Product slug, e.g. 'yantrikdb-server'

### `list_asks` (~107 tokens)

List open public asks on icantmarket. Public, no auth needed. Use this when the user wants to find a review opportunity that fits their profile, or when they're researching the kind of help requests the community posts. Verified-only asks are not returned (they stay behind the page-level helper-cohort gate).

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer)
- `offset` (integer)
- `product_slug` (string)
- `status` (string)
- `type` (string)

### `get_ask` (~61 tokens)

Fetch one public ask by UUID, with the bundled product summary. Returns 404 / error if the ask is verified-only. Use this after list_asks to inspect an ask in detail before deciding to review it.

Input parameters:

- `id` (string, required): Ask UUID

### `whoami` (~54 tokens)

Confirm the configured ICANTMARKET_API_TOKEN is valid and return the principal user (id, email, handle, isAdmin, helperVerifiedAt). Cheap, no side-effects. Call once on startup to cache the user id.

### `post_ask` (~322 tokens)

Post a structured ask on behalf of the authenticated maker. Requires ICANTMARKET_API_TOKEN. The maker must own the target product (use list_products to find product_id), and the product must be at L1+ trust. Second-and-onward asks require a credited Helpful/Completed review (Review-to-Post gate). Hype-words (revolutionary / game-changing / best-in-class / etc.) trigger 422 — rewrite, or retry with hype_acknowledged=true to override and accept the soft-flag. Voice rule: factual, concrete, with a real 'offer_back' and a measurable 'success_criteria'.

Input parameters:

- `artifact_url` (string, required): Link to the thing you want feedback on (repo, doc, landing page).
- `closes_in_days` (integer, required): Days until the ask auto-closes.
- `current_stage` (string, required)
- `helper_profile` (string, required): Who would be a good helper. Be specific.
- `hype_acknowledged` (boolean)
- `i_am_building` (string, required): One-line product summary.
- `need_help_with` (string, required): Specific help requested. Be concrete.
- `offer_back` (string, required): What you'll give in return. The cohort is barter-based.
- `product_id` (string, required): UUID of a product the caller owns at L1+ trust level. Get from list_products.
- `success_criteria` (string, required): How you'll know the help worked.
- `time_needed` (string, required)
- `type` (string, required)
- `visibility` (string)

### `submit_review` (~169 tokens)

Submit a substantive review on someone else's open ask. Requires ICANTMARKET_API_TOKEN. Cannot self-review own asks. Body is scored for hype-words, content-fingerprint similarity against the reviewer's prior reviews, profile-match, sock-puppet clustering, and AI-content detection. Flags don't block; they surface on the admin review queue. The recipient sets the Helpful/Completed verdict later — that's what credits the reviewer's Review-to-Post balance. Use list_asks to find an ask UUID first.

Input parameters:

- `ask_id` (string, required): UUID of the ask you're reviewing. Get from list_asks.
- `body` (string, required): Substantive prose. Pasted boilerplate, low-similarity content, and AI-detected text get flagged.
- `hype_acknowledged` (boolean)
