The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Tool Tokens
audit_search ~135

Whether search engines can index the page and show it well (SEO), answer engines can lift a direct answer (AEO), and AI engines can reach it, read it without JavaScript, and name the entity (GEO): title, description, headings, alt, share card and its 1200×630 image, canonical, robots.txt for search and AI crawlers, sitemap, JSON-LD, question headings with short answers, server-rendered text.

Static by default; render=true adds the measured checks.

NameTypeReqDescription
directionstring––

NameTypeReqDescription
idstringyes–

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_icons ~67

imageboolean–Attach the demo's thumbnail (default true)

No output schema declared.

calmboolean–They used a calm word: clean, simple, professional, plain, calm, quiet, corporate, serious, trustworthy
fittingarray–Direction ids whose mood names this subject's world
