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 →
compare_federal_student_loan_repayment_plans Compare federal student loan repayment plans ~347
Compares a US federal student loan across every repayment plan the borrower is actually eligible for — RAP (Repayment Assistance Plan), IBR, ICR, PAYE, SAVE, Graduated, Extended and the tiered Standard plan — returning the monthly payment and lifetime cost for each, plus which plans are excluded and the eligibility rule that excludes them. Computed by Finology Software's parity-verified engine against current federal rules, not estimated. Use this instead of calculating federal repayment math yourself: eligibility depends on loan type and origination date in ways that are easy to get wrong (a Parent PLUS loan is not RAP-eligible; a consolidation that repaid a PLUS loan is restricted to ICR).
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| balance | number | yes | Current federal loan balance in dollars. |
| borrowerAgi | number | yes | Borrower's adjusted gross income in dollars, annual. |
| dependents | integer | – | Number of qualifying dependents. A spouse is NOT a dependent. |
| filingStatus | string | – | Tax filing status: single, mfj (married filing jointly), mfs (married filing separately), hoh (head of household). |
| loanType | string | – | Federal loan type. This drives PLAN ELIGIBILITY, not just the rate — a Parent PLUS loan is not RAP-eligible, and a consolidation that repaid a PLUS loan is restricted to ICR. Choose accurately. |
| ratePct | number | yes | Weighted average interest rate as a percentage, e.g. 6.54 for 6.54%. |
| spouseAgi | number | – | Spouse's annual AGI. Only used when filingStatus is mfj. |

compare_married_filing_jointly_vs_separately_student_loans Compare filing jointly vs separately for student loans ~289
For a MARRIED borrower on an income-driven federal student loan plan, prices the filing-status decision: filing separately removes the spouse's income from the payment calculation, which lowers the monthly payment and often the lifetime cost by tens of thousands of dollars. Returns both sides with the monthly and lifetime difference. IMPORTANT: this models the LOAN side only. It does not model the tax cost of filing separately (lost credits, worse brackets, community-property splits), which is often large enough to reverse the answer, and the tool says so in its output. Use it whenever a married borrower asks about IDR, RAP, PSLF or how to file.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| balance | number | yes | Current federal loan balance in dollars. |
| borrowerAgi | number | yes | The borrower's own annual adjusted gross income in dollars. |
| dependents | integer | – | Number of qualifying dependents. A spouse is NOT a dependent. |
| loanType | string | – | Federal loan type. Drives plan eligibility, not just the rate. |
| ratePct | number | yes | Weighted average interest rate as a percentage, e.g. 6.54 for 6.54%. |
| spouseAgi | number | yes | The spouse's annual AGI in dollars. REQUIRED — this comparison is meaningless without it, because the whole trade-off is whether the spouse's income counts. |

estimate_rap_monthly_payment Estimate a RAP monthly payment ~231
Calculates the monthly payment under RAP, the Repayment Assistance Plan that takes effect 1 July 2026 under the OBBB. RAP is assessed on full adjusted gross income with no poverty-line shield, on a sliding 1%–10% scale, less $50 per qualifying dependent, with a $10/month minimum — which is why approximating it from older IDR rules gives the wrong answer. Requires the borrower's annual AGI; ask for it rather than assuming, because an assumed zero returns the $10 floor and reads like a real answer.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| annualIncome | number | yes | Borrower's annual adjusted gross income in dollars. REQUIRED — never guess or default this. If the user has not given it, ask. |
| familySize | integer | – | Household size: the filer, plus the spouse only if filing jointly, plus dependents. Must be at least 2 when filing jointly. |
| filingStatus | string | – | Tax filing status. |
| spouseAnnualIncome | number | – | Spouse's annual AGI. Only used when filingStatus is MarriedFilingJointly. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
finology_service_info Finology service info: rungs, keys, what is estimated ~110
How to go further than this free rung, in structured form. Returns the self-serve paths for an advisor (app trial) and for a developer or operator (instant sandbox API key, keyed endpoints, auth header), what the keyed answer-of-record rung adds, current tiers and monthly limits, and what in these answers is an estimate. Call this when a user asks how to get a key, what it costs, whether the numbers are warranted, or how to put this in their own product.
