find_buyer_signals

Use this when the user wants companies that recently raised money or have long-open roles, such as "which software companies in Texas filed a Form D this month?" or "find companies with a bookkeeper role open 60+ days". Pass the industry, and optionally the region, the role the user's service replaces, lookback_days (1 to 60, default 14) and limit. Returns companies ranked by score, each with a one-line why and dated signals linking to the SEC filing or job posting. Roles are only checked when a role is given, and only on the public boards of the companies found. A Form D shows funding, not intent to buy. Companies only: no people or contact details.

region	string	optional	Where the company is based: any US state (name or two-letter code), "US", United Kingdom, Canada, Israel, Ireland, Singapore, Australia, Hong Kong. Leave out to search everywhere
role	string	optional	The job your service replaces or supports, such as "bookkeeper" or "customer support". When given, public job boards of the companies found are checked for matching roles open 60 or more days
lookback_days	integer	optional	How many days back to look for filings (default 14)
limit	integer	optional	How many companies to return (default 10)

list_signal_sources

Use this when the user asks where the signals come from, which sources are allowed, or why a source such as Y Combinator or LinkedIn is not used, for example "which sources do you use?". Takes no input. Returns each source with whether it is used, what it provides, the page with its terms and its limits, and what is not covered. It searches nothing.

Parameters

No parameters.

}

stack_pains

Use this when the user wants an aggregate of which tools people use for a category, what they complain about, what else they consider, and what makes them switch, such as "what do sysadmins complain about in monitoring tools?". Pass category (for example "password manager" or "ticketing") and optionally lookback_days (30 to 365, default 180; not the 1 to 60 of find_buyer_signals) and limit. Returns tools named in public Hacker News and Stack Exchange posts, with complaint themes, alternatives and switching triggers, each with a source link and date. Counts only: no usernames, profiles or contact details. Reddit is not searched. A mention is not a survey and not buying intent.

Parameters3

category	string	required	The kind of tool, such as "monitoring", "password manager" or "ticketing". Not a company and not a person
lookback_days	integer	optional	How many days of posts to read (default 180). This is 30 to 365, not the 1 to 60 used by find_buyer_signals

  "additionalProperties": false
}

find_buying_intent

Use this when the user sells a service and wants public posts where people ask for it, such as "who is asking for an SEO audit?" or "find posts from people looking for a bookkeeper". Pass service (for example "SEO audit"; the word "alternative" alone, with no keywords, finds people asking for a replacement for any tool) and optionally keywords, lookback_days (7 to 365, default 30) and limit. Returns Hacker News posts, GitHub issues and Stack Exchange posts, each with a link, a date, a quote under 15 words, an intent score from 0 to 100, a label (intent or casual_complaint), a one-line reason that names the matched rules and a reply_angle line on what to answer first. Plain rules, no AI model. Optional sources picks which of the three to read. A post that reads like a buyer is a lead to read, not a sure sale. No usernames, profiles or contact details. Reddit is not searched.

Parameters5

service	string	required	The paid service you sell, in plain words, such as "SEO audit", "bookkeeping" or "logo design". Not a company and not a person. Words are matched as written, so try the person form too (for example "bookkeeper")
keywords	array	optional	Optional extra words a post must also contain, such as "shopify" or "small business" (up to 5). Every keyword must appear in a post, so a long list returns little. Leave it out for a first look and add one word only to narrow
sources	array	optional	Which public sources to read: hackernews (comments and Ask HN), github (open and closed issues) and stackexchange. Default is all three. Leave one out to skip it, for example stackexchange when it is rate limited
lookback_days	integer	optional	How many days of posts to read (default 30). This is 7 to 365, not the 1 to 60 of find_buyer_signals or the 30 to 365 of stack_pains
limit	integer	optional	How many posts to return (default 10)

weekly_brief

Weekly brief of buying asks. Use this when the user wants a short summary of the last 7 days of people asking for a service, such as "weekly brief for SEO audit" or "did anyone ask for bookkeeping this week?". To list people asking for a replacement for any tool, pass the service "alternative" alone, with no keywords. Pass service and optionally keywords and sources. Returns one summary line, counts by source and by day, and the top 10 posts with link, date, short quote, score, label, reason and reply_angle. Same rules and sources as find_buying_intent, fixed to 7 days. A quiet week returns no_data. Reddit is not searched.
