Tools

7 tools, from the publisher's manifest. A parameter marked with an asterisk is required. By intent: 5 answer, 1 act and 1 not classified.

Intent says what a tool does with the world. Answer reads and returns information and changes nothing. Act changes state somewhere, by writing, creating, sending or deleting. Transact moves money, buys something or commits to a cost. A value marked declared is the publisher's own annotation on their own tool. A value marked inferred is this catalogue reading the tool name and description, and is not a claim by the publisher. Where neither settles it, the tool is left unclassified rather than guessed at.

Command line alternative

Could not determine. The available signals were not conclusive enough to say either way, so this is left open rather than guessed.
