• "Is Heroku's free tier still available?" → { "vendor": "Heroku" }

plan_stack

Plan a technology stack with cost-optimized infrastructure choices. Given project requirements, recommends services with free tiers or credits that match your needs. Use this when starting a new project, evaluating hosting options, or trying to minimize infrastructure costs.

Parameters:

• mode (enum, required) — recommend (free-tier stack for a use case), estimate (cost analysis at scale), audit (risk + cost + gap analysis)
• use_case (string) — What you're building (for recommend mode)
• services (array) — Current vendor names (for estimate/audit mode)
• scale (enum) — hobby, startup, growth
• requirements (array) — Specific infra needs like ["database", "auth", "email"]

Example: { "mode": "recommend", "use_case": "Next.js SaaS app" }

compare_vendors

Compare developer tools and services side by side — free tier limits, pricing tiers, and recent pricing changes. Use this when choosing between similar services or when a vendor changes their pricing.

Parameters:

• vendors (array, required) — 1 or 2 vendor names. 1 = risk check, 2 = side-by-side comparison.
• include_risk (boolean) — Include risk assessment (default: true)

Example: { "vendors": ["Supabase", "Neon"] }

track_changes

Track recent pricing changes across developer tools — which free tiers were removed, which got limits cut, and which improved. Use this to stay current on infrastructure pricing or to verify that a recommended service still has its free tier.

Parameters:

• since (string) — ISO date (default: 7 days ago)
• change_type (enum) — free_tier_removed, limits_reduced, limits_increased, new_free_tier, etc.
• vendor / vendors (string) — Filter by vendor(s)
