Tools
| Tool | Description | Behaviour |
|---|---|---|
| ask_spot | Generate a bounded answer from retrieved public evidence. Every readable factual statement is copied from validated evidence and linked to its source. | Read-only |
| compare_providers | Retrieve a published, sourced provider comparison. Provider aliases and reversed ordering resolve to the one canonical comparison. Optional coverage (for example "cyber", "D&O" or "workers comp") also lists each provider's published offering page for that line; per-coverage line comparisons are retired and their URLs redirect to the pair comparison. Optional need runs a bounded editorial judgment over that page only; it does not invent a ranking or a purchase recommendation. | Read-only |
| get_page | Retrieve a complete published Spot or The General Average research page by canonical path or URL, including /industries, industry pillars and vertical guides at /industries/{slug}, their FAQs at /industries/{slug}/{question}, provider profiles, comparisons, best-of rankings at /best, /best/{line} and /best/{line}/{segment}, reviews, scores, rankings, and methodology. Industry pages include parent and vertical links; lists are complete even when the website collapses them. Drafts, customer-specific guides, submissions, and unknown paths are unavailable. | Read-only |
| get_provider_reviews | Resolve a provider name, alias, or slug and retrieve its published review summary, Review Score contributors, original source metrics, qualifications, and full Markdown with citations. Unpublished or unavailable review records return found:false. | Read-only |
| get_provider_score | Retrieve a published reliability assessment and Reliability Score for one provider. Provider aliases resolve to the canonical assessment. This is an editorial score for a stated role and scope, not an AM Best rating or a recommendation. Optional need runs a bounded editorial judgment over that assessment only. | Read-only |
| get_rankings | Retrieve the current published Reliability Score rankings. Broker scores and Carrier & MGA scores are ranked separately; the directory also shows a combined score, the average of the two. Partial scores and unrated assessments keep their qualifications. Use search_provider_reliability for provider, score, and status filters. Optional need runs a bounded editorial judgment over the published tables only. | Read-only |
| search_knowledge | Search published Spot pages and the insurance research The General Average publishes at thegeneralaverage.com: industry pillars, vertical insurance guides and FAQs, provider profiles, comparisons, best-of provider rankings by coverage line and business type, provider reviews, Reliability Scores, rankings, and rating methodology, with deterministic lexical retrieval. Research results carry thegeneralaverage.com URLs. | Read-only |
| search_provider_reliability | Search published Reliability Score assessments by query, status, and score range, and sort by name or displayed score. rubric=all sorts and filters by the combined score (the average of the Broker and Carrier & MGA scores, or the one a provider has). | Read-only |
| search_provider_reviews | Search published provider reviews by query, Review Score range, and rating availability; sort alphabetically or by displayed Review Score. Scores equally weight eligible source ratings on a 10-point scale and use an approximate academic conversion for BBB grades. Use get_provider_reviews for source-level evidence. | Read-only |
