| Tool | Description | Behaviour |
|---|---|---|
| ask_community_question | Ask the Namaste America community a question on behalf of a signed-in member. `member_email` must be the authenticated member's email (not free text) — it attributes the question and guards against spam. Questions are moderated: clean ones publish immediately, others are held for review. Returns {'ok', 'id', 'slug', 'status'} or {'ok': False, 'error'}. | Not declared |

| get_apparel_details | Full canonical record for one apparel/jewelry store, plus its version history. | Not declared |
| get_community_answers | A community question + its published answers (Dost's AI answer first, then community answers by upvotes). `slug` comes from search_community_questions. Returns the question with an `answers` list, or {'error': 'not_found'}. | Not declared |
