NameDescription
chat_perplexity

Automatically call this tool for interactive, conversational queries. This tool leverages Perplexitys web search capabilities to provide real-time information and maintains conversation history using an optional chat ID for contextual follow-ups.

extract_url_content

Uses browser automation (Puppeteer) and Mozilla's Readability library to extract the main article text content from a given URL. Handles dynamic JavaScript rendering and includes fallback logic. For GitHub repository URLs, it attempts to fetch structured content via gitingest.com. Performs a pre-check for non-HTML content types and checks HTTP status after navigation. Ideal for getting clean text from articles/blog posts. Note: May struggle to isolate only core content on complex homepages or dashboards, potentially including UI elements.

get_documentation

find_apis

Automatically call this tool when needing external services or real time current data (like API info, latest versions, etc.) from web. Compares options based on requirements. Example: When building a shopping site, ask "Find product image APIs with free tiers".

check_deprecated_code

Automatically call this tool when reviewing legacy code, planning upgrades, or encountering warnings with real time web access. Helps identify technical debt. Example: During code reviews or before upgrading dependencies.
