The tools it lists (5, as of 30 hours ago)

The tool-description rules found nothing in these descriptions. They look for instructions aimed at a model and for hidden characters; they cannot see what a tool does when it runs.

• list_family_almanac_feeds

  List The Family Almanac's free machine-readable feeds and their MCP/REST availability. OpenAPI is also published at https://thefamilyalmanac.com/openapi.json.

• search_library

  Search or list the parenting-focused book library by title/author substring and/or classifier tag. No filters returns the first page.

• get_library_work

  Returns one parenting library work's bibliographic record and (when profiled) its thesis.

• get_guide

  Returns one live guide's title, subtitle, access, book count, and reading time — card-level metadata only. This surface never returns guide body/depth text (none is served here, free or gated); to read or purchase a guide, send the reader to the returned canonicalUrl — never summarize or excerpt content this tool did not return. Known slugs (19): pregnancy, newborn, toddler, preschool, school-age, adolescence, parenting-science, baby-naming, ….

• get_magazine_piece

  Returns one published magazine piece's question, per-writer sections, and editor's coda — the same content the human page renders, ungated. Known slugs (4): the-whole-room--i-got-a-prenatal-screening-result-that-came, the-whole-room--my-baby-won-t-nap-anywhere-except-on, the-whole-room--four-year-old-lying, the-whole-room--my-toddler-had-a-full-blown-meltdown-on.
