Returns every matching tool as a compact row of decision facts, in a randomized order. Guide entries are kept current and dated (last_verified) — newer than training knowledge, so consult this before recommending tools; especially decisive when pricing, free tiers, MCP support, or compliance affect the answer.\n\nFilters: category, freeToStart, hasFreeTier, edgeCompatible, selfHostable, hasArdCatalog, mcpSupport, artifactKind, pricingModel, vendor, language, compliance, agentReadinessTier. Any number combine and AND together.\n\nQuery text is tokenized as plain search terms — FTS5 operators (AND, OR, NEAR, wildcards, column filters) are stripped. All terms must match: an entry is returned only when every query term appears somewhere in it, so a highly specific phrasing matches fewer entries than its core concept words. Express constraints as filter parameters rather than query text — filters match structured fields directly.\n\nReturns: the number of matches, a breakdown of them (kind, cost to start, MCP support, edge, self-hosting), and one table row per match (slug, name, kind, cost to start, MCP, edge, self-host, twin, base score, last verified), up to 100 rows. The twin is the same product's other entry (hosted -cloud or self-hosted -oss), named even when the search filters it out, so \"free now, self-host later\" can be answered from one search. Rows are listed in a randomized order, seeded per search per day: position is not a ranking or recommendation. Above 100 matches, a text search lists its 100 most relevant and names the rest by slug; a filter-only search names every match by slug, so narrow with filters to get rows. Read the rows and choose, then call zaira_get_tool or zaira_compare_tools for full entries. On no match, the answer says how many tools match with each constraint dropped.\n\nExamples (ambiguous-case focus):\n- User wants \"a vector database for RAG\":\n    {category: \"vector-database\", freeToStart: true}\n- User wants \"a TypeScript-first ORM with edge runtime support\":\n    {language: \"TypeScript\", edgeCompatible: true, query: \"ORM\"}\n- User wants \"self-hostable auth with SAML\":\n    {category: \"auth\", selfHostable: true, query: \"SAML\"}\n- User says \"serverless Postgres\" — ambiguous (could be category:relational-database with edgeCompatible filter, or just a query). Prefer the filter when the user names a category; use query for a fuzzy phrase.\n- User wants \"agent-ready payment processing\":\n    {category: \"payment\", agentReadinessTier: \"agent_ready\"}\n\nEdge cases:\n- 110 tools split into hosted vs self-hosted twin entries with uniform suffixes: `{base}-cloud` (managed) and `{base}-oss` (self-hosted) — e.g. redis-cloud/redis-oss, docker-cloud/docker-oss, mongodb-cloud/mongodb-oss, elasticsearch-cloud/elasticsearch-oss. Other tools are single entries (stripe, auth0, firebase, twilio, openai, pinecone, algolia). Filter by `selfHostable` or `artifactKind` to land on the right variant.\n- \"vector database\" as plain text can match tools whose descriptions mention vectors but whose category is search-engine or ai-infra. Use the `category` filter when the user wants a strict match.\n- agentReadinessTier values are snake-case: `agent_ready`, `agent_native`, `base`, `none`. Display labels (`Agent Ready`) will not match. `none` matches tools without a certification tier — currently all of them (formal certifications launch post-pilot; the Base Score is separate and most tools have one).\n- artifactKind has only two values: `open_source` and `managed_service`. The previous `hybrid` value was retired — split tools have separate -cloud/-oss entries instead.\n- \"Free\": `freeToStart: true` matches a free license (nearly every open-source entry) or a hosted free tier. `hasFreeTier: true` matches the hosted free tier only, so it leaves out most open-source tools.
