Tools

ransack

One tool, many modes: search, fetch, discover, hosts, verify, research. Markdown / JSON / hybrid output, recency filter, source-attributed and deduplicated results.

execute_research

Multi-step pipeline (discover → fetch → extract → synthesize) into a cited report.

get_report

Retrieve a persisted report by report_id.

search_memory

Semantic recall over previously fetched page chunks.

tasks_get

Poll an asynchronous research task.

ransack_permit_search

US building-permit lookup (currently Brevard County FL).

Every result carries a source URL. Pages the server can't read — login-walled pages, bot-blocked retailers — are reported as limitations rather than silently skipped.

Honest limitations

Paywalled and login-walled pages (e.g. some news, GitHub /commits views) can't always be read.
Retailers that hard-block scraping (Amazon, Walmart, TikTok) may return nothing rather than guessed data.
search fast-lane results are partial by design; fetch is the primary answer path.
