    }
  },

    "query"
  ]
}

Get the definition and reference copy for a dictionary term, technology, sensor, or file format by slug (use `search` to find slugs).

      "type": "string",
      "enum": [
        "dictionary",

Profile of a frontier company: what they build, why it matters for frontier design, competitors and technologies from the knowledge graph.

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "slug": {
      "type": "string"
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "slug"

}

Latest design/UX/HMI roles at frontier companies (defense, robotics, space, industrial, health), refreshed from company job boards.

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "industry": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Industry slug (e.g. defense, robotics) — omit for all"

      "type": "number"
    }
  }
}

Identify a file format from an extension, filename, or slug (e.g. 'step', 'scan.mcap', 'gltf') and get how to open or convert it: what it stores, its extensions/MIME/spec, whether a free in-browser viewer exists, and available client-side conversions. Use for 'what is this file' / 'how do I open X'.

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "file": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "An extension, filename, or format slug"
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "file"
  ]
}

Compare two file formats (by slug, extension, or filename) — extensions, category, and a verdict on when to choose each. Use for 'X vs Y' / 'difference between X and Y'.

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "a": {
      "type": "string"
    },
    "b": {
      "type": "string"
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "a",
    "b"
  ]
}

Find the in-browser converter (if any) that turns one format into another, e.g. from='fbx' to='glb'. Returns the tool URL and notes, all client-side (files never upload). Use for 'how do I convert X to Y'.

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "from": {
      "type": "string"
    },
    "to": {
      "type": "string"
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "from",
    "to"
  ]
