🟢tdd_meta
What The Dutch Directory covers: listing counts by type, the Verified Pro count, doctrine and endpoint URLs. Call it when you need to know the scope of the directory before searching.
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {},
"additionalProperties": false,
"$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#"
}🟢tdd_search(q, type, city, goal, cefr, ...)
Search every way to learn Dutch: schools, universities, apps, podcasts, exams and online tutors. Use it when someone asks where or how to learn Dutch. Filters: city (Dutch or Flemish, e.g. Utrecht, Den Haag, Antwerpen), type, goal (e.g. inburgering, NT2, business, conversation), cefr, online, verified_pro, platform, kind. Each result has directory_url and primary_url to cite.
