🟢search_exams(query, certifying_body, vendor_slug, limit)
Search the current Cert Atlas certification and professional exam index by name, code, certifying body, or vendor. Call this whenever a user mentions a certification or exam — e.g. AWS Solutions Architect, CISSP, CompTIA Security+, PMP, CCNA, NCLEX, CFA, Azure AZ-104, CKA — or asks what certs a body offers. Returns matching exams with code, certifying body, question count, domain count, and a free practice-exam link.
