compare_offerings
Use this when a user wants to compare 2-3 specific homeschool curricula side by side (e.g., 'Sonlight vs My Father's World'). Returns full detail for each offering so you can contrast approach, price, worldview, parent time, and reviewer consensus. Pass slugs when known, names otherwise.

{'type': 'object', '$schema': 'https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema', 'required': ['slugs'], 'properties': {'slugs': {'type': 'array', 'items': {'type': 'string', 'maxLength': 120}, 'maxItems': 3, 'minItems': 2, 'description': '2-3 offering slugs (preferred) or names, e.g. ["sonlight","my-fathers-world"].'}}}
Output schema

find_curriculum
Use this when a user wants to find or get recommendations for homeschool curriculum, educational programs, or learning materials for their children. Searches a curated database of 350+ expert-reviewed homeschool offerings and returns personalized matches based on the child's grade level, learning style, family values, budget, and special needs. subjects is a hard filter results always satisfy. worldview is too, but it widens: a specific worldview request also returns worldview-neutral offerings, which suit any household. grade_level is a hard filter except that an offering with no grade range recorded appears at every grade. budget_max filters on an offering's lowest price, so a result may cost more at higher levels, and one whose price is unknown may appear at any budget. learning_style, special_needs, parent_time, and format_preference influence ranking. Do not use for lesson planning, scheduling, legal compliance questions, or tutoring.

search_offerings
Look up specific homeschool offerings by name in the Homeschool Tools database (e.g., to check whether a curriculum the user mentioned is covered, or to get its slug for other tools). Returns name, slug, and a one-line summary per match. Do not use this for general recommendations (use find_curriculum), and do not use it for lesson planning, tutoring, or non-curriculum questions.
