Returns

text + structuredContent

Founder.best classifies products three ways: categories (broad, e.g. “AI & Machine Learning”), use cases (what the product does, e.g. “Social Media Scheduling”) and target audiences (who it is for, e.g. “Marketers”). This tool searches all three and returns their slugs and live product counts. Call it with no query to list everything.

Parameters

Response

structuredContent contains three arrays - categories (name, slug, description, product_count, url, api_url), use_cases and audiences (name, slug, product_count, api_url). Only use cases and audiences with at least one live product are included.

Example

Which categories on Founder.best are about social media?

The agent calls the tool:

{ "name": "search_categories", "arguments": { "query": "social", "limit": 5 } }

and gets back Markdown for the model plus structuredContent shaped like this (trimmed):

{
  "categories": [
    { "name": "Social & Community", "slug": "social", "description": "Social networking and community platforms", "product_count": 15, "url": "https://www.founder.best/categories/social", "api_url": "https://www.founder.best/api/v1/products?category=social" }
  ],
  "use_cases": [
    { "name": "Social Media Automation", "slug": "social-media-automation", "product_count": 4, "api_url": "https://www.founder.best/api/v1/products?use_case=social-media-automation" },
    { "name": "Social Media Management", "slug": "social-media-management", "product_count": 3, "api_url": "…" }
  ],
  "audiences": []
}

Notes

• Pricing types and platforms are fixed lists and are not searched here; they are documented on search_products and returned by the REST categories endpoint.

REST equivalent

The REST endpoint returns the full taxonomy without filtering.
