Tools: appeal rec letterlens awardlens fafsa aid scholarship profile revision translate humanize account_balance quote_call
appeal | Draft a financial aid appeal letter to a college financial aid office. Call this when a family needs to ask for a review of an award: income dropped, an expense appeared, another school offered more, or the FAFSA was wrong. Returns the letter, not advice on whether to appeal. Runs a 5-step drafting pipeline, so it is the most expensive tool here and the slowest, typically 30 to 60 seconds.
Cost: params: studentName, counselorName, schoolName, appealType, currentAward, amountNeeded, keyDetails*, competing, status, length, naturalness |
rec | Draft a letter of recommendation from counselor notes. Call this to WRITE a letter. To critique one that already exists, call letterlens instead, which is much cheaper. Runs the same 5-step pipeline as appeal.
Cost: about 369 credits (~$0.369) per call. params: studentName, counselorName, purpose, profType, recipient, schools, major, selectivity, relationship, traits*, story, contribution, resumeText, sampleText |
letterlens | Analyze a finished recommendation letter and return specific fixes: what is vague, what is asserted without evidence, what reads as generated. Read-only and far cheaper than drafting. Use it to critique a draft, not to rewrite one, and use revision to apply the fixes.
Cost: about 93 credits (~$0.093) per call. params: letterText*, purpose, focus |
awardlens | Break down one to three financial aid award letters: what is grant, what is loan, what is work-study that has to be earned, what the supported net price is, and what renewal conditions are buried in the language. Identifies missing facts and questions for the aid office. With more than one letter it compares them side by side. Read-only.
Cost: about 173 credits (~$0.173) per call. params: studentName, letter1*, letter2, letter3, scorecardData |
fafsa | Produce a FAFSA action checklist for one student, keyed to their grade, dependency status and income band. Answers the process question a family actually has: what do we do, in what order, by when. Does not compute an award.
Cost: about 87 credits (~$0.087) per call. params: studentName, grade, dependency, income, specials, schools, timeline, notes |
aid | Explain what a family is likely to see across a list of schools and why, in plain language. An explanation for a counselor to walk a family through, never an official determination, and the output says so.
Cost: about 73 credits (~$0.073) per call. params: studentName, income, schoolCount, schoolSummaries, context, fafsaContext, repayContext |
scholarship | Search for current scholarship pages to review. A page in the result is a research lead, not a verified match. Confirm program terms, deadline, and student eligibility on the sponsor page before advising the student. Live web search makes this slower and costlier than the other analysis tools.
Cost: about 165 credits (~$0.165) per call. params: studentName, grade, gpa, major, state, backgrounds, activities, notes |
profile | Turn raw counselor notes into a structured student profile. Run this first when working one student across several tools: it is cheap, and its output is good input for the relationship, traits and story fields on rec, or keyDetails on appeal.
Cost: about 87 credits (~$0.087) per call. params: studentName, grade, school, major, academics, activities, strengths, challenges, goals, tags, notes |
revision | Apply one instruction to an existing letter and return the revised text. Pair it with letterlens: review to find the problems, revise to fix them. Changes only what the instruction asks for.
Cost: about 97 credits (~$0.097) per call. params: currentText*, instruction* |
translate | Translate counselor-facing output into a family's language, holding the financial aid terms in English on purpose. FAFSA, Pell, SAI, COA and the loan names stay untranslated so a family can match what the school actually sends them against what they were told. Read-only.
Cost: about 173 credits (~$0.173) per call. params: sourceText*, targetLang* |
humanize | Rewrite reader-facing prose so it sounds direct, specific, and personal without changing facts or inventing a voice. Use it for outreach, emails, letters, posts, and narrative copy. It preserves quoted text and checks the result against the source. It does not evade or promise to beat AI detectors. Do not use it for code, SQL, JSON, legal text, or technical specifications.
Cost: about 413 credits params: text*, audience, strength, preserveFormatting |
account_balance | Free. Returns the credits left on this API key. Call it before a long run of billed calls. params: none |
quote_call | Free. Validates the input for a tool and returns the exact credit hold a real call would take at your price, plus whether your balance covers it. Use it to budget before a billed call or to lint an input for free. params: tool*, input |
Entries describe changes in tool definitions. They are not statements about a server, its quality or its author. The grade measures how the tool definitions fit model providers (token cost, schema compatibility, confusable names) as scored by the ToolFit engine at the time of the listing. JSON: append .json.
