dp_searchStart here for a general privacy question. One keyword search across the whole hub: short checked answers to common questions (each with its sources, the guide it comes from and the date that guide was checked), directory tools, how-to guides, curated tool stacks and the glossary. Use 1–3 keywords sdp_search_toolsUse when a user wants privacy tool recommendations (VPNs, email, browsers, messengers, password managers, etc.). Matches records containing every query word, so 1–2 keywords such as 'vpn' or 'password manager' work and a full sentence usually returns nothing. For a whole kind of tool, use `category`dp_get_toolFetch one directory tool's full record by slug: description, DP pick (if any), jurisdiction, encryption, PII requirements, platforms, and its Default Privacy page (dp_url). Also returns `sources` (links, keyed by the field they back, with the date checked) and `caveats` (things to know before choosidp_list_categoriesList the privacy tool directory's category groups and subcategories with tool counts. Use the returned slugs to filter dp_search_tools.dp_find_alternativesUse when a user wants to replace a mainstream product: consumer apps and services (Gmail, WhatsApp, Chrome, Google Drive, Zoom, LastPass, Windows…) or a website tracker / ad script (Google Analytics, Hotjar, Mixpanel, Facebook Pixel…). Pass the product's name. Trackers return a curated swap list. Codp_how_privateUse when someone asks how private an app, service or device is ("how private is Notion?", "is Zoom safe?", "does Slack read my messages?", "is Proton any good?"). Pass the product's name. Returns, when Default Privacy has them: dp_record (DP's own sourced record and pick, if it is in the directory),dp_get_related_toolsUse after dp_get_tool for 'what else is like X?': returns other tools in the same directory category with DP picks first, then A to Z, excluding X. X must be a directory slug; for a product the directory doesn't list, use dp_find_alternatives.dp_compare_toolsFetch the full Privacy Protocol records for 2–5 tools by slug for side-by-side comparison (DP pick, jurisdiction, encryption, PII requirements), each with `sources` and `caveats`. A null field means Default Privacy has not checked it (never read null as no); quote the caveats and cite the sources. Udp_search_guidesSearch Default Privacy's long-form privacy how-tos, e.g. switching to GrapheneOS, keeping a home address off people-search sites, data-broker removal, running your own VPN, and the 'How to Live Privately' series. Filter by category. Returns metadata and links; use dp_get_guide for full content.dp_get_guideFetch one guide by slug. By default returns its summary, its section headings and its short checked FAQ answers, not the whole text. Pass section (one of the headings) to get that section's text, or full: true for the whole guide.dp_list_stacksList every privacy stack: a curated set of directory tools for one goal or threat (a privacy starter kit, de-Googling, leaving Gmail, a journalist's or a stalking survivor's kit, Windows hardening…). Returns title, slug, a short description and url for each; use dp_get_stack for one stack's full condp_get_stackFetch one privacy stack by slug. By default returns its summary and its layers with the tools in each, in setup order. Pass section (a layer heading) for why each tool and the tradeoffs, or full: true for the whole stack. Slugs come from dp_list_stacks or dp_search.dp_routeDescribe the user's situation or goal in their own words (e.g. "I'm a journalist protecting sources", "I just bought a Pixel and want GrapheneOS", "which password manager", "I want to use AI more privately") and get the best-matching Default Privacy situations, each with the guides and stacks to readp_check_mcp_serverBefore connecting an MCP server, check whether it is in Default Privacy's vetted list and what it can read or change. Give its repository URL, server URL, name or slug. A listed server returns its record with sources and caveats. An unlisted one returns a short checklist plus, for a GitHub or registdp_search_glossarySearch the privacy & security glossary for defined terms. Returns term, definition, and link; use dp_get_glossary_term for the full entry.dp_get_glossary_termFetch a single glossary term's full definition and content by slug.dp_check_email_securityCheck a domain's email authentication posture — SPF, DKIM, and DMARC DNS records — and return an A–F grade with explanations. Read-only DNS lookups; no email is sent or stored.dp_check_whois_privacyLook up a domain's public WHOIS/RDAP registration record and flag exposed personal identity fields (registrant name, email, phone, address). Read-only RDAP lookup.dp_check_domain_breachesCheck whether a domain appears in known public data breaches (via the Have I Been Pwned breach catalog). Returns matching breaches with dates, exposed data classes, and account counts. Domain-level only: no personal email is queried. For whether a person's own email address was in a breach, pass on
