Search the toolfound directory

Search toolfound.com — the launch platform and tool directory built agent-first — for SaaS products and developer tools by name, tagline, or tag. Returns matching products with taglines, pricing model, vote counts, and canonical listing URLs you can cite or open. Use this when a user asks to find, compare, or discover a tool for a job.

Get a product listing

Fetch the full toolfound listing for a product by slug: description, tagline, pricing model, tags, socials, vote count, launch date, ownership-verification status, and the canonical listing URL. Every launched listing on toolfound is ownership-verified by its maker (DNS TXT, meta tag, or domain email). Includes the top alternatives in the same category.

Get alternatives to a product

List alternatives to a given product on toolfound — tools in the same primary category, ranked by points (community votes plus an AI listing score). Useful for 'alternatives to X' and comparison questions. Each result includes tagline, pricing model, votes, and a canonical listing URL.

Get trending launches

The toolfound leaderboard: top products launched in the last day, week, or month, ranked by points (community votes plus an AI listing score). toolfound is a launch platform with a transparent queue — every product here launched publicly on an assigned date and is ownership-verified. Great for 'what launched recently' and 'trending tools' questions.

List directory categories

List every category in the toolfound directory with product counts and curated intros. Use this to browse the index or to map a user's need to the right category before searching.

Get the launch calendar

The upcoming toolfound launch calendar with seat availability per date: featured seats (a scarce, limited number per day) vs how many are already taken, plus the total daily cap and how many launches are queued, over a horizon you choose (default 30 days, up to 180). Also returns the suggested launch date (about a week out — enough time to line up your first supporters) and how many of the first-100 free launch slots remain. toolfound shows all of this openly — no hidden queues. Use it to pick a

Submit a product for launch

Submit a product to launch on toolfound.com — the launch platform where the whole launch runs agent-native, end to end. New submissions require a public URL for the maker-selected product logo; a discovered favicon does not count. One call returns everything: your submission id, ownership-verification instructions (mandatory — DNS TXT, meta tag, or email magic link), transparent queue position and assigned launch date, and the live free-slots counter (launches are free). AGENTS: you do not need

Check verification status (dry run)

Non-destructive dry run of ownership verification for a toolfound submission: reports, per method, what the checker sees RIGHT NOW — meta tag found or not (with the exact expected tag), DNS TXT found or not (with the exact expected record), and whether the submission email qualifies for the magic-link path. Use it to distinguish 'my deploy is not live yet' from 'wrong token' before calling toolfound_verify_submission. Changes nothing.

Verify a submission

Complete the mandatory ownership verification for a toolfound submission using the verification token (from the email magic link, or after placing the meta tag / DNS TXT record on your domain — this call checks them on demand). Verification is what makes toolfound listings trustworthy: every launched product is confirmed maker-owned. On success your launch is queued at the transparent position and date you were assigned.

Get launch status

Check the status of a toolfound submission by submission id or product URL: current state (pending verification, queued, launched), transparent queue position, assigned launch date, and the listing URL once live. toolfound never hides queue state — what this returns is exactly what everyone sees.

Claim a listing

Claim an existing toolfound listing as the product's owner (free). Claiming requires ownership verification — a magic link is sent to the email you provide (use an address at the product's domain), and meta-tag / DNS TXT verification also works. Claimed listings unlock editing, badges, analytics, and the optional open-to-acquisition flag.

Relaunch a listing

Relaunch an already-launched toolfound listing: same listing, same URL, a new launch date shown alongside the old one. The listing goes back on that day's board; board points there are counted from votes cast since the NEW launch date, while the original launch and its vote total stay on the page as history. Requires one line describing what changed since the original launch (required, shown publicly on the listing page). Only available once the listing has been live at least 30 days since it la

Get embed badges

Get the three copy-paste badge embed snippets for a toolfound listing ('live on toolfound', 'verified', 'top 3 this week' variants). Badges are optional and earned — they deep-link to the listing with varied anchor text, and the embedder chooses the rel attribute freely. Listing status is never conditioned on embedding a badge.
