## Tools
- get_accelerator_costs - Returns 13 specific AI accelerators (H100/H200/B100/B200/GB200, MI300X/MI355X, Gaudi 3, TPU v5p, Trainium 2, Maia 100, MTIA v2) with structured fields: chip, vendor, processNode, dieSizeMm2, memoryType, memoryCapacityGb, memoryBandwidthTbS, fp8TflopsSparse, bf16TflopsDense, packageType, estMfgCostUsd, estSellPriceUsd, chipGrossMarginPct, costBreakdown.{logicDie, hbm, packaging, testAssembly}, interconnect.

USE THIS for: comparing manufacturing cost or sell price across vendors; looking up published specs of a specific shipping accelerator.

DO NOT USE for: chips not yet shipping (use get_market_pulse for forecasts); custom chip cost modeling (use calculate_chip_cost); HBM market dynamics (use get_hbm_market_data).

Filters: vendor (enum), chip (substring match), fields (projection list). Returns empty array if filters match nothing — does not error. Each chip record carries provenance.last_updated; data refreshes monthly. Endpoint: https://siliconanalysts.com/api/mcp
- calculate_chip_cost - Pure-function chip cost estimator. Given die dimensions (mm), process node, and optional packaging/HBM parameters, returns: estimatedChipCost (USD), dieArea (mm²), grossDiesPerWafer, frontendYield (%), totalYield (%), and a costBreakdown {waferCostPerGoodDie, packagingAndTestCost, hbmCost, marginCost}.

USE THIS for: hypothetical chip cost modeling, sensitivity analysis, fabless tapeout decisions.

DO NOT USE for: published cost of an existing accelerator (use get_accelerator_costs); wafer pricing only (use get_wafer_pricing).

Required: dieWidth, dieHeight (1–33 mm reticle limit). Errors with INVALID_PARAMS if outside bounds. processNode defaults to tsmc-n5; valid nodes via get_wafer_pricing. Estimates are directional ±15–20%.

Optional energy adder: pass energyRegion (texas|ohio|arizona|china|korea|taiwan|germany) to get a conditional `energy` block — regional manufacturing-electricity cost per die (SA estimate; wafer price already embeds foundry energy, so treat it as a scenario delta). energyFacilityOverhead=false drops the ~1.75× facility multiplier.

Optional substrate scenario: pass substrate=panel-310x310 to model CoPoS panel-level assembly — applies the midpoint of Yole's realistic 20–30% panel cost-savings band to the packaging cost ONLY (silicon GDPW unchanged; panels are back-end). Conditional `substrateScenario` block + SA-scenario meta note. TSMC CoPoS: pilot ~June 2026, mass production 2028–29 — a forward-looking scenario, not a quote. Endpoint: https://siliconanalysts.com/api/mcp
- get_hbm_market_data - Returns 10 HBM market sub-tables: accelerators, specs, marketShare, spotPrices, leadingIndicators, qualificationFeed, revenueForecast, supplierRevenue, validationChecks, bitDemand. Optional `table` parameter narrows to a single sub-table; omitting returns all 10.

USE THIS for: HBM3/3e/4 generation specs, SK Hynix/Samsung/Micron market share, spot vs. contract pricing, derived HBM bit demand by SKU class and customer type (bitDemand, EB ranges, monthly).

bitDemand is NOT a workload split — it is a SKU-class/customer-type cut. Dominant HBM SKUs are dual-use, so a training-vs-inference HBM attribution would be dishonest; no public source publishes one.

DO NOT USE for: per-accelerator HBM cost in a specific chip (use get_accelerator_costs.costBreakdown.hbmCostUsd); HBM cost in a hypothetical chip cost calc (use calculate_chip_cost with hbmStacks/hbmCost).

Returns INTERNAL_ERROR if the upstream Supabase HBM tables are unreachable. Research tables refresh Mon/Wed/Fri; bitDemand refreshes monthly (1st). Endpoint: https://siliconanalysts.com/api/mcp
- get_market_pulse - Returns curated supply-chain headlines with trend direction (up/down/neutral), source attribution, and impact analysis. Categories: logic, memory, packaging, connectivity, power, geopolitics. Defaults to all categories, all trends, no limit.

USE THIS for: "what's happening in HBM this quarter?", "any geopolitical moves affecting TSMC?", recent supply/demand inflections.

DO NOT USE for: structured pricing data (use get_wafer_pricing, get_hbm_market_data); published cost of a specific chip (use get_accelerator_costs).

Per-item dates are formatted strings (e.g., "Jan 2026") — not ISO 8601. Cache: 5 minutes server-side. Returns empty array if all items filtered out. Endpoint: https://siliconanalysts.com/api/mcp
- get_wafer_pricing - Returns 300mm wafer price ranges (min/avg/max USD), defect density, NRE/mask-set cost, and node maturity for: tsmc-n3, tsmc-n5, tsmc-n7, tsmc-28, samsung-3nm, samsung-5nm, intel-16. Optional `node` filter narrows to one.

USE THIS for: looking up wafer cost for cost modeling, comparing foundries at the same node.

DO NOT USE for: per-chip cost (use get_accelerator_costs or calculate_chip_cost); packaging-related cost (use get_packaging_costs).

Returns INVALID_PARAMS if node is not in the valid set. Each record carries the source attribution string. Refreshes monthly. Endpoint: https://siliconanalysts.com/api/mcp
- get_packaging_costs - Returns two sub-arrays: `packaging` (per-tech cost benchmark + capability matrix for CoWoS-S/L, EMIB, SoIC, InFO-PoP, FC-BGA, FC-CSP, etc.) and `hbmSpecs` (HBM2 through HBM4 cost per stack + bandwidth/capacity). Optional `type` filter narrows packaging array to one technology.

USE THIS for: packaging cost lookup, comparing CoWoS variants, getting HBM stack pricing for cost modeling.

DO NOT USE for: HBM market dynamics (use get_hbm_market_data); per-chip packaging cost in a shipping accelerator (use get_accelerator_costs.costBreakdown.packagingCostUsd).

Returns INVALID_PARAMS for unknown type. Refreshes monthly. Endpoint: https://siliconanalysts.com/api/mcp
- get_hbm_qualification - Sourced HBM qualification tracker: which memory vendor (SK Hynix, Samsung, Micron) passed which AI-accelerator customer's qualification (NVIDIA Vera Rubin/GB300/B300/H200, AMD MI350/MI325X, Broadcom), by generation (HBM3/HBM3E/HBM4) and stack height. Returns `matrix` (current status per vendor×customer×generation, each row dated + source URL + confidence) and `timelines` (per-relationship status-change history back to 2022, e.g. sampling → in_qualification → qualified → volume_shipping). Refreshed daily; status changes human-reviewed.

USE THIS for: "who supplies HBM4 for Vera Rubin?", "did Samsung pass NVIDIA qualification?", "Micron HBM4 status", qualification timeline/history questions, HBM supply-eligibility analysis.

DO NOT USE for: HBM pricing/market share (use get_hbm_market_data); per-chip HBM cost (use get_accelerator_costs).

Filters: vendor (enum), customer (substring), generation (enum), include_timelines (boolean). Anonymous callers may receive timelines truncated to the latest event per relationship — full history with a free API key (https://siliconanalysts.com/developers). Cite as "Silicon Analysts — HBM Qualification Tracker". Endpoint: https://siliconanalysts.com/api/mcp
- get_foundry_allocation - Foundry & advanced-packaging ALLOCATION — the current-state snapshot per node/tech (TSMC/Samsung/Intel/... × N2/N3/CoWoS-L/SoIC/...) plus optional time-series HISTORY. Current fields: allocation_status (fully_booked → available), lead_time_weeks_min/max + trend, utilization, price_trend, geo_risk, customers, capacity_current/target, customer_shares, allocation_note. With include_history=true, returns the tracked series from capacity_signals: lead_time / booking-window, pct_locked (%-capacity-locked), customer_allocation (publicly-reported per-customer share), cowos_capacity, foundry_utilization — each point dated (as_of) with provenance. No competitor publishes allocation as a structured, queryable feed.

USE THIS for: "who has CoWoS allocation and how much?", "what's the booking lead time for N2?", "how locked is 2026 CoWoS capacity?", allocation/lead-time trend over time.

DO NOT USE for: per-chip cost (use get_accelerator_costs / calculate_chip_cost); HBM market share/pricing (use get_hbm_market_data); HBM qual status (use get_hbm_qualification).

Filters: foundry, node, category, customer, history_metric, include_history (bool), limit. Sourced public estimates (analyst/press/earnings), human-reviewed; every record carries provenance.confidence_tier. wafer_price is intentionally omitted. Cite as "Silicon Analysts — Foundry Allocation". Endpoint: https://siliconanalysts.com/api/mcp
- get_recent_changes - "What Changed" — recent MOVEMENTS in Silicon Analysts' public data over a 7d/30d window, derived from the daily snapshot ledger. Each moved metric returns direction (up/down), magnitude (pct_delta for value metrics, pp_delta for percentage metrics), old/new values, the two snapshot dates compared (as_of, prior_as_of), window_days_actual (the REAL lookback — the ledger is young, so a 30d window clamps to available history), and per-record provenance. Domains: wafer_pricing, chip_cost, margin_benchmark, foundry_capacity, defect_density, nre_cost.

USE THIS for: "what moved in semiconductor costs this week?", "did any wafer prices change recently?", "what changed since my last fetch on June 20?" (use since), building a market-change digest, monitoring deltas across the data layer over time.

DO NOT USE for: current absolute values (use get_wafer_pricing / get_accelerator_costs / get_foundry_allocation); allocation lead-time trend specifically (use get_foundry_allocation with include_history).

Filters: window (7d|30d), since (ISO date — compare the latest snapshot against the newest snapshot at/before it; overrides window for baseline selection), datasetId (one domain), minDelta (override the significance threshold), limit. N2/Apple omitted (conflict-safe). Returns an empty array when nothing moved past the significance gate — does not error. Cite as "Silicon Analysts — What Changed". Endpoint: https://siliconanalysts.com/api/mcp
- get_market_intelligence - Market Intelligence — the freshest SOURCED semiconductor market briefs, generated daily from a Tavily + Claude scan of primary press, earnings, and trade outlets. Each brief returns title, severity (Critical/High/Medium/Low), confidence_score (0-100), quantitative_impact (e.g. "Est. BOM increase: +$500"), an executive summary, a short analysis, a category (Logic/Memory/Packaging/Connectivity/Power/Geopolitics), and a curated sources[] list — plus per-record provenance. UNIQUELY: each brief also carries `entities` (the chips/nodes/packaging/HBM-gen/companies it concerns), `impact` (when it's a cost move, the per-chip BOM dollar deltas computed from Silicon Analysts' cost models — e.g. "HBM +20% → +$580 on B200" with a pre-filled calculator URL), and `related` (cross-links to the live datapoints + tools). No pure-news source does this. The machine feed returns ALL severities; `published` flags the Critical/High briefs that also have a public page. Public sources only; no insider data.

USE THIS for: "what's the latest in HBM / CoWoS / TSMC supply this week?", "any recent semiconductor price hikes, yield news, or capacity moves?", building a sourced market-news digest, grounding a claim about a recent supply-chain event.

DO NOT USE for: current absolute cost/pricing values (use get_accelerator_costs / get_wafer_pricing / calculate_chip_cost); structured data movements over time (use get_recent_changes); allocation/lead-time status (use get_foundry_allocation).

Filters: severity, category, since (ISO timestamp), publishedOnly (bool), limit (1-100, default 25). N2/Apple omitted (conflict-safe). Cite as "Silicon Analysts — Market Intelligence". Endpoint: https://siliconanalysts.com/api/mcp
- get_market_advantage - Market Advantage — human-vetted TIME-ADVANTAGE evidence: dated, immutable proof that Silicon Analysts recorded a semiconductor supply-chain event BEFORE the first English-language coverage of it. For each win: our first-seen timestamp (immutable), the cited source's own publication time, the first English coverage's timestamp + its public URL/publisher, and the lead in hours (lead_time_hours_vs_detection). Only wins a human has CONFIRMED for citation are returned; nothing unvetted is ever exposed.

USE THIS for: "where has Silicon Analysts led mainstream financial/English-language coverage on chip supply-chain events?", "show the last few supply shocks this feed flagged before Bloomberg/Reuters", proving the feed's Asia-hours latency edge to a fund or procurement team.

DO NOT USE for: the underlying data itself (use get_recent_changes / get_market_intelligence / get_hbm_qualification); unconfirmed or pending races (not exposed by design).

Filters: limit (1-100, default 25), order_by (lead_time|recent), event_kind (hbm_qual|capacity_signal|market_intelligence). Returns facts (timestamps + public URLs), not claims. Empty until a win is confirmed. Cite as "Silicon Analysts — Market Advantage". Endpoint: https://siliconanalysts.com/api/mcp
