What this server can do
11 functions, named and described by the server itself. Parameter names are shown because they say more about what a function does than its name usually does.
browse(kind)- List the available values for one taxonomy kind across the corpus: persona, route, domain, condition, or age-band. Use this to discover what can be passed to `topic`. Required: kind.
compare(a, b, limit)- Compare two developmental topics, conditions, or skills side by side (e.g. 'speech delay' vs 'autism'; 'speech therapy' vs 'occupational therapy'). Returns corpus-grounded points of similarity and difference. Non-diagnostic. Required: a, b.
fetch(id)- Fetch the full published answer for a Pinnacle Ask result. `id` accepts a slug from `search`, an /ask path, or a full pinnacleblooms.org/ask URL. Returns the complete answer document (markdown), Everyday Therapy™ tip, what-to-watch guidance, FAQs, and the canonical URL to cite. Required: id.
home- Overview of the Pinnacle Ask knowledge layer: featured content, corpus statistics, and entry points. Takes no arguments. Good first call to orient before searching.
lookup_code(code, limit)- Look up Pinnacle Ask content by clinical/standards code — WHO ICF (e.g. 'b167'), ICD-11, ICHI, or SNOMED. Returns corpus entries crosswalked to that code. Useful for clinicians, researchers, and policy teams. Required: code.
milestones(limit, domain, age_months)- Developmental milestones from the Pinnacle Ask corpus, optionally filtered by child age in months and developmental domain. Use to answer 'what should my child be doing at N months' style questions. Non-diagnostic.
pathway(topic, per_stage)- Trace how a developmental topic or skill progresses across age stages — a staged pathway view (e.g. how 'speech' develops from babbling to sentences). Returns corpus entries grouped per stage. Required: topic.
red_flags(limit, topic, domain, age_months)- Early warning signs ('what to watch') for a developmental topic, domain, and/or age in months — framed as guidance to seek professional evaluation, never as a diagnosis. Use when a caregiver asks whether a behaviour is concerning.
related(id, limit)- Questions and answers related to a given Pinnacle Ask entry — the interlinked query graph around one id. `id` accepts a slug, /ask path, or full URL. Required: id.
search(limit, query, domain, age_months)- Search the Pinnacle Ask child-development knowledge corpus (pinnacleblooms.org/ask) — real parent questions with clinically grounded, non-diagnostic answers covering speech, motor, social, cognitive, sensory, feeding and behavioural development from birth to 18 years. Returns ranked results with ids; pass a result id to `fetch` for the full answer. Optionally filter by child age in months and/or developmental domain. Required: query.
topic(kind, limit, value)- Curated hub of Pinnacle Ask content for one value of a taxonomy: kind ∈ persona | route | domain | condition | age-band, plus the value (e.g. kind='condition', value='autism'). Use `browse` first to discover valid values. Required: kind, value.

Signals
These are separate measurements of different things. They are deliberately not combined into one score, because a popularity number that mixes website traffic with saves and stars cannot be checked or acted on.
