5 tools, as the server itself reported during our check on Oct 31, 2026.

  • check_modelCheck whether an LLM model id is safe to use, deprecated, or retired, and what to migrate to. Accepts the exact string used in code (e.g. 'gpt-4o', 'claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929', 'anthropic/claude-opus-4-1'). Call this be
  • list_retiring_modelsList tracked models scheduled to retire within a time window, soonest first. Use this to audit a codebase or plan migration work.
  • suggest_replacementGiven a deprecated or retiring model, return the provider's recommended replacement(s) and, when none is published, active models from the same provider to consider.
  • search_modelsList tracked models, optionally filtered by provider and lifecycle state. Use this to discover what is currently available from a provider.
  • recent_lifecycle_changesLifecycle state changes across all tracked providers, newest first. Use this to answer 'what model deprecations happened recently?'.
