ContextBolt Radar MCP tools
Every ContextBolt Radar tool, what it does, when to use it, and what it costs against your monthly credit allowance.
You never call these tools by name. You ask your agent for what you want in plain English and it picks the right one. The names below are just so you know what is available and what each costs.
Everything here needs the MCP endpoint connected. If you have not done that, start with Connect your agent.
How credits work. The nightly watching, the Monday briefing, and every tool below marked free cost you nothing. Your monthly allowance is only spent on the two on-demand tools: a deep teardown (5 credits) and an instant check (1 credit per competitor). The allowance is generous enough that normal use never runs out.
Set up your watch list
Free.
radar_add_competitor
Add a domain to your watch list, up to five. You can point it at a specific pricing or changelog URL if the automatic discovery misses one.
“Watch acme.com.”
Returns a confirmation, and Radar starts tracking that competitor’s surfaces.
radar_remove_competitor
Stop watching a domain. Its history is kept.
“Stop watching rival.io.”
Returns a confirmation that it is off your active list.
radar_list_competitors
See who you are watching, with last-checked and last-change info.
“Who am I watching?”
Returns your watch list with the latest status for each competitor.
radar_set_context
Tell Radar what you sell so every change is judged for you, not generically.
“For context, I sell a flat-rate monitoring tool for small teams.”
Returns a confirmation. From then on, interpretations are framed around your business.
Look now
Uses your monthly allowance.
radar_teardown
A deep, analyst-style read of one competitor right now, across every surface, plus its search snapshot. Great on day one, and it sets the baseline for future change detection. Costs 5 credits.
“Give me a teardown of acme.com.”
Returns a full read of that competitor, judged for you.
radar_check
An on-demand check between nightly runs, for one competitor or all of them. Costs 1 credit per competitor checked.
“Check my competitors now.”
Returns anything that changed since the last check, judged for significance.
Briefings and history
Free.
radar_digest
The analyst briefing of everything that moved since your last one. This is what the Monday email contains, on demand.
“What did my competitors do this week?”
Returns the meaningful changes, each with its evidence and counter-move.
radar_history
The dated change log for one competitor, the trajectory view. Ask for the receipts and it returns the exact before-and-after.
“Show me acme.com’s history.”
Returns the timeline of judged changes, with evidence when you ask for it.
radar_whats_next
Explains what Radar is doing on its own and what you can ask for, tailored to your setup.
“What does Radar do now?”
Returns a plain rundown of the watching, the briefing cadence and your options.
Counter-moves
Free.
radar_counter_moves
Pulls the counter-moves worth acting on this cycle, the same set your Monday email lists. Ask for a longer window to see the history.
“What are my counter-moves this week?”
Returns each active play with the change behind it, ready for your agent to draft.
radar_mark_actioned
Marks a counter-move as handled so it drops off your active list once you have shipped it or decided to skip it.
“Mark the acme.com price move as done.”
Returns a confirmation, and the play leaves your active list. History keeps the record.
Account
Free.
check_credits
“How many credits do I have left?”
Returns your remaining balance and your reset date.
Your radar is remembered. Every judged change is kept forever and mirrored to a local ./radar/ folder, one file per competitor plus an index. That history is what powers the trajectory view and lines like “second price rise since January.”
