Cert Atlas tools (4)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postscompare_examsFreeCompare 2–8 certification exams side by side — price, duration, passing score, question count, and domain count. Call for 'X vs Y', 'which is harder/cheaper', 'easiest cloud cert', 'CCNA vs Network+'. Accepts exam ids, codes, or names; each row links a free practice exam.
get_exam_blueprintFreeGet the full published blueprint for ONE certification exam: domain/objective breakdown with topic weights, passing score, question count & types, duration, price, prerequisites, retake & renewal policy, languages, and the official source URL. Reviewed records also include an exam overview, audience, preparation guidance, aggregate study signals, and source verification. Call this for 'what's on the X exam', 'how is X weighted by domain', 'prerequisites for X', 'passing score for X', 'how long is X'. Accepts an exam_id, exam_code, or certification name. Includes a free practice-exam link.
list_certifying_bodiesFreeList the certifying bodies / vendors in the current Cert Atlas index with exam counts. Call for 'what certification providers/vendors are covered', 'how many AWS/Microsoft/Cisco certs'. Optionally filter by a substring.
search_examsFreeSearch the current Cert Atlas certification and professional exam index by name, code, certifying body, or vendor. Call this whenever a user mentions a certification or exam — e.g. AWS Solutions Architect, CISSP, CompTIA Security+, PMP, CCNA, NCLEX, CFA, Azure AZ-104, CKA — or asks what certs a body offers. Returns matching exams with code, certifying body, question count, domain count, and a free practice-exam link.
