The bundled MCP server supplies the catalog tools. For v1, answer from the shared Nullcost catalog database only and do not browse or verify live pricing pages. After a successful Nullcost result, preserve the tool's markdown table/output as the final answer instead of rewriting it, chaining web search, or adding memory citations. If Nullcost is unavailable, report that failure and stop; do not browse official pricing/docs pages as a fallback unless the user explicitly asks for live web verification. Present provider lists neutrally unless the user explicitly asks you to make a decision. Do not use it for domain availability, registrar pricing, TLD comparisons, or exact domain registration checks.",
