"""MCP tools that mirror every read-only ``pwc`` research command.
Each tool maps one CLI command and exposes each of its research flags as a
typed parameter, then runs the CLI handler in-process through the catalog.
``TOOL_COMMANDS``, ``PARAMETER_NAMES``, ``ENTITY_PARAMETERS`` and
``MCP_ONLY_PARAMETERS`` are the parity contract that ``tests/test_parity.py``
checks against the CLI parser.
