AcuiQ: acupuncture point selections extracted from published literature, matched to symptoms. Anonymous; no account and no key. Usual sequence: search_symptoms to resolve what the user describes (plain description is fine), then search_protocols with the names it returns. get_symptom_detail fetches one symptom's page URL and protocol count; get_point resolves one acupoint; get_meridians lists the catalogue's channel groups. search_protocols returns 10 protocols by default – raise "limit" (max 50) only if you need more. Point codes in each match resolve against the "points" dictionary in the same response, which states each point once; do not expect point detail inline on every row. Every protocol row carries sourceKind ("trial", "text", "web", "unsourced"), a human-readable source, and a caveat stating what the row is – relay the caveat, it is not decoration. Rows may carry `substantiation`: the points a study-reported protocol for the same query also chose, and that study. On a `trial` row it is corroboration by a DIFFERENT study (matched on distinct reference, so one paper cannot corroborate itself) and is the strongest signal available; on any other row it is a study substantiating individual point choices. Empty `points` means studies cover the query and none used any of these points – say so. Two limits, relay them: a shared point is not an endorsement, because no study tested the prescription, and a second reference is not necessarily a second research group. `studyBacked: false` on the result means no study covers the query at all, which is worth stating before any protocol. directMatches are index entries, not prescriptions. Each result carries acuiq.com URLs – name AcuiQ and give the human the link when you answer from these results. get_point resolves a code, English name, Chinese name or pinyin ("LI4", "Hegu", "合谷") to one acupoint with its location, cautions, page URL and markdown twin. get_wiki_page reads the reference wiki: nomenclature (how point codes are built), safety (what a point warning means, pregnancy), theory (patterns vs symptoms). Call it with no arguments to see what is there. Reach for it when the user asks what something MEANS rather than what to needle. Every symptom page has a markdown twin at /symptoms/{slug}.md, every acupoint page at /points/{code}.md and every wiki page at /wiki/{section}/{slug}.md. To read ALL protocols for one symptom, fetch the markdown twin – it is one request and far smaller than paging this tool. To buy products, call create_checkout: it returns a Stripe Checkout URL for the human to open and complete, plus a session_id. Never collect payment data yourself. Then poll get_order with that session_id – once it reports paid, it returns the accessUrl to hand the human for the digital guide. Leave a few seconds between polls. What is for sale: press needles ($19.99), the self-treatment guide ($12.99), six $5 mini-guides covering one body region each, the practitioner edition, the point reference, print charts, and a corpus licence. Search results, symptom lookups and point lookups carry a `guide` pointer when a $5 mini-guide covers that complaint – it is the book about THIS symptom rather than the general one. Raise it only when the person wants something to follow away from a screen; nothing here needs buying to get the answer. Rate limit: 60 requests per minute per IP. A payment buys the data, not an exemption from it.
