Reliability & compatibility
Declared compatibility
Compatibility is declared by the source manifest. End-to-end runtime verification is coming, see below.
We're building live execution health for every listing: tool-call success rate, median latency, uptime, and last-checked timestamps, measured, not self-reported. It isn't live yet, so we don't show numbers we can't stand behind.

Parallel Deep Research
Comprehensive intelligence reports from natural language queries using Parallel AI Task API.
When to Use
- User needs thorough, multi-source research on a topic
- User asks complex questions requiring synthesis of multiple sources
- User needs market research or competitive analysis
- User wants comprehensive reports with citations
- Simple web search is insufficient for the depth needed
Requirements
Environment variable must be set:
PARALLEL_API_KEY- Parallel AI API key
Command
./scripts/parallel_research research "query" [options]
Options
| Option | Description | |--------|-------------| | -p, --processor | Model: pro-fast (default), pro, ultra-fast, ultra | | -t, --timeout | Max wait in seconds (default: 600) | | -f, --format | Output: json (default) or markdown |
Processors
| Processor | Speed | Quality | Cost | |-----------|-------|---------|------| | pro-fast | 2-5x faster | Good | Lower | | pro | Standard | Better | Medium | | ultra-fast | 2-5x faster | Better | Medium | | ultra | Standard | Best | Higher |
Output Format
Default JSON for LLM parsing:
{
"query": "What are the latest developments in fusion energy?",
"processor": "pro-fast",
"run_id": "run_abc123",
"content": {
"summary": "...",
"key_developments": [...],
"companies": [...],
"timeline": [...]
},
"basis": [
{
"field": "summary",
"excerpts": [
{"url": "https://...", "text": "..."}
]
}
]
}
Examples
Basic research:
./scripts/parallel_research research "What are the key players in the AI chip market and their competitive positions?"
Higher quality (slower):
./scripts/parallel_research research "Comprehensive analysis of renewable energy trends 2024" -p ultra
Human-readable output:
./scripts/parallel_research research "Electric vehicle battery technology advances" -f markdown
Extended timeout for complex research:
./scripts/parallel_research research "Deep competitive analysis of cloud providers" -t 1800
Notes
- Research can take 1-45 minutes depending on complexity
- The pro model and ultra models are expensive and can take 10-45 minutes to complete
- Query must be under 15,000 characters
- Status updates print to stderr, results to stdout
