notes:
- Full inputSchema and description text for every tool is preserved verbatim in mcp/smklog-com-tools-list.json.
- The provider states the same tools register in-browser via WebMCP (navigator.modelContext) on smklog.com
  pages; the homepage HTML fetched 2026-09-19 carries no modelContext reference, so that claim is recorded
  in conformance/ as stated, not observed.
- Payments never happen over MCP — create_checkout_link is an MPP "session" intent that hands a URL to
  a human.
