coding_agents = [t for t in tools if t["category"] == "Coding Agents"]
for tool in coding_agents:
    print(f"  {tool['name']} — {tool['pricing']}")

# Find open-source tools
open_source = [t for t in tools if t["pricing"] == "open-source"]

JavaScript

Node.js / Browser

// Fetch and display tools
const response = await fetch("https://aiagenttools.dev/tools.json");
const tools = await response.json();

console.log(`Total tools: ${tools.length}`);

// Group by category
const byCategory = tools.reduce((acc, tool) => {
  acc[tool.category] = (acc[tool.category] || []);
  acc[tool.category].push(tool);
  return acc;
}, {});

Object.entries(byCategory).forEach(([cat, items]) => {
  console.log(`${cat}: ${items.length} tools`);
});

// Get featured tools
const featured = tools.filter(t => t.featured);
console.log(`\nFeatured: ${featured.map(t => t.name).join(", ")}`);
