Add one or more alternatives (options to compare) to an AHP decision process in a single call. These are the choices being evaluated, e.g. "MacBook Pro", "ThinkPad X1", "Dell XPS". At least 2 are needed; 7 or fewer keeps comparisons manageable. ALWAYS pass ALL of the user's alternatives in ONE call to this tool — do not call it repeatedly for individual options. Collect the user's complete list first, then add them together.

Add one or more criteria (decision factors) to an AHP decision process in a single call. Criteria are the factors used to evaluate alternatives, e.g. "Price", "Performance", "Battery Life". Criteria can be nested via parentCriterionId to create sub-criteria (e.g. Cost > Purchase Price, Cost > Maintenance). At least 2 needed; keep to 7 or fewer per level. ALWAYS pass ALL of the criteria the user has chosen in ONE call to this tool — do not call it repeatedly for individual criteria. Collect the user's complete list first, then add them together. Only add criteria the user has explicitly chosen — do NOT invent or auto-populate a default set of criteria. Ask the user what factors matter to them first; the criteria are their value model, not yours.

Submit a pairwise comparison in an AHP decision process. The user compares two items and indicates preference on the AHP 1–9 scale (1 = equal, 3 = moderate, 5 = strong, 7 = very strong, 9 = extreme; 2/4/6/8 are intermediate). Set 'preference' to 1–9 and 'preferredItem' to 'first' or 'second'. If equal, use preference=1 (preferredItem is ignored). comparisonType: 'criteria' (comparing criteria against each other) or 'alternatives' (comparing alternatives with respect to a criterion). parentCriterionId: omit for root criteria comparisons, or the parent/evaluating criterion ID for sub-criteria and alternative comparisons.

Create a new AHP decision process — a structured way to choose between options by defining what matters (criteria) and comparing alternatives two at a time. Start here when a user wants help deciding between options using AHP. After creating, guide the user to define criteria and alternatives.

Permanently delete an AHP decision process and all its data. This cannot be undone. Always confirm with the user before calling this tool.

Check the quality and completeness of an AHP decision process. Returns alerts for missing comparisons, insufficient criteria or alternatives, and other issues. Call before showing results to ensure reliability.

Get the next recommended pairwise comparison for an AHP decision. Returns the current state of criteria, alternatives, and existing judgments so you can determine which pair to compare next. Criteria comparisons should be done first, then alternative comparisons for each criterion.

Calculate AHP decision results — ranked alternatives with priority scores, criteria weights, and consistency ratios. Returns the mathematically derived rankings based on all pairwise comparisons.

List all AHP decision processes owned by or shared with the current user. Use this to help them find and resume an existing decision. Returns process IDs, goal titles, and last updated timestamps.

Remove an alternative from the AHP decision process. Any existing comparisons involving this alternative will be invalidated. Confirm with the user before removing, especially if comparisons have been made.
