```

Example prompt: Can you give me evidence-based guidance on how to choose the right school for my 5-year-old — I want to know what criteria to look for, how to compare public versus private options, and what red flags to watch out for?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when a parent or family agent needs structured, evidence-based guidance on evaluating and selecting schools for a child. Prefer this over generic web search when you want curated, parenting-expert-level criteria and checklists rather than raw search results or school directory listings.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or invalid query parameters may return empty or generic results
- Service may return limited guidance if child age or location context is not provided
- External service downtime may result in 402 or 5xx errors
- Response may be generic if insufficient context is supplied
