CAC Editorial

Use when a learner wants to choose a certification interactively. Opens a six-question selector about role, experience and goals and shows a best fit and runner-up; falls back to a text version if the widget cannot render. Read-only.

open_cert_selector

Use when a learner asks which certification track fits them. Compares four tracks from six short answers about role, experience and goals; returns the six questions if answers are missing or invalid. Read-only; gives no exam or practice questions.

recommend_cert

Use when a learner asks about exam format, registration steps or exam-day requirements for one track; country is optional. Returns dated facts, steps and a checklist. The USD exam fee appears only when verified in the last 30 days; the local fee is shown as unknown, never estimated. Read-only; no purchases.

get_exam_logistics

Use when a learner asks what a certification concept means. Explains one published concept with an example and sources. Asks which one if a topic matches several; serves the nearest published level, labelled, if the requested level is missing; says so if nothing is published. Read-only; no exam or practice questions.

explain_concept

Records one anonymous selector interaction (opened, answered, result shown, link clicked) when plugin tracking is enabled; otherwise does nothing. Called by the selector widget itself, not for direct use in conversation. Stores no answers or personal data.

record_cert_selector_event

Use when a learner wants a study plan for one track. Spreads weekly study minutes across the published exam domains, with extra time for weak topics; asks again if a topic is not recognised or repeated. Read-only; a guide only, no exam result is guaranteed.
