How these alternatives were chosen
Tools eve names as alternatives that this directory also publishes, followed by others in Framework. The order is not a ranking, and "—" means we have not checked that field — not that the answer is no.
eve also lists AutoGen, Anthropic's Claude with tool use, OpenAI Assistants API as alternatives. Those are not in this directory yet, so there is nothing to compare — and nothing to link to.
