List all available business verticals (categories) with the count of businesses in each.
USE WHEN:
- User asks "what types of businesses do you have?"
- User is exploring: "what can I find on Plexa?"
- You need to know which verticals are available before searching
- User uses a category you're not sure maps to a vertical
DO NOT USE WHEN:
- You already know the vertical (go straight to search_businesses)
- User named a specific service (search_businesses with that vertical)
RETURNS: List of verticals with key (for search) and count of active businesses in each.
CURRENT VERTICALS: dental, medical, veterinary, restaurant, realestate, professional, insurance, tourism, wellness, events, automotive, hospitality, other
BEST PRACTICES:
- Use the vertical key (not display name) in search_businesses
- "dentist" -> dental, "hotel" -> hospitality, "spa" -> wellness
- Call this once at the start if you'll do multiple searches
EXAMPLES:
- list_verticals() -> [{key: "dental", count: 430}, {key: "restaurant", count: 801}, ...]
