Good find @A10! Those rules need to be updated for sure.
I mostly agree, with a minor but important point being to retain the focus on:
made available to every player
Assuming that is still honored, your request for tools to access the website directly is going to be solved when we Launch the API Server. This is both for the game to use as a new backend but also for tech-savvy players to access the game data directly so that they can more easily experiment.
Above all though, and worth restating again, any external tools that are developed will need to be very easy for any and every player to have access to. Private tools will still very much be forbidden, and this will likely be enforced through use of API keys.
