Checklist

• I added a very descriptive title to this issue.
• I included a link to the documentation page I am referring to (if applicable).

Issue with current documentation:

The LangChain integration documentation provides basic information about the tools, but gathering complete, up-to-date information requires additional steps. This includes details about subscriptions, regional API availability, and support for different models. I propose enhancing the documentation structure by adding filterable tables with key parameters (e.g., regional availability, cost) to simplify integration for developers.

Idea or request for content:

I have prepared a notebook with examples and an analysis of the current documentation structure, along with suggested improvements. I am ready for further discussion and improvement.

super thorough and appreciate the notebook! Going to convert this to a discussion and write some thoughts / solicit ideas on improvement. Fully agreed there's some low-hanging fruit to fix now, and would also love to come up with concrete issues that can be improved either by the OSS community or by the maintainers when we have more capacity

[efriis]

Initially, everything looks great, and the tables seem informative enough for developers to understand the conditions for using each tool.

thanks! this is definitely the goal of these "featured" tools tables

[efriis]

However, things start breaking down when trying to view all available tools

thoughts on making the "all" a sub-page, similar to what we do on the providers page?

Works on all operating systems and requires no additional software - ✅
Completely free - ✅
Available in all regions - ✅
Compatible with all modls - ✅

calling out this schema in particular to see if there are other relevant columns to call out/add

on the region flag - this makes sense to me especially for models. On the tools front, is this as big of an issue?

[efriis]

On on the filter/feature table - I like this. If you have a favorite react component that does this, let me know. This is similar to what we tried to achieve a while back with the "integrations hub," and it's likely time to bring it back in some form!

Maybe something like this, with a filter in addition to the sorting? https://pester.dev/docs/additional-resources/articles/
