Tool usage guide
The Tail Items tool uses lodash's _.tail function to return all elements of a JSON array except the first. It provides a quick, browser-based way to remove headers or initial items while preserving array order.
Background
You have a JSON array with a header followed by data rows, such as `["ID", "1", "2", "3"]`.
Problem
Need to isolate the data rows for analysis without the header.
How to use
Paste the array into the Array field and submit.
Outcome
The tool returns `["1", "2", "3"]`.
Background
An array starts with a status code or metadata, e.g., `[200, "success", "data"]`.
Problem
Extracting the actual content items after the initial metadata.
How to use
Input the array into the tool.
Outcome
Result is `["success", "data"]`.
