| resolve-library-idA | Resolves a package/product name to a Context7-compatible library ID and returns a list of matching libraries. You MUST call this function before 'get-library-docs' to obtain a valid Context7-compatible library ID UNLESS the user explicitly provides a library ID in the format '/org/project' or '/org/project/version' in their query.

For ambiguous queries, request clarification before proceeding with a best-guess match. |
| get-library-docsA | Fetches up-to-date documentation for a library. You must call 'resolve-library-id' first to obtain the exact Context7-compatible library ID required to use this tool, UNLESS the user explicitly provides a library ID in the format '/org/project' or '/org/project/version' in their query. |

The two tools have clearly distinct purposes: 'resolve-library-id' resolves package names to library IDs, while 'get-library-docs' fetches documentation using those IDs. There is no overlap in functionality, and the descriptions explicitly define their roles and interdependencies, making it impossible to confuse them.
Both tools follow a consistent verb-noun pattern with kebab-case (e.g., 'get-library-docs', 'resolve-library-id'), using clear action verbs ('get', 'resolve') paired with specific nouns. This consistency makes the tool set predictable and easy to understand at a glance.
With only two tools, the server feels thin for its apparent domain of library documentation retrieval. While the tools cover core functions (resolving IDs and fetching docs), typical documentation servers might include additional operations like searching, listing libraries, or managing versions, suggesting a borderline under-scoped surface.
The tool set covers the essential workflow for fetching library documentation: resolving IDs and retrieving docs. However, there are minor gaps, such as no tools for searching libraries directly, listing available libraries, or handling documentation updates, which agents might need to work around but don't break core functionality.
