NameDescription
ref_search_documentation

A powerful search tool to check technical documentation. Whenever you need to respond about any technical platform, framework, api, service, database, library, etc you should use this tool to check the documentation, even if you think you know the answer. Make sure to include the language and any other relevant context in the query.

ref_read

A tool that fetches content from a URL and converts it to markdown for easy reading.

This is powerful when used in conjunction with the ref_search_documentation or ref_search_web tool that return urls of relevant content.

ref_search_web

Search the web for information. This should be used as a fallback when the ref_search_documentation tool doesn't have the information you need.
