Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| check_authA | Verify the configured API key can reach AnythingLLM. Returns whether authentication succeeded. |
| list_workspacesA | List all AnythingLLM workspaces with their display name and slug. Use a name or slug from here with the other tools. |
| list_documentsB | List the documents currently embedded (searchable) in a workspace. Accepts a workspace name or slug. |
| query_workspaceA | Ask a natural-language question answered from a workspace's embedded documents. Default 'query' mode answers ONLY from the documents (grounded, cites sources); 'chat' mode also allows the model's general knowledge. Read-only. |

Scored across 4 tools
Each tool maps to a distinct resource and action: authentication status, workspace listing, document inventory, and document-grounded querying. There is no functional overlap; list_documents and query_workspace are clearly different in purpose.
All four tool names follow the same lower_snake_case verb_noun pattern: check_auth, list_workspaces, list_documents, query_workspace. The naming makes both the action and target predictable.
Four tools is well-scoped for a read/query-focused AnythingLLM server. Each tool covers a necessary step in the workflow with no redundant utilities.
For the apparent read-only retrieval scope, the workflow is complete: authenticate, discover workspaces, inspect embedded documents, and ask grounded questions. Write operations like workspace or document management are absent but appear intentionally outside this tool set's purpose.
