Features and capabilities supported by this server

Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions

Name	Description
command_runA	Run one mirrorable Cobra command by its space-separated command path.
command_searchA	Search and inspect mirrorable Cobra commands exposed through the command orchestration facade.
contextA	Get API domain context: resource taxonomy, auth requirements, query tips, and unique capabilities. Call this first.
searchA	Full-text search across all synced data. Faster than paginating list endpoints. Requires sync first. Large responses are bounded to the MCP tool-result budget.
sqlA	Run read-only SQL against local database. Use for ad-hoc analysis, aggregations, and joins across synced resources. Requires sync first. Returns a JSON object with rows, truncated, and row_limit; large responses are bounded to the MCP tool-result budget.

Interactive templates invoked by user choice

Name	Description
`export-reading-notes`	Export annotations/reading notes for an item or collection into a readable digest.
`inspect-library`	Survey the Zotero library: check sync status, then summarize collections, item counts, and notable gaps.
`prepare-citation-export`	Prepare a citation/bibliography export for a collection in a chosen format.
`prepare-import`	Ingest a folder of PDFs into Zotero through the reviewable scan -> resolve -> apply pipeline.
`prepare-library-health`	Assess and safely remediate library health for a scope.
`sync-vault-safely`	Sync the Obsidian/Logseq vault without losing edits, auditing first.
`synthesize`	Summarize an item, or synthesize across a collection, from a bounded context bundle.

Contextual data attached and managed by the client

Name	Description
`CLI agent context`	Machine-readable description of this CLI's commands, flags, and auth (the agent-context payload).
`Capability registry`	Typed registry of each command's operation (read/write/destructive), write target, data sources, and preconditions (live_local_api, web_api_key, synced_store, better_bibtex).
`Local SQLite schema`	The DDL of the local SQLite store, for writing queries against the sql tool.
`Local archive status`	Sync/archive status of the local store: per-resource counts, library versions, last sync time, and schema version.
`Local freshness`	Per-resource sync ages of the local store (age_seconds + human age) so agents know whether a read is fresh enough to trust or act on.
`Zotero domain context`	Durable Zotero API taxonomy, auth model, and query tips for agents.
