Tools

Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions

NameDescription
whatbox_list_toolsA

Return the full tool catalog grouped by category and risk, plus whether remote mutations are currently enabled. Back the /tools command with this.

server_infoA

Return non-sensitive metadata about this local Whatbox MCP server.

list_capabilitiesA

List implemented capabilities, planned Whatbox integrations, and safety boundaries.

whatbox_website_readinessA

Inspect fixed website-hosting readiness facts without reading Nginx configuration contents, process arguments, or private connection values.

whatbox_website_diagnosticsA

Test fixed userland Nginx configuration syntax, optionally probe a configured loopback port without a response body, and summarize recent error severities without returning configuration or log contents.

whatbox_website_deployment_planA

Validate an explicitly allowlisted local static-site source and create a redacted, signed deployment plan. This tool never uploads files or changes Whatbox state.

whatbox_operational_snapshotA

Return one sanitized read-only assessment covering storage pressure, allowlisted services, website readiness, recommendations, and mutation safety state.

whatbox_configuration_statusA

Check whether local Whatbox configuration is complete without returning configuration values or secrets.

whatbox_connection_statusA

Test a verified read-only SSH connection using local credentials without returning their values.

whatbox_configuration_reviewA

Return conservative advisory findings from service metadata and storage capacity without reading configuration contents or making changes.

whatbox_services_statusA

Report conservative configured and running states for an allowlisted Whatbox service catalog without reading configuration contents or process arguments.

whatbox_structure_mapA

Create a bounded directory-only map and Mermaid diagram below an allowed root without reading file contents or traversing sensitive directories or symlinks.

whatbox_torrent_clients_statusA

Report whether allowlisted Whatbox torrent clients are running without returning torrent or unrelated process details.

whatbox_storage_statusA

Report capacity and usage for configured Whatbox storage roots using a fixed read-only query.

whatbox_list_directoryA

List a directory below an explicitly allowed Whatbox storage root. Absolute paths and path escapes are rejected.

whatbox_upload_pathA

Upload an allowlisted local file or directory into an allowed remote root without overwriting. Reversible; checks remote free space first.

whatbox_download_pathA

Download a remote file or directory into the configured local download directory. Skips symlinks; checks local free space first.

whatbox_move_pathA

Move or rename a path between allowed roots without overwriting an existing destination. Reversible.

whatbox_make_directoryA

Create a directory (and missing parents) below an allowed root. Reversible.

whatbox_quarantine_pathA

Move a path into a dated quarantine directory instead of deleting it. Requires explicit human approval. Reversible; reports storage headroom (quarantine does not free space).

whatbox_list_quarantineA

List items currently in the quarantine directory, so a human can choose what to restore (move) or purge.

whatbox_purge_quarantineA

Permanently delete an item that already lives in the quarantine directory. This is the irreversible second step and requires its own explicit human approval.

whatbox_backup_configurationA

Download allowlisted service configuration directories to the local download directory as a timestamped backup. Returns counts only; checks local free space first.

whatbox_service_controlA

Control an allowlisted userland service using fixed start scripts and bounded process signals. Stop/restart require explicit human approval.

whatbox_website_deploy_executeA

Stage a validated local static site into a new release, verify the remote manifest by checksum, atomically activate it via the current-release pointer, and health-check. Reversible via rollback. Checks remote free space first.

whatbox_website_rollbackA

Atomically repoint the current-release pointer to an existing prior release and health-check it. Requires explicit human approval.

whatbox_torrents_statusA

Report bounded torrent status (name, state, progress, ratio, label, totals) through an SSH loopback tunnel to the configured client RPC. Read-only.

whatbox_torrent_addA

Add a torrent from a bounded magnet or HTTP(S) URL through the configured client RPC. Reversible.

whatbox_torrent_controlA

Pause, resume, set the label/category, or set the seed-ratio limit of one torrent. Reversible.

whatbox_torrent_removeA

Remove a torrent from the client, optionally deleting its downloaded data. Requires explicit human approval; deleting data is irreversible.
