}Cómo funciona
El servidor mantiene un historial de pensamientos y los procesa mediante un flujo de trabajo estructurado. Cada pensamiento se valida mediante modelos de Pydantic, se clasifica en etapas de pensamiento y se almacena con los metadatos relevantes en un sistema de almacenamiento seguro para subprocesos. El servidor gestiona automáticamente la persistencia de datos, la creación de copias de seguridad y proporciona herramientas para analizar las relaciones entre los pensamientos.

Available Tools
5 toolsclear_historyB
Clear the thought history.
Returns:
dict: Status message
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
No parameters | |||
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations exist, so the description must disclose all behavioral traits. It only states the action and return type, omitting details like destructiveness, scope, or confirmation requirements.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise at two sentences, front-loading the key action. While it lacks depth, it contains no superfluous information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite the tool's simplicity, the description is incomplete. It does not mention that clearing history is irreversible or provide any behavioral context, especially given the lack of annotations and output schema.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has zero parameters, so the baseline is 4. The description does not need to add parameter information since none exist.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description explicitly states 'Clear the thought history,' which matches the tool name 'clear_history.' The verb 'clear' and resource 'thought history' are clear and distinct from sibling tools like export_session or process_thought.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. There is no mention of prerequisites, side effects, or context for clearing history.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
export_sessionB
Export the current thinking session to a file.
Args:
file_path: Path to save the exported session
Returns:
dict: Status message
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| file_path | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It does not disclose side effects, file overwrite behavior, or access permissions; merely states the action and returns 'Status message' without detail.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences plus structured Args/Returns sections, clear and front-loaded; no unnecessary text.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Adequate for a simple tool with one parameter and no output schema, but lacks information on file format, overwrite behavior, or status message contents.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%, but the description adds 'Path to save the exported session' for file_path, clarifying its purpose beyond the schema's type definition.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb ('Export') and resource ('current thinking session') with destination ('to a file'), clearly distinguishing from siblings like import_session or generate_summary.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives; lacks context on prerequisites or situations like saving vs sharing.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
generate_summaryB
Generate a summary of the entire thinking process.
Returns:
dict: Summary of the thinking process
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
No parameters | |||
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations exist, and the description does not disclose behavioral traits (e.g., whether it is a read-only operation, requires state, or has side effects). It only states it returns a dict, which is insufficient.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise with two short sentences, no unnecessary words, and the key information is front-loaded.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema and sibling tools, the description lacks details about what the summary contains, how it is generated, or any dependencies. It feels incomplete for a tool that produces a significant output.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
There are no parameters, so schema coverage is trivially 100%. The description adds meaning by specifying the output is a summary of the thinking process, which is helpful beyond an empty schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Generate') and the resource ('summary of the entire thinking process'). It is a specific verb+resource combination that distinguishes it from sibling tools like 'clear_history', 'export_session', etc.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. There is no mention of prerequisites, context, or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
import_sessionC
Import a thinking session from a file.
Args:
file_path: Path to the file to import
Returns:
dict: Status message
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| file_path | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must cover behavioral traits. It only states 'Import a thinking session from a file' without mentioning side effects (e.g., overwriting current session), file requirements, or error behavior.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is brief (three lines) and uses a standard Args/Returns structure. However, it is too terse to be fully effective, lacking essential details.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the absence of an output schema, the description only vaguely states 'dict: Status message'. It does not explain what the status indicates or what happens to the existing session, leaving the agent uninformed.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 0% description coverage, so the description must compensate. It merely repeats 'Path to the file to import', adding no detail about file format, size limits, or path constraints.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action (import) and the object (thinking session from a file). It is distinguishable from sibling tools like export_session, but lacks specifics on file format or source.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, no context on prerequisites or when not to use it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
process_thoughtB

Args:
thought: The content of the thought
thought_number: The sequence number of this thought
total_thoughts: The total expected thoughts in the sequence
next_thought_needed: Whether more thoughts are needed after this one
stage: The thinking stage (Problem Definition, Research, Analysis, Synthesis, Conclusion)
tags: Optional keywords or categories for the thought
axioms_used: Optional list of principles or axioms used in this thought
assumptions_challenged: Optional list of assumptions challenged by this thought
is_revision: Whether this thought revises an earlier thought
revises_thought_number: The number of the earlier thought being revised (required if is_revision is true)
branch_from_thought: The thought number this thought branches from, to explore an alternative path
branch_id: Identifier for the branch (letters, digits, '-', '_'; max 64 chars; requires branch_from_thought)

Returns:
dict: Analysis of the processed thought
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| ctx | No | ||
| tags | No | ||
| stage | Yes | ||
| thought | Yes | ||
| branch_id | No | ||
| axioms_used | No | ||
| is_revision | No | ||
| thought_number | Yes | ||
| total_thoughts | Yes | ||
| branch_from_thought | No | ||
| next_thought_needed | Yes | ||
| assumptions_challenged | No | ||
| revises_thought_number | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are present, so the description must disclose all behavioral traits. It details what the tool does but omits side effects, permission requirements, error handling, or the state modifications (e.g., appending to a thought list). The return value is only vaguely described as 'dict: Analysis of the processed thought.'
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is front-loaded with a one-line summary, then structured as a docstring with Args and Returns. It is reasonably concise, though the parameter list is lengthy. Every sentence adds value, but could be more compact.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity (13 parameters, no output schema, no annotations), the description explains each parameter but lacks guidance on the overall workflow (e.g., sequential numbering, when to set 'next_thought_needed'). The stage values are enumerated, but the return value and error conditions are unspecified.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has no property descriptions (0% coverage), so the description must compensate. The Args list provides brief explanations for each parameter, but these mostly restate the parameter names (e.g., 'thought: The content of the thought') without adding deeper semantics, constraints, or examples.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description opens with 'Add a sequential thought with its metadata,' which clearly states the action and resource. This distinguishes it from sibling tools (clear_history, export_session, generate_summary, import_session) which serve different purposes.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives. The usage is implied by the tool name and sibling context, but no exclusion criteria or when-not scenarios are provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Scored across 5 tools
Each tool has a distinct purpose: clearing history, exporting/importing sessions, generating summaries, and processing thoughts. No functional overlap.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern in snake_case (e.g., clear_history, export_session). The naming is predictable and clear.
Five tools is appropriate for a focused sequential thinking server, covering core operations without unnecessary bloat.
The tool surface covers the full lifecycle: adding thoughts (with revision and branching), clearing, exporting/importing, and generating summaries. Minor gap: lack of a dedicated edit/delete tool, but revisions handle edits.
