Tools

Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions

NameDescription
list_treeC

Cached hierarchy tech -> version -> topics (names + flags, no content).

check_referenceB

Cheap existence/freshness check. No content. Omit version for the latest.

get_referenceA

Full cached doc for a slug. Optional section returns one heading block.

search_referenceA

Full-text search over cached references when the exact topic is unknown.

save_researchB

Store host-researched docs. Supersedes older versions atomically.

Only tech/topic/summary/content are required. Omit version for a general (not version-bound) reference; status_tag defaults to "current".

Response includes possible_duplicates when a similar topic already exists for this tech — reuse or consolidate instead of forking naming.

invalidate_referenceC

Force a reference stale so the next check advises re-research.

check_for_updateA

Whether a newer server version exists on GitHub.

If update_available, the host should delegate a background agent to run the returned command so the server stays current.

Prompts
