Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| search_rulesA | Semantic search across all SSW Rules (https://ssw.com.au/rules). Returns matching rules with title, URL, description, and relevance score. Requires Qdrant to be running and indexed (run 'ssw-rules index' first). Falls back to text search if Qdrant is unavailable. |
| get_ruleA | Get the full content of a specific SSW Rule by its URI slug. Returns the rule's title, URL, metadata, and full cleaned markdown content. The content has JSX components stripped for clean reading. |
| list_categoriesB | List all SSW Rules categories in the hierarchy. Returns top-level categories (e.g. Software Engineering, Communication) with their subcategories and rule counts. |
| get_category_rulesA | Get all rules in a specific category. Works for both top-level categories (returns all rules across subcategories) and subcategories (returns just that subcategory's rules). |
| get_recent_rulesC | Get recently updated SSW Rules. |

TDQS
Scored across 5 tools
Each tool targets a distinct retrieval mode: recent updates, semantic search, full rule content by slug, category hierarchy, and category-filtered rules. There is no overlap that would lead an agent to misselect.
All tools follow a clear snake_case verb_noun pattern (get_recent_rules, search_rules, get_rule, list_categories, get_category_rules). Minor verb variation between get and list is standard and predictable.
Five tools form a tight, well-scoped set for a read-only rules knowledge base. No redundant or missing operations are apparent at this scale.
The set covers discovery (recent, search, categories) and retrieval (full rule content, category-filtered lists). For a read-only reference, the surface is complete with no dead ends.
