| romm_statusA | Check RomM MCP server configuration and reachability. |
| romm_statsA | Get library statistics — platform count, ROM count, saves, total size. |
| romm_platformsA | List platforms with ROM counts. |
| romm_library_itemsA | Browse ROMs — filter by platform, search term, or favorites. Paginated. platform_id: Filter to a single platform (use romm_platforms to find IDs). 0 = all. search: Text search in ROM names. favorite: Show only favorites (default: false). limit: Items per page (default 25, max 100). offset: Skip this many items (default 0). order_by: Sort field — "name", "fs_size_bytes", "updated_at" (default: name). order_dir: "asc" or "desc" (default: asc). |
| romm_recentA | Recently added or updated ROMs. limit: Number of results (default 20, max 100). |
| romm_get_itemA | Get full detail for a single ROM — metadata, user status, saves. rom_id: The ROM's ID (from romm_library_items or romm_search). |
| romm_searchA | Search ROMs by name across the library. query: Search term (required). platform_id: Filter to a single platform (0 = all). limit: Max results (default 20). |
| romm_search_by_hashC | Identify a ROM by file hash. Provide at least one hash value. crc_hash: CRC32 hash string. md5_hash: MD5 hash string. sha1_hash: SHA1 hash string. |
| romm_filtersA | Get available filter values for ROM browsing — genres, regions, languages, tags. |

| romm_devicesA | List registered devices (handhelds, emulators, etc.). |
| romm_tasksA | Check running and scheduled task status. |
