Tools

Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions

NameDescription
quarto_create_projectA

Create a temporary Quarto project and write initial files into it. Returns an opaque projectId that is valid only while this server process runs.

quarto_renderA

Render the project, or one input file. Code execution is off unless execute is true. A Quarto failure is reported as success: false, with stdout and stderr preserved.

quarto_inspectA

Return Quarto's inspect JSON for the project, or for one input file. The output is passed through without field changes.

quarto_defaults_getA

Return the Quarto metadata that every new project receives as _metadata.yml, and the path of the file that holds it. An absent file returns empty metadata.

quarto_defaults_setA

Store Quarto metadata, such as author, affiliation, and ORCID, for every new project. The call replaces the whole file. Send empty metadata to clear the defaults.
