Tools

Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions

NameDescription
lookup_dictionaryA

Look up a Chinese word or phrase in CC-CEDICT (12.5万条目，含简繁双码), optionally augmented by a project whitelist. Returns definitions, pinyin, and structured tags (has_figurative / is_neologism / is_slang / has_idiom_marker / has_literal_only).

Use cases:

  • Detect whether a Chinese figurative expression has been lexicalized (dead metaphor → intended sense in dictionary) or is creative (live metaphor → not in dictionary).

  • Verify neologisms / slang acceptability.

  • Look up idiom (成语 / 典故) figurative senses.

Returns JSON with: word, found_in_cedict, found_in_whitelist, simplified, traditional, pinyin, definitions, tags, whitelist_note.

TDQS

A4.4/5.0

Scored across 1 tool

Disambiguation5/5

Only one tool exists, so there is no risk of confusion between tools.

Naming Consistency5/5

With a single tool, naming is trivially consistent.

Tool Count4/5

A single lookup tool is appropriate for a dictionary server, though additional tools for batch lookup or word management could be justified.

Completeness5/5

The tool provides comprehensive coverage: lookup with definitions, pinyin, tags, and support for neologisms, idioms, and figurative language.
