Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| kiota_searchB | Search for API descriptions using Kiota's search functionality. Returns a list of APIs with their names, descriptions, and OpenAPI specification URLs. |
| kiota_downloadA | Download an OpenAPI specification from a URL to a local file. Validates the downloaded specification. |
| kiota_client_addB | Add a new API client configuration to the workspace. Creates an entry in kiota-config.json. |
| kiota_client_editA | Update an existing API client configuration in the Kiota workspace. Allows changing language, output path, or other settings without regenerating code. |
| kiota_client_generateA | Generate API client code from a configured client in the Kiota workspace. Automatically uses --ebc flag for error-based cancellation and runs kiota info to determine required dependencies. |
| kiota_client_removeA | Remove an API client configuration from the Kiota workspace. Optionally cleans up generated code files. |
| kiota_infoA | Query information about supported languages, their capabilities, and required dependencies for an API. |

TDQS
Scored across 7 tools
Each tool performs a distinct operation: searching APIs, downloading specs, adding/editing/generating/removing clients, and querying language info. There is no overlap in functionality between tools.
Naming consistently uses the 'kiota_' prefix, with a 'client_' sub-namespace for client operations. However, general verbs like 'search', 'download', and 'info' are not preceded by a domain noun, creating a slight inconsistency with the noun-verb pattern used for client tools.
Seven tools is well-scoped for the Kiota workflow, covering all major steps from API discovery to code generation without unnecessary bloat.
The set covers search, download, client lifecycle (add/edit/generate/remove), and info, but lacks a way to list existing client configurations. This is a notable gap that could force agents to guess or manipulate config files directly.
