Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| localesA | List locales with file/key counts and parse problems. |
| keysA | List translation key paths; filter by locale and/or prefix. |
| get_keyA | Get a key's values across locales, with the file each lives in. |
| searchB | Substring search over translation keys (optionally values). |
| set_keyA | Create or update a key per locale. Writes to the key's current file, the nearest prefix's file, or the locale default. Warns on %{placeholder} mismatch. |
| delete_keyA | Delete a key from locales (default: all); prunes empty parents. |
| missingA | Audit keys: missing per locale, empty values, %{placeholder} mismatches vs base locale (default: en). |

TDQS
Scored across 7 tools
Each tool has a clear, distinct role: listing locales, listing keys, fetching a specific key, searching, setting, deleting, and auditing. No two tools appear to do the same thing.
Tool names follow a consistent, predictable pattern: plural nouns for listing actions (keys, locales), and verb_noun for operations (get_key, set_key, delete_key). The one outlier, 'missing', is still clear as an audit verb.
Seven tools is a well-scoped count for an i18n management server, covering the essential operations without bloat.
The toolset provides full lifecycle coverage for translation keys: read (keys, get_key, search), write (set_key), delete (delete_key), and audit (missing, locales). Minor operations like rename/move are possible via set+delete, so no dead ends.
