Tools

Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions

NameDescription
list_log_files

Lists all log files in $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/log. Use this FIRST when user says 'inspect', 'inspector', 'logs', or reports errors/problems. This is the entry point for log inspection - discover available logs before using other tools.

get_log_content

Returns the content of a specific log file from $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/log. Use this to inspect runtime logs when debugging errors or investigating problems. For large files, use read_log_paginated instead.

read_log_paginated

Reads a paginated portion of a log file. Useful for large log files. Uses token-based pagination to respect AI context limits. Tracks file modifications to detect changes between pagination calls.

search_log_file

Searches a log file using regex pattern and returns matching lines with surrounding context. Supports token-based pagination to respect AI context limits.

head_log

Reads the beginning of a log file (like Unix 'head' command). Uses token-based pagination to respect AI context limits.

tail_log

Reads the end of a log file (like Unix 'tail' command). Uses token-based pagination to respect AI context limits. Ideal for checking recent log entries.

read_log_range

Reads a specific range of lines from a log file. Uses token-based pagination to respect AI context limits.

find_errors

Quickly finds error lines in a log file by matching common error patterns (ERROR, Exception, FATAL, Failed, Traceback, panic, etc.). Ideal for quick diagnostics.
