OpenReflex

Enable OpenReflex capture for this project. Returns: one line confirming the project is enabled, or 'Not approved' when confirm is false. Use when: the user explicitly asks to enable OpenReflex here. Never call it on your own initiative; the user can also run openreflex approve, and openreflex revoke disables capture again. Not for: anything else; every other tool answers with a 'not enabled' message until this has happened. Side effects: writes the project's approval to the local OpenReflex home; enabling an already enabled project changes nothing. Touches no project files. Errors: none.

Estimate whether more work on the current task's path is still worth it. Returns: plain text starting with 'Recommendation: continue', 'pivot' or 'stop', then the success estimates for the current path and the best alternative, the marginal value of each option, the execution budget and how much of it is used, and any detected problems (failure loop, repeated calls, stalled progress, context growth, budget overrun). Use when: unsure mid-task whether to keep going. Follow 'pivot' by switching to the named strategy; follow 'stop' by summarizing what was tried and asking the user. Not for: planning a task (use get_execution_context). Side effects: none; read-only on the most recent task. Errors: asks for get_execution_context first when no task exists; a 'not enabled' message until the project is approved.

Declare the strategy you are following for the most recent task. Returns: one line, 'Recorded chosen path: '. Use when: deliberately departing from the suggested path, so OpenReflex remembers what was actually done rather than confusing the recommendation with the observed work. Not for: tasks that follow the suggestion; the path is then inferred from tool activity. Side effects: writes the choice to the local Experience Graph; calling it again replaces the earlier choice. Touches no project files. Errors: 'No current execution' before any task was planned (call get_execution_context first); a 'not enabled' message until the project is approved.

Explain OpenReflex's latest recommendation for the most recent task. Returns: plain text with the recommended strategy, the Reflex Score (0-100: how strong the recommendation is, not the chance of success), the estimated success probability, confidence, the signals behind the score, the next-best strategy with its route advantage, and the policy version. Use when: the user asks why OpenReflex suggested a path, pivot or stop. Not for: the same numbers as structured data (use get_reflex_score) or every decision in order (use get_execution_trace). Side effects: none; read-only. Errors: 'No decision snapshot recorded yet' before any task was planned; a 'not enabled' message until the project is approved.

Show one Experience Graph node with its direct relations. Returns: structured 'root', 'nodes' (Task, Execution, ToolCall, Outcome, Experience, Lesson, Context or CandidatePath and their stored fields) and typed 'edges' (used, caused, failed_with, resolved_by, recommended_for). Embeddings are omitted. Use when: tracing why a lesson or recommendation exists, after finding an id with search_experience or get_execution_context. Not for: searching by topic (use search_experience). Side effects: none; read-only. Errors: an MCP error reports 'Unknown graph node' for an id that does not exist, and an MCP error is returned until the project is approved.

Delete one past task from this project's memory. Returns: one line listing what was removed (task, executions, tool calls, outcomes, experience, lessons), or 'Not forgotten' when confirm is false. Use when: the user explicitly asks to forget a specific past task, for example one that involved sensitive work or taught a wrong lesson. Never call it on your own initiative. Not for: deleting everything; the user runs openreflex forget --yes for that. Side effects: permanently removes that task's nodes from the local Experience Graph; other tasks are untouched. Touches no project files. Errors: 'Unknown experience id' for an id that does not exist, is not an experience, or was already forgotten; a 'not enabled' message until the project is approved.

Show every candidate path OpenReflex considered for the most recent task side by side. Returns: plain text with each strategy's score, success probability, cost/risk numbers, and whether it was dominated; which path was recommended; and which one was actually followed - explicit (via choose_path), inferred from tool-call evidence, or not yet determined while the execution is still running. Use when: the user asks what other approaches were considered, or whether the agent followed the suggested path. Not for: a single recommendation's reasoning (use explain_decision) or the decision timeline (use get_execution_trace). Side effects: none; read-only. Errors: 'No execution recorded yet' before any task was planned; a 'not enabled' message until the project is approved.

Plan a task from this project's past experience. Returns: plain text with the learned project Reflex procedure when one applies; otherwise a neutral working approach, relevant past experience, budget, likely files/sources and lessons. Internal strategy names and candidate scores are deliberately omitted from this normal surface; use get_candidate_paths for diagnostics. Use when: starting any substantial coding, investigation, research, analysis, review, planning or reasoning task and no [OpenReflex] block was injected. Not for: looking up history (use search_experience) or checking progress mid-task (use check_progress). Side effects: starts or re-plans the current task in the local Experience Graph; touches no project files, runs no commands, sends nothing over the network. Calling it again for the same task returns the same plan unless new limits are given. Errors: invalid non-positive limits are rejected by the input schema; a 'not enabled' message is returned until the project is approved.

Return the decision timeline of the most recent task. Returns: plain text, one line per decision in order, with elapsed time, phase (start, runtime, complete), action, strategy, Reflex Score and the event that triggered it. Never includes prompts, commands or tool output. Use when: reviewing how a task unfolded. Not for: only the latest decision (use explain_decision). Side effects: none; read-only. Errors: 'No decision snapshots recorded yet' before any task was planned; a 'not enabled' message until the project is approved.

Summarize what OpenReflex has recorded and learned in this project. Returns: structured activation, engagement, experience reuse, outcomes, observational efficiency with and without prior experience, path-comparison trends, routing agreement, live alerts, execution-control metrics and lesson count. Efficiency comparisons are observational and are not presented as causal evidence. Use when: the user asks how OpenReflex is doing in this project or a program needs project-level metrics. Not for: individual past tasks (use search_experience). Side effects: none; read-only. Errors: an MCP error is returned until the project is approved.

Show the project Reflex and specialised procedures OpenReflex is learning from repeated work. Returns: the root Project Reflex after the first captured experience, plus specialised Reflexes with learning/learned/proven/stale maturity, support/verification counts and procedure steps. Use when: the user asks what OpenReflex has learned specifically about this project, which reusable procedures exist, or how a named Reflex works. Not for: backend routing internals or generic strategies (use get_candidate_paths for those diagnostics). Side effects: may refresh derived local Reflex data from already-captured evidence; touches no project files. Errors: a 'not enabled' message is returned until the project is approved.

Return the latest decision's Reflex Score and machine-readable components. Returns: structured fields for availability, Reflex Score (0-100 recommendation strength, not success probability), success probability, confidence, strategy, next-best strategy, route advantage, evidence, context cost, budget use, component signals and policy version. If no decision exists, available=false and reason explains why. Use when: a program or agent needs decision numbers it can inspect without parsing prose. Not for: a readable explanation (use explain_decision) or the full decision timeline (use get_execution_trace). Side effects: none; read-only. Errors: an MCP error is returned until the project is approved.

Record the verified outcome of the most recent task and learn from it. Returns: the recorded status plus a plain-language Path check. A better path is only named when comparable completed tasks provide evidence; otherwise the result says that no better option is proven. Use when: the result is confirmed: tests/lint/build passed, research was cross-checked against relevant evidence, the user confirmed the answer, or the task failed/was abandoned. Not for: declaring the strategy (use choose_path). Side effects: finalizes the task in the local Experience Graph and updates its experience, lessons and path comparison; calling it again for the same task replaces the recorded outcome. Touches no project files. Errors: 'No execution to record an outcome for' before any task was planned; a 'not enabled' message until the project is approved.

Search this project's past tasks by description similarity. Returns: structured 'experiences' (id, score, description, class, agent, strategy, status, tool_calls, minutes, files), best match first, plus structured 'lessons' (text, confidence, support). Both lists are empty when nothing is similar enough. Use when: the user asks what was learned or what worked before, or to find an experience id for explain_node or forget_experience. Not for: planning a new task (use get_execution_context). Side effects: none; read-only. Matching is lexical, on task descriptions only. Errors: invalid limit values are rejected by the input schema; an MCP error is returned until the project is approved.
