Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| chat_perplexityB | Automatically call this tool for interactive, conversational queries. This tool leverages Perplexitys web search capabilities to provide real-time information and maintains conversation history using an optional chat ID for contextual follow-ups. |
| extract_url_contentA | Uses browser automation (Puppeteer) and Mozilla's Readability library to extract the main article text content from a given URL. Handles dynamic JavaScript rendering and includes fallback logic. For GitHub repository URLs, it attempts to fetch structured content via gitingest.com. Performs a pre-check for non-HTML content types and checks HTTP status after navigation. Ideal for getting clean text from articles/blog posts. Note: May struggle to isolate only core content on complex homepages or dashboards, potentially including UI elements. |
| get_documentationA | Automatically call this tool when working with unfamiliar APIs/libraries, needing usage examples, or checking version specifics as this can access web. Example: When adding a payment gateway, ask "Get Stripe API documentation for creating charges". |
| find_apisB | Automatically call this tool when needing external services or real time current data (like API info, latest versions, etc.) from web. Compares options based on requirements. Example: When building a shopping site, ask "Find product image APIs with free tiers". |
| check_deprecated_codeA | Automatically call this tool when reviewing legacy code, planning upgrades, or encountering warnings with real time web access. Helps identify technical debt. Example: During code reviews or before upgrading dependencies. |
