Available Tools

The server exposes this minimal tool surface:

• get_index -- compact product/version/sample index with selection guidance

• search -- semantic search across docs and samples (also accepts exact sample IDs)

• list_samples -- browse available samples for a product/edition/platform

• resolve_version -- resolve current version for a product/edition/platform

• get_quickstart -- opinionated quickstart: picks a sample by scenario, returns code + install instructions

• get_sample_files -- get full project files for a known sample (discovered via list_samples or search)

Advanced Configuration And Operator Docs

Advanced settings, CI/runbook details, and maintenance workflows live in:

• AGENTS.md

• .env.example
