Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| add_commentA | Attach a root (non-reply) comment to a page, anchored to a specific passage by a {prefix, exact, suffix} text triplet so it stays pinned to the right spot as the page changes (editor+). Pass idempotency_key to make retries safe (a repeat returns the original comment instead of posting a duplicate). Use for feedback ON page content; to report problems with tela itself use submit_feedback. |
| atlas_list_projectsA | List the atlas doc-generation projects you can see (your personal ones plus those of every org you belong to). Each project carries its owner, output space, schedule, source count, and latest-run summary (status + last must-cover rate); |
| atlas_runA | Trigger a FULL doc-generation run for every source in an atlas project (project_id from atlas_list_projects): re-ingest the sources, regenerate the cited pages, and re-audit coverage. Management-level (project owner / org admin) — a run fetches the sources, spends LLM budget, and rewrites the generated subtree (creating the output space on the first run). Returns run_ids (one per source); poll each with atlas_run_status. Returns 503 ai_unavailable when the instance has no embedder/LLM configured. |
| atlas_run_statusA | Read an atlas run's status and coverage by run_id (view+). Returns the run's status + current stage and, once auditing has run, coverage (must_rate = the headline fraction of must-cover surface documented, surface_rate, gap_count + the gap list of undocumented surface items) and stats (files / surface / chunks / pages). Use to follow a run started by atlas_run to completion and judge whether the docs are complete. |
| confirm_attachment_uploadA | After the bytes have been PUT to a request_attachment_upload URL, return the stored file's serve URL + ready-to-embed |
| create_pageA | Create a page in a space (editor+). Body is markdown; tela://page/{id} links and [[Page Title]] wikilinks (resolved by title within the space) are indexed as backlinks. tela renders a rich block palette beyond plain markdown — to-do list, pull quote, callout, collapsible, tabs, kanban board, stat grid, timeline, calendar, poll, chart, embed, mermaid diagram, image, file attachment, code block, equation, inline math, table, highlight, wikilink, footnote. Prefer these over walls of text; read the tela://authoring-guide resource (or this server's instructions) for exact syntax. When asked for a presentation, slides, a slide deck, or a talk (any phrasing) — not a prose doc — set the page property deck=true (and optionally variant=) and write the body as slides separated by |
| create_spaceA | Create a space; the caller becomes its owner (write scope). |
| deck_authoring_guideA | Return the full tela deck authoring guide as markdown — every tahta layout with its required/optional fields, the components, and the style variants. Read this FIRST when creating or editing a deck (a deck=true page) so you don't guess at layouts/fields. The guide lists optional capability modules (e.g. branding, imagery); when one applies, call again with module="" to fetch that extra guidance. |
| delete_attachmentA | Detach a file from a page by attachment id (editor+; ids come from list_attachments). Soft-delete. It does NOT edit the page body, so remove any inline embed separately with update_page/patch_page. |
| delete_pageA | Delete a page (editor+). Backlinks from other pages are preserved with the last-known title. |
| delete_spaceA | Delete a space AND all its pages, comments, revisions and share links. Owner only. Irreversible. |
| edit_sheetA | Make a STRUCTURED edit to a sheet (a sheet=true page), editor+. Prefer this over update_page for sheets: you pass a typed operation and tela rewrites the Defter markdown correctly — inserting a row shifts every formula below it, deleting a column re-references the rest, so you never corrupt the grid by hand-editing text. Pass one |
| fetchA | Fetch a tela page's full text by id — the fixed-shape ChatGPT Deep Research companion to |
| find_overlapsA | Near-duplicate page PAIRS that share a near-identical passage (real merge/redirect candidates) for wiki hygiene. Optional space_id restricts to one space; threshold (0..1, default 0.92) is the minimum chunk-level similarity to count as a duplicate. |
| generate_deck_imageA | Generate an image from a prompt and attach it to a deck page (editor+), ready for a bg:/image: slot. Returns the serve URL + a |
| get_pageA | Full markdown body + metadata for a numeric page id. Includes an |
| get_spaceA | Fetch one space's metadata (id, name, slug) by id. Read-only. Use when you already hold a space_id and just need its name/slug; to discover spaces use list_spaces, to list its pages use list_pages. |
| knowledge_gapsA | The most-asked "ask your docs" questions the corpus could NOT answer — a content roadmap. Instance-admin only (exposes users' questions). Optional since_days window. |
| lint_deckA | Validate a deck page's slides against the tahta theme contract — unknown layouts, missing required fields, type/format mistakes. Run after authoring/editing a deck to catch problems before presenting. Returns structured issues per slide. For the full list of valid layouts and each layout's fields, call deck_authoring_guide. |
| list_attachmentsA | List the files attached to a page (uploads AND rclone-synced files): name, mime, byte size, a stable serve URL, an absolute download_url, and a ready-to-embed |
| list_backlinksA | List the pages that link TO the given page via [[wikilink]] / tela://page/{id} — its incoming references (read-only). Use to see what depends on a page before you edit or delete it, or to walk the explicit link graph; for semantically similar pages that don't link it, use related_pages. |
| list_pagesA | Flat page listing in a space (read-only). Pass parent_id for the direct children of one page; omit for top-level pages. Use to browse a space's structure or find a page_id; to find pages by keyword use |
| list_sharesA | List a page's public share links (editor+): id, token, absolute url, has_password, include_descendants, expires_at, revoked_at. Active links only by default; pass include_revoked to also see revoked ones. Tokens are bearer secrets, so this needs a write-scoped key. |
| list_spacesA | List every space the API key can access (id, name, slug). Read-only. Start here to discover a |
| move_pageA | Move a page: reparent (parent_id), detach to top-level (make_root), reorder (position), and/or relocate to another space (space_id). Editor+ in both source and target space. Provide at least one of space_id / parent_id / make_root / position. |
| patch_pageA | Surgically edit ONE section of a page instead of rewriting the whole body (editor+). First call get_page format:"map" to see the section paths, then patch the target. Cheaper and safer than update_page on a long page — it never touches the rest of the document. Snapshots a revision like any edit. |
| preview_deckA | Render a deck page to slide images and return them, so you can SEE how the deck looks (don't author blind). Pass |
| read_chunkA | Fetch one chunk's full section text by chunk_id (from a |
| related_pagesA | Pages semantically related to a given page ("see also"), ranked by similarity — discovery beyond explicit links (read-only). Use for topically similar pages; for pages that explicitly link this one, use list_backlinks. Works without a live embedder (uses stored vectors). |
| request_attachment_uploadA | Get a short-lived signed PUT URL to upload a file WITHOUT sending its bytes through the model context — for files over upload_attachment's 5 MB inline cap, or to avoid context bloat. Flow: call this → the host PUTs the raw bytes to the returned |
| researchA | Answer a question — or gather everything relevant on a topic — from the wiki by MEANING. One call assembles answer-ready grounding: the full bodies of the pages that matter (not isolated fragments), pulled from pages AND attached files (PDFs, docs), plus any flagged disagreements among the sources and a low_confidence signal. Returns |
| revoke_shareA | Disable a public share link by its share id (editor+; ids come from list_shares). The link stops working immediately. Idempotent — revoking an already-revoked link is a no-op. |
| searchA | Keyword (full-text) lookup over title + body, ranked + snippet-highlighted. Use to find a page you can name or that contains an exact term/identifier/error string. Works WITHOUT an embedder (always available). Optional space_id narrows to one space. To answer a question or gather material on a topic by meaning, use |
| share_pageA | Mint a public share link for a page — a URL anyone can open with NO tela login (editor+). Returns the absolute |
| sheet_authoring_guideA | Return the full tela spreadsheet (sheet) authoring guide as markdown — the Defter text format, coordinates, the formula functions, and the ```defter-style styling/format/chart syntax. Read this FIRST when creating or editing a sheet (a sheet=true page) so you write valid, well-formatted Defter markdown instead of guessing. |
| submit_feedbackA | Submit free-text feedback about tela / tela-mcp itself (friction, bugs, missing capabilities). NOT for page content — use add_comment for that. |
| suggest_linksA | Given draft text (a page you're writing), return existing pages it should link to, by semantic similarity. Use while authoring to wire a new page into the knowledge base instead of leaving it an orphan. Requires a configured embedder. |
| treat_deck_imageA | Make an image tahta-grade for a deck's variant (editor+): crop to 16:9, apply a scheme-aware duotone (palette-lock), grain, and an optional contrast scrim. Upload the source with upload_attachment first, then pass its attachment_id; the treated JPEG is saved as a new attachment and returned with a ready-to-place |
| update_pageA | Patch a page's title and/or body (editor+). A body change auto-snapshots a revision. tela renders a rich block palette beyond plain markdown — to-do list, pull quote, callout, collapsible, tabs, kanban board, stat grid, timeline, calendar, poll, chart, embed, mermaid diagram, image, file attachment, code block, equation, inline math, table, highlight, wikilink, footnote. Prefer these over walls of text; read the tela://authoring-guide resource (or this server's instructions) for exact syntax. When asked for a presentation, slides, a slide deck, or a talk (any phrasing) — not a prose doc — set the page property deck=true (and optionally variant=) and write the body as slides separated by |
| update_spaceA | Patch a space's name and/or slug (editor+); idempotent — pass only the field(s) you want to change. Changing the slug updates the space's URL path (existing page ids and links still resolve). To create a space use create_space, to read it use get_space, to remove it use delete_space. |
| upload_attachmentA | Upload a file (base64) and attach it to a page (editor+) — an image, PDF, dataset, etc. Returns the serve URL plus a ready-to-paste |
