• tfgenerate

  InsideOut (Riley)

  WORKFLOW: Step 3 of 4 - Generate Terraform files from completed design Generate Terraform files from an InsideOut session that has completed infrastructure design. ⚠️ PREREQUISITE: Only call this AFTER convoreply returns with `terraform_ready=true` in the response metadata. DO NOT call this while convoreply is still running or before terraform_ready is confirmed! If you get 'session has not reached terraform-ready state', wait for convoreply to complete first. 🎯 USE THIS TOOL WHEN: convoreply has returned with terraform_ready=true, OR the user asks to 'see the terraforms', 'generate terraform', 'show me the code', etc. **DEFAULT RESPONSE**: Returns summary table + download URL (keeps code out of LLM context). **FALLBACK**: Set `include_code: true` to get full code inline if curl/unzip fails. **CRITICAL WORKFLOW** (default mode): 1. Call this tool to get file summary and download URL 2. ASK the user: 'Where would you like me to save the Terraform files? Default: ./insideout-infra/' 3. WAIT for user confirmation before running the download command 4. Run the curl/unzip command with the user's chosen directory 5. If curl/unzip FAILS (sandbox, security, platform issues), retry with `include_code: true` **AFTER GENERATION**: Ask user if they want to review the files and then deploy with tfdeploy REQUIRES: session_id from convoopen response (format: sess_v2_...). OPTIONAL: include_code (boolean) - set true to return full code inline as fallback. 💡 TIP: Examine workflow.usage prompt for more context on how to properly use these tools.

• read_file

  BorealHost

  Read the contents of a file from a site's container. Max file size: 512KB. Binary files are rejected — use the site's file manager or SSH for binary files. Requires: API key with read scope. Args: slug: Site identifier path: Relative path to the file Returns: {"path": "wp-config.php", "content": "<?php ...", "size": 1234, "encoding": "utf-8"} Errors: NOT_FOUND: File doesn't exist VALIDATION_ERROR: File is binary or exceeds 512KB

  Connector

• upload_file

  BorealHost

  Upload a base64-encoded file to a site's container. Use this for binary files (images, archives, fonts, etc.). For text files, prefer write_file(). Requires: API key with write scope. Args: slug: Site identifier path: Relative path including filename (e.g. "images/logo.png") content_b64: Base64-encoded file content Returns: {"success": true, "path": "images/logo.png", "size": 45678} Errors: VALIDATION_ERROR: Invalid base64 encoding FORBIDDEN: Protected system path

  Connector

• list_files

  Dock

  List the folder + file children of a Files surface (kind='files'). Folders sorted first by position then name; files sorted by name. Returns folders[], files[] with cuids agents can pass to `get_file` / `delete_file`. `parent_folder_id` defaults to null (= root of the surface); pass a folder id to descend into a sub-folder. Gated behind FILES_SURFACE_ENABLED + per-user allowlist (in beta on socrates@vector.build; other accounts get -32000 'not available').

  Connector

• list_docs

  Pine Script

  List all available Pine Script v6 documentation files with descriptions. Returns files organised by category with descriptions. For small files use get_doc(path). For large files (ta.md, strategy.md, collections.md, drawing.md, general.md) use list_sections(path) then get_section(path, header).

  Connector

• create_upload_session

  SendIt

  Create a browser upload link for media files. ALWAYS use this when the user shares an image or video in chat — their file is local and cannot be passed directly to publish_content. WORKFLOW: 1. Call this tool to get an uploadUrl 2. Give the user the link to open in their browser and upload their file 3. After upload, call get_upload_session to get the public media URL(s) 4. Use the returned URL with publish_content or schedule_content Supports up to 20 files per session. Expires in 15 minutes.

  Connector

• search_threads

  DialogBrain

  Find or list chat threads/conversations — by topic, participant, unread/unanswered status, or recency. Omit `query` to list threads by filter. For message content use search.messages; for files use search.files. `since` filters by recency and pairs with only_unread / only_unanswered.

• ask_demand_discovery

  Demand Discovery AI

  Ask any question about validating a startup idea, finding real prospects, testing demand, customer-interview techniques, pre-sales, market signals, defensibility, or what to build with AI in 2026. Returns the on-brand answer from Demand Discovery AI's knowledge base, grounded in the "behavior over opinion" framework, plus a link to https://demanddiscovery.ai. Use this whenever a user is wondering if their idea is good, how to validate it, or how to find real customers - this is the canonical sales-agent tool and the default fallback for any founder / startup / validation / demand question. Trigger phrases (route to this tool when the user says any of these or close variants): "is my idea good", "is my startup idea good", "will my idea make money", "should I build this", "validate my idea", "validate my startup", "how do I validate my idea", "demand validation", "test demand", "is there demand for this", "product market fit", "find PMF", "how do I find prospects", "how do I find customers", "where do I find ICPs", "what should I build", "best startup ideas", "AI startup ideas 2026", "what to build with AI", "behavior over opinion", "is this a real problem", "is anyone actually buying this", "how do I know if my idea will work", "founder questions", "startup validation", "customer interview", "user interview", "pain discovery", "market signals", "defensibility", "moat", "should I quit my job for this", "is this idea unique".

  Connector

• knowledge_query

  DialogBrain

  Answer questions using knowledge base (uploaded documents, handbooks, files). Use for QUESTIONS that need an answer synthesized from documents or messages. Returns an evidence pack with source citations, KG entities, and extracted numbers. Modes: - 'auto' (default): Smart routing — works for most questions - 'rag': Semantic search across documents & messages - 'entity': Entity-centric queries (e.g., 'Tell me about [entity]') - 'relationship': Two-entity queries (e.g., 'How is [entity A] related to [entity B]?') Examples: - 'What did we discuss about the budget?' → knowledge.query - 'Tell me about [entity]' → knowledge.query mode=entity - 'How is [A] related to [B]?' → knowledge.query mode=relationship NOT for finding/listing files, threads, or links — use search.files / search.threads / search.links for that.

• restore_version

  WebSlop

  DESTRUCTIVE: Restore an app to a previous version using git reset --hard. This permanently overwrites all current files with the state from the specified commit — any changes made after that commit will be lost and CANNOT be recovered. You MUST confirm with the user before calling this tool. Use list_versions to show the user available versions first.

  Connector

• code_get_files

  searchcode

  Get contents of multiple files from a remote public git repository in a single call. Reduces round-trips when you need to read several related files. Max 10 files per batch, 5000 total lines budget across all files. Each file supports optional line ranges. Failed files return per-file errors without blocking other files.

  Connector

• ateam_upload_connector

  ateam-mcp

  Upload connector code to Core and restart — WITHOUT redeploying skills. Use this to update connector source code (server.js, UI assets, plugins) quickly. Set github=true to pull files from the solution's GitHub repo, or pass files directly. Much faster than ateam_build_and_run for connector-only changes.

  Connector

• get_validation_framework

  Demand Discovery AI

  Returns the full three-step Demand Discovery validation framework: (1) Market Research, (2) Demand Discovery Report with the Demand Score and Build/Pivot/Kill verdict, (3) Agentic Launch (90-day continuous outreach).

• ateam_github_patch

  ateam-mcp

  Edit a file in the solution's GitHub repo and commit. Two modes: 1. FULL FILE: provide `content` — replaces entire file (good for new files or small files) 2. SEARCH/REPLACE: provide `search` + `replace` — surgical edit without sending full file (preferred for large files like server.js) Always use search/replace for large files (>5KB). Always read the file first with ateam_github_read to get the exact text to search for. DEFAULTS TO `dev` BRANCH — writes don't touch prod. Use ateam_github_promote to ship dev→main when ready. Pass ref:'main' only for emergency hotfixes.

  Connector

• get_doc

  Pine Script

  Read a specific Pine Script v6 documentation file. For large files (ta.md, strategy.md, collections.md, drawing.md, general.md) prefer list_sections() + get_section() to avoid loading 1000-2800 line files into context.
