## MCP tools (3)

### `get_default_compass` (~328 tokens)

Generate the canonical Magnifica Humanitas AI system prompt — ready to paste into Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or any AI assistant. Call this when the user wants Catholic family values in their AI assistant, mentions wanting "Catholic AI guidance", or asks to generate a "family AI prompt". Default returns English, expanded format (~1600 tokens) covering all 13 principles + adult audience guidance. Use `format=compact` (~720 tokens) for token-constrained models. Use `lang` to pick one of 15 supported languages — pick the language the AI will be addressed in, NOT necessarily the user's UI language. Use `audiences` (comma-separated: adults,teenagers,children) to specialize for mixed-age families. After returning, instruct the user to paste the `data.compass` field into their assistant's Custom Instructions field. The response's `_links` field points at related resources (principles, traceability, wizard) the agent can chain to.

Input parameters:

- `audiences` (string): Comma-separated audience sections to append. Use 'adults' (default), 'teenagers' (13-17), 'children' (under 13). Combine for mixed-age families, e.g. 'adults,teenagers'.
- `format` (string): 'expanded' (default, ~1600 tokens) for richer guidance; 'compact' (~720 tokens) when the user mentions token constraints.
- `lang` (string): BCP 47 language tag for the prompt. Default "en". Pick the language the AI will be addressed in.

### `list_principles` (~161 tokens)

Return the 13 Catholic Social Doctrine principles distilled from Magnifica Humanitas, organized by tier (Foundational / Classical CSD / AI-Distinctive). Each principle includes its key, Magnifica Humanitas paragraph references, and translations in all 15 supported languages (name, short description, operational system-prompt text, and a direct MH quote). Call this when the user asks 'what are the principles', 'what's in the compass', 'tell me about Catholic Social Doctrine', OR when the agent needs to explain WHY the compass says what it says (the principle keys + MH paragraph references support inline citations). The response's `_links` field points at /api/traceability if the user wants to dig deeper into encyclical source.

### `get_traceability` (~209 tokens)

Return the per-principle mapping back to specific Magnifica Humanitas paragraphs, with convergence scores from 4 independent extraction methods. All 13 principles converge at 4/4 (strong consensus across distillation methods). Call this when the user asks 'where does this come from in the encyclical', 'cite the source', 'show me the paragraph numbers', OR when an agent needs to build a citation footnote for academic or pastoral use. Use `format=summary` for compact citation lookup (principle key → MH paragraph range). Use `format=full` (default) for trust/integrity evaluation with per-method convergence detail. The response's `_validation.allConvergence` should be "4/4" — anything lower is a flag for follow-up review.

Input parameters:

- `format` (string): 'full' (default) returns per-method convergence detail. 'summary' returns just the principle-key → MH-paragraph mapping (smaller, faster, fine for citation lookup).
