The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
calculate_kpi Calculate a mapped KPI over bundled sample data ~224
UNOFFICIAL: computes one of the KPIs from get_kpi_mapping using this server's own derived FOCUS-terms formula, over a bundled sample dataset — never user-supplied data. The default version (1.2) bundles only this project's seeded synthetic sample; pass version:'1.0' to compute over the official FOCUS-Sample-Data sample. Not every mapped KPI has a registered formula: some need an external input (a forecast or budget figure) FOCUS doesn't carry, or ambiguous free-text unit matching this server won't guess at; those error with guidance instead.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| kpi | string | yes | Framework KPI slug, e.g. 'effective-savings-rate-percentage' |
| sample | string | – | Which bundled sample to compute over; defaults to 'official' where the version has one (currently only 1.0), else 'synthetic'. Requesting 'official' for a version without one errors. |
| version | string | – | FOCUS spec version (1.0|1.2); default "1.2" |

compare_versions Compare FOCUS 1.0 to 1.2 ~94
The 1.0→1.2 column diff — an UNOFFICIAL derivation computed by this server from the two tagged spec releases, source-cited per entry. Without `column`: the full diff (14 added, 0 removed, 43 changed). With `column`: that one column's status and detail.

get_attribute Get one FOCUS attribute ~131
Full record for one cross-cutting FOCUS attribute (naming/formatting conventions like currency codes, datetime format, key-value format): description, normative requirements, exceptions. Look up by the `attribute` parameter — an attribute ID or its lowercase slug, e.g. 'datetime_format'. Attribute names can change between versions; discover current slugs via search_focus with entity_types=['attribute'].
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| attribute | string | yes | Attribute ID or slug, e.g. 'datetime_format' |
| version | string | – | FOCUS spec version (1.0|1.2); default "1.2" |

get_column Get one FOCUS column ~118
Full record for one FOCUS column: description, content constraints (type, feature level, nulls, data type, value format), allowed values, normative requirements, and the version it was introduced in. Look up by the `column` parameter — a Column ID or its lowercase slug, e.g. 'BilledCost'.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| column | string | yes | Column ID or slug, e.g. 'BilledCost' |
| version | string | – | FOCUS spec version (1.0|1.2); default "1.2" |

get_kpi_mapping Get the KPI-to-FOCUS-column mapping ~186
UNOFFICIAL, derived-by-this-server mapping from framework KPIs (effective savings rate, commitment discounts, forecast accuracy, unit economics, allocation, variance) to the FOCUS columns needed to compute each, with a FOCUS-terms formula translation. Not published or endorsed by the FinOps Foundation or the FOCUS project. Filter by `kpi` slug or `capability` slug (if both are passed, `kpi` wins and `capability` is ignored), or pass neither to list everything for a `version`.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| capability | string | – | Framework capability slug to filter by, e.g. 'rate-optimization' |
| kpi | string | – | Framework KPI slug, e.g. 'effective-savings-rate-percentage' |

list_columns List FOCUS columns ~136
All columns for one spec version, optionally filtered by feature_level (Mandatory|Conditional|Recommended) or column_type (Metric|Dimension); the extra enum value 'unknown' is a crawler parse fallback that matches no column in the shipped data. Default limit returns the full list in one call (43 in 1.0, 57 in 1.2).
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| column_type | string | – | – |
