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 →
assess_maturity_path Maturity gap between two levels ~113
For one capability, the official maturity assessment text at each level between current and target — evidence to look for when maturing. To get one level's assessment text on its own (or all three at once), use get_maturity_assessment instead.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| capability | string | yes | Capability slug, e.g. 'allocation' |
| current_level | string | yes | Starting maturity level, exclusive — the gap begins above this |
| target_level | string | yes | Ending maturity level, inclusive — must be above current_level |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| capability | string | yes | – |
| gap | array | yes | – |
No examples provided.
get_capability Get one capability ~158
One capability's content, section-selectable via `include` to control size. Default include is [summary, definition] (~1-2k tokens). Approximate extra cost per section: maturity ~2.5k tokens, activities ~3k (filter with `persona`), kpis ~1k, headline_groups/inputs_outputs <1k; requesting ALL sections is roughly 7k tokens — prefer the finops://framework/capabilities/{slug} resource for the full document.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| capability | string | yes | Capability slug, e.g. 'allocation' |
| include | array | – | Sections to return (default [summary, definition]) |
| persona | string | – | With include:['activities']: return only this persona's activities |

| sections | object | yes | – |
| slug | string | yes | – |
| source_url | string | yes | – |
| title | string | yes | – |
| uri | string | yes | – |
No examples provided.
get_changelog Data changelog ~92
What changed between data versions of this server's crawled artifact (rolling window of the 20 most recent refreshes — the crawler caps the log at 20, so this tool covers the full retained history; the same data is at finops://framework/meta/changelog). Reflects crawl-to-crawl differences in finops.org content, not a Foundation-published changelog.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |

| limit | integer | – | – |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| current_version | string | yes | – |
| entries | array | yes | – |
No examples provided.
get_entity Get full text of a small framework entity ~107
Full rendered markdown for entity types that have no dedicated tool. Required param: `entity_type` (principles | phases | domains | technology-categories | scopes | persona). Collections return whole (they are small); entity_type 'persona' also needs `slug`. For capabilities use get_capability; for KPIs get_kpis; for maturity levels get_maturity_model.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| entity_type | string | yes | – |
| slug | string | – | Required for entity_type 'persona'; ignored otherwise |

get_framework_info Framework & server orientation ~41
Start here. Returns the framework's structure (entity counts), the data version/crawl date/license, and how to navigate this server's tools. No parameters.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| counts | object | yes | – |
| crawled_at | string | yes | – |
| data_version | string | yes | – |
| license | string | yes | – |
| overview_md | string | yes | – |
No examples provided.
get_kpis Get KPIs (full records) ~190
Full KPI records: description, formula + candidate data sources (present for the 44 KPIs the site details in capability-page popups), official related capabilities, and where each is featured. Look up one KPI with `slug`, or filter by capability and/or featured_only — filters combine (AND), so a `slug` that doesn't match the `capability` filter returns zero records. Without filters, pages through the whole 88-entry library.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| capability | string | – | Only KPIs featured on or officially related to this capability |
| cursor | string | – | – |
| featured_only | boolean | – | With `capability`: only KPIs featured on that capability's own page; alone: only KPIs featured on some page |
| limit | integer | – | – |
| slug | string | – | Exact KPI slug for a single-record lookup, e.g. 'allocation-accuracy-index-aai' |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| kpis | array | yes | – |
| nextCursor | string | – | – |
| total | number | yes | – |
No examples provided.
get_maturity_assessment Get official maturity assessment ~85
The official FinOps Framework maturity assessment prose for a capability, verbatim, at one level (crawl|walk|run) or all three. This is the Foundation's published assessment text, not a parsed breakdown.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| capability | string | yes | Capability slug, e.g. 'allocation' |
| level | string | – | One level; omit for all three official levels |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| capability | string | yes | – |
| levels | array | yes | – |
No examples provided.
get_maturity_model Get the maturity model ~65
The official FinOps maturity model: Crawl/Walk/Run with each level's characteristics and the community's sample goals/KPIs (e.g. allocation coverage targets per level). Capability-agnostic — for one capability's per-level assessment use get_maturity_assessment.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| official_levels | array | yes | – |
| unofficial_extension | object | – | – |
No examples provided.
list_capabilities List capabilities ~133
All 22 capabilities (slug, title, domain, one-line summary), optionally filtered by `domain` and/or `persona` (both take a slug, e.g. domain="understand-usage-and-cost", persona="finance"). The framework does not assign capabilities to phases, so there is deliberately no phase filter. Default limit returns the full list in one call.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| cursor | string | – | – |
| domain | string | – | Domain slug, e.g. 'understand-usage-and-cost' |
| limit | integer | – | – |
| persona | string | – | Persona slug, e.g. 'finance' |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| capabilities | array | yes | – |
| nextCursor | string | – | – |
| note | string | – | – |
| total | number | yes | – |
No examples provided.
map_personas Persona ↔ capability mapping ~134
With `persona`: every capability that persona works in, WITH that persona's activity bullets inline (one call answers 'what does X do across the framework'). With `capability`: every persona active in it, with activities. With neither: the full persona index (slugs, categories) — use it to discover persona slugs. Passing both is an error — pick one direction per call. Allied personas are mapped at group level by the framework; responses say so explicitly.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| capability | string | – | Capability slug, e.g. 'allocation' |
| persona | string | – | Persona slug, e.g. 'finance' |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| entries | array | – | – |
| license | string | yes | – |
| mode | string | yes | – |
| note | string | – | – |
| personas | array | – | – |
No examples provided.
search_framework Search the framework ~204
Ranked keyword search over every entity (capabilities, KPIs, personas, principles, phases, domains, technology categories, maturity levels, scopes). Returns slug + uri per hit. Feed the slug to `get_kpis(slug: …)`, or pass it as `capability: <slug>` to get_capability/get_maturity_assessment/assess_maturity_path/map_personas and as `persona: <slug>` where a persona filter is accepted. Other entity types (principles, phases, domains, technology categories, scopes) are read via get_entity(entity_type: …) or the hit's finops:// resource uri. Use this whenever you don't already know a slug.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| cursor | string | – | Opaque cursor from a previous call |
| entity_types | array | – | Restrict to these entity types (default: all) |
| limit | integer | – | – |
| query | string | yes | Keywords, e.g. 'unallocated spend tagging' |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| nextCursor | string | – | – |
| results | array | yes | – |
| total | number | yes | – |
