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 →

Tool Tokens
comments_create ~184

Posts a comment on a workspace entity — a new thread, or a reply when rootId is given. Use it to leave findings where the discussion already lives (an eval result on the flow being debated, a summary on a long thread). Mention people via mentionedUserIds (from workspace member ids) to ring their notification bell; never mention someone who didn't ask to be pulled in.

NameTypeReqDescription
approvalIdstring––
bodystringyes–
entityIdstringyes–
entityKindstringyesWhat the thread hangs on.
mentionedUserIdsarray––
rootIdstring–Reply into this thread; omit to start a new one.
workspacestring–Workspace slug. Personal tokens with no default workspace MUST pass this; tokens with a default can override per call. Ignored for workspace API keys.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

comments_list ~105

Lists the comment threads on one workspace entity (open first, then resolved) with authors and timestamps. Read this before weighing in on contested work — the threads are where disagreement lives before it becomes a decision.

NameTypeReqDescription
entityIdstringyes–
entityKindstringyesWhat the thread hangs on.
workspacestring–Workspace slug. Personal tokens with no default workspace MUST pass this; tokens with a default can override per call. Ignored for workspace API keys.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

comments_resolve ~118

Sets a comment thread's resolved state (rootId = the thread's root comment id). Resolve ONLY when the human asked or the thread's question is demonstrably settled — and say what settled it in a reply first. Reopening is for new evidence.

NameTypeReqDescription
approvalIdstring––
resolvedbooleanyes–
rootIdstringyes–
workspacestring–Workspace slug. Personal tokens with no default workspace MUST pass this; tokens with a default can override per call. Ignored for workspace API keys.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

entity_tags_browse ~149

Without a tag: every tag in use across the workspace with how many entities carry it, most-used first — the vocabulary the team already organizes by. With a tag: everything filed under it across every tool, each with its kind, id, title, and path. Use it to reuse existing labels instead of inventing near-duplicates, and to answer 'show me everything about X' when X is a label.

NameTypeReqDescription
tagstring–A tag to expand into its items. Omit to list tags.
workspacestring–Workspace slug. Personal tokens with no default workspace MUST pass this; tokens with a default can override per call. Ignored for workspace API keys.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

entity_tags_get ~130

Returns the tags on a batch of entities of one kind — the labels galleries organize by. Ids come from the kind's list/get tool or from search_workspace. Use it before entity_tags_set so you replace the full set knowingly, and to answer 'what is this filed under'. Entities the user can't see are omitted.

NameTypeReqDescription
entityKindstringyesWhich kind the ids belong to.
idsarrayyes–
workspacestring–Workspace slug. Personal tokens with no default workspace MUST pass this; tokens with a default can override per call. Ignored for workspace API keys.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

entity_tags_set ~173

Replaces the FULL tag set on one entity (an empty list clears it). Read the current tags with entity_tags_get first and pass the merged list — this is not additive. Tags are lowercase letters, numbers, spaces, and hyphens; prefer labels already in use (entity_tags_browse) so the workspace's vocabulary stays small. The id comes from the kind's list/get tool or search_workspace.

NameTypeReqDescription
approvalIdstring–Approval id from a prior needs_confirmation response. Omit on the first call.
entityIdstringyes–
entityKindstringyes–
tagsarrayyes–
workspacestring–Workspace slug. Personal tokens with no default workspace MUST pass this; tokens with a default can override per call. Ignored for workspace API keys.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_doc ~73

Fetch the full Markdown body of a specific docs page by its slug. Use this after `search_docs` when the user needs the complete content of a page. No authentication required.

NameTypeReqDescription
slugstringyesPage slug. Accepts 'compass/api', '/compass/api', or 'docs/compass/api'.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

list_docs ~75

Enumerate all available docs pages, optionally filtered by product (e.g. 'compass', 'legal', 'overview'). Use this to discover what slugs exist before calling `get_doc`. No authentication required.

NameTypeReqDescription
productstring–Optional product slug filter (e.g. 'compass', 'legal', 'overview').

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

search_docs ~111

Search ZeroWidth product documentation. Returns matching pages with title, slug, public URL, and a query-relevant snippet. Use this when the user asks about a ZeroWidth product (Compass, Workbench, Caliper, Prism, Ledger, Napkin, the assistant), an API behavior, or a policy. No authentication required — the docs corpus is public.

NameTypeReqDescription
limitinteger–Max number of results. Defaults to 10.
querystringyesSearch query — keywords or natural-language phrase.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

search_workspace ~431

Finds anything in the workspace in one call — uploaded files (searching the text inside them), folders, Workbench flows, shims, knowledge bases and tasks, Compass pages and changes, Caliper datasets, evals, rubrics, reviews, specs and sources, Ledger entries, Napkin sketches, decks, docs, sheets, diagrams and interfaces. The same search the person uses in Home. Use it FIRST whenever the user mentions something without saying where it lives ('the SOW', 'the dispatch interviews', 'that invoice'). The query is words in any order: each word must appear in the thing's name, its tags, the names of the folders it's filed under, or the text inside it — so 'northwind sow' finds the SOW filed in the Northwind folder, and 'dispatch interview' finds 'Dispatcher interview 1.md'. Results are ranked best first. Each hit carries its id, kind, path (for a link), folderPath (where it's filed, top-down), tags, and a snippet when the words were found inside it rather than in its name — say where a thing lives using folderPath. A file's id feeds workspace_files_read; other ids feed the kind's *_get tool. Pass folderId to search only inside one folder and everything under it. If nothing comes back, try fewer or different words before telling the user it doesn't exist. Results only include what the user can see, and only kinds this token may read.

NameTypeReqDescription
folderIdstring–Only search inside this folder and the folders under it (ids from workspace_folders_browse or a folder hit).
kindsarray–Restrict to these kinds (file, folder, flow, page, doc, dataset, …). Omit to search everything.
limitinteger––
qstringyesWords, any order, case-insensitive. Fewer words find more.
workspacestring–Workspace slug. Personal tokens with no default workspace MUST pass this; tokens with a default can override per call. Ignored for workspace API keys.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

workbench_executions_get ~218

The flow's stack traces: recent executions with per-node timelines — what each node received, produced, how long it took, and the exact error when one failed. USE THIS when a run misbehaves instead of guessing: read the failing node's inputs/error, then propose a fix (workbench_flows_edit_text) grounded in what actually happened. Pass executionId to inspect one run, or just flowId for the most recent runs. Node inputs/outputs are truncated for transport — the full record is in the flow's dev drawer.

NameTypeReqDescription
executionIdstring–Specific execution to inspect. Omit for the latest runs.
flowIdstringyesWorkbench flow id.
limitinteger–How many recent executions (default 3, max 10). Ignored when executionId is set.
workspacestring–Workspace slug. Personal tokens with no default workspace MUST pass this; tokens with a default can override per call. Ignored for workspace API keys (workspace is intrinsic).

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

workbench_flow_authoring_guide ~77

READ THIS FIRST before writing or editing any raw flow orchestration JSON. Covers the document shape, the settings-vs-input-ports rule (temperature, max_tokens, tools, response_format are PORTS, not settings — constants reach ports via value nodes), exact link format, plugin links, and three complete worked examples.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

workbench_flows_attach_knowledge_base ~281

Attaches a knowledge base to an AGENT flow's draft, the same way picking it in the agent editor does: a docs knowledge base becomes a search tool the model calls when a question needs it; a tabular one also puts its tables in the prompt and adds a query tool. The flow needs a system prompt (scaffold it with one). Attaching one that's already there changes nothing. Do it BEFORE workbench_flows_publish: a published version is what interfaces and schedules run, so attach, try it with workbench_flows_run, then publish — and if something already pins an older version (an interface grant), re-grant the new version. Tell the model in its system prompt what the knowledge base holds and when to search it. May return `needs_confirmation`.

NameTypeReqDescription
approvalIdstring–Approval id from a prior needs_confirmation response. Omit on the first call.
flowIdstringyesThe agent flow, from workbench_flows_scaffold or workbench_flows_list.
knowledgeBaseIdstringyesThe knowledge base id, from workbench_kb_create or workbench_kb_list.
workspacestring–Workspace slug. Personal tokens with no default workspace MUST pass this; tokens with a default can override per call. Ignored for workspace API keys.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

workbench_flows_delete ~166

Deletes a flow. Its schedules stop, guest share links die, and evals targeting it can no longer run (their binding shows flowOk: false) — check caliper_flow_performance for evals and workbench_flows_schedules_list before proposing, and prefer workbench_flows_update with archived: true when the user just wants it out of the way. May return `needs_confirmation`.

NameTypeReqDescription
approvalIdstring–Approval id from a prior needs_confirmation response. Omit on the first call.
flowIdstringyesFlow id, from workbench_flows_list.
workspacestring–Workspace slug. Personal tokens with no default workspace MUST pass this; tokens with a default can override per call. Ignored for workspace API keys.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

workbench_flows_edit_text ~381

Applies ONE precise text replacement to a flow's DRAFT orchestration — Edit-tool semantics: `find` must be the EXACT current text, copied character-for-character from workbench_flows_get, and must occur exactly once anywhere in the flow (system prompts, node settings, metadata, a node's type). `find` is text inside ONE value, not JSON: to change a model, find the model slug alone (`anthropic-claude-haiku-4-5`) and replace it with another `llm` slug from workbench_node_catalog_get. It can't add or remove nodes or links. Zero or multiple matches return an error instead of guessing. This is the improvement primitive: check receipts first with caliper_flow_performance, cite the run id in `note`, apply the edit after approval, then re-run the eval with caliper_evals_run and report the score delta — never claim improvement without the before/after. Edits land on the draft only; the published version changes when someone publishes (workbench_flows_publish, after the user has seen the result). May return `needs_confirmation` — show the user the exact find/replace diff and wait.

NameTypeReqDescription
approvalIdstring–Approval id from a prior needs_confirmation envelope.
findstringyesEXACT current text (≥3 chars), copied verbatim — never reconstructed from memory.
flowIdstringyesFlow to edit.
notestringyesWhy this edit. Cite eval run ids when it follows a measurement (e.g. 'refund answers scored 1/5 on accuracy in run cer_abc — adds the manager-approval rule'). Lands in the audit log.
replacestringyesReplacement text.
workspacestring–Workspace slug. Personal tokens with no default workspace MUST pass this.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

workbench_flows_fork ~191

Copies a PUBLIC flow from another workspace (a template) into this one as a new draft the user owns. Identify it by its flowUuid (the id on Workbench's public template pages and in `workbench_flows_get` output); optionally pin which published version to copy. Flows already in this workspace can't be forked — open them instead. Counts toward the plan's flow cap. May return `needs_confirmation`.

NameTypeReqDescription
approvalIdstring–Approval id from a prior needs_confirmation response. Omit on the first call.
flowUuidstringyesThe source flow's public uuid.
forkedFromVersionstring–Published version label to copy. Default: the latest published.
workspacestring–Workspace slug. Personal tokens with no default workspace MUST pass this; tokens with a default can override per call. Ignored for workspace API keys.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

workbench_flows_get ~233

One flow. Default `view: summary` lists its nodes and links so you can pick one; `view: node` with a nodeId returns that node's full settings and prompt — read THAT before workbench_flows_edit_text, and copy `find` text from it character-for-character, never from memory. `view: full` returns the whole orchestration body.

NameTypeReqDescription
flowIdstringyesFlow id.
nodeIdstring–With view `node`: which node.
viewstring–`summary` (default): the flow's fields plus one line per node (id, type, label, and how long its prompt is) and the links — enough to pick a node. `node`: the full settings of one node (pass nodeId)…
workspacestring–Workspace slug. Personal tokens with no default workspace MUST pass this; tokens with a default can override per call. Ignored for workspace API keys (workspace is intrinsic).

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

workbench_flows_list ~92

Lists every flow in the active workspace the caller can see. Returns summaries (id, name, visibility, updatedAt) — fetch one with `workbench_flows_get` for the full orchestration body.

NameTypeReqDescription
workspacestring–Workspace slug. Personal tokens with no default workspace MUST pass this; tokens with a default can override per call. Ignored for workspace API keys (workspace is intrinsic).

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

workbench_flows_publish ~298

Snapshots the flow's current DRAFT as a named published version — the version schedules (workbench_flows_schedule), guest share links (workbench_flows_share_create), public-API runs, and 'published'-stage evals execute. The draft keeps evolving after this; runs on the published side don't change until the next publish. Publishing does NOT run the flow, but any eval set to runOnPublish starts a run (that spends credit — mention it when one exists). Refused when the draft hasn't been run since it last changed: try it first with workbench_flows_run on a few real questions, including one it should decline, and read the answers. May return `needs_confirmation`.

NameTypeReqDescription
approvalIdstring–Approval id from a prior needs_confirmation response. Omit on the first call.
flowIdstringyesFlow to publish.
notestring–What changed — a commit message.
untriedboolean–true only when the person asked to publish this draft without trying it first.
versionstringyesVersion label, e.g. '1.0.0' or '2026-09-04'. Re-using a label retags it to this snapshot.
workspacestring–Workspace slug. Personal tokens with no default workspace MUST pass this; tokens with a default can override per call. Ignored for workspace API keys.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

workbench_flows_revisions_list ~159

The flow's revision history, newest first: published versions carry a `version` label and note; entries with version null are draft autosaves. Use it to answer 'is this published?' (any entry with a version), to find a revision id for caliper_evals_create's flowRevisionId, or to see when the draft last changed.

NameTypeReqDescription
flowIdstringyesFlow id.
limitinteger–Entries to return, default 20.
publishedOnlyboolean–true = only labeled published versions (default false).
workspacestring–Workspace slug. Personal tokens with no default workspace MUST pass this; tokens with a default can override per call. Ignored for workspace API keys.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

workbench_flows_run ~227

Execute a flow and return its outputs synchronously. Runs the draft by default; pass source:"published" (optionally a version) to run the live published version. Spends workspace LLM budget, bounded by the token's cost cap. `input` is the flow's input envelope, e.g. {"kind":"chat","messages":[…]} or {"kind":"form","values":{…}}.

NameTypeReqDescription
approvalIdstring–Re-call with the approvalId from a needs_confirmation response after the user approves.
flowIdstringyesFlow id to run.
inputobject–Flow input envelope (RunFlowInput). Omit for a flow that needs none.
sourcestring–Which version to run. Default: draft.
timeoutMsinteger–Max runtime in ms (also the hard cost ceiling).
versionstring–Published version label (only with source:"published").
workspacestring–Workspace slug. Personal tokens with no default workspace MUST pass this. Ignored for workspace API keys.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

workbench_flows_scaffold ~713

Creates a runnable first-draft flow from a spec you author: pick the simplest pattern that fits (classifier for read-and-bucket, structurer for transform/extract/draft-for-review, agent for genuinely conversational), write a production-quality system prompt grounded in what the user told you, and mark anything stubbed with [STUB: ...] markers plus stubNotes. The draft opens in Workbench's simple editor at /w/<workspace>/flows/<id> — give the user that path. May return `needs_confirmation`; show the user what you're proposing and wait for their approval, then re-call with the approvalId. When the draft comes from a Compass change, pass its opportunityId so the flow and the change point at each other (Compass shows 'Open in Workbench'; the flow shows where it came from). Then: workbench_flows_run to try it, workbench_flows_publish when it's ready for schedules and share links.

NameTypeReqDescription
approvalIdstring–Approval id from a prior needs_confirmation response. Omit on the first call.

workbench_flows_scenarios_create ~236

Saves a named scenario: values for the flow's variables, e.g. one demo customer. It shows in the test pane's Scenarios menu, and Caliper evals can run as it. Use the person's details from what the user shared (a CRM screenshot, a profile) and say which ones you made up. May return `needs_confirmation`.

workbench_flows_scenarios_list ~113

A flow's variables (each {{token}} in an agent's prompt, with its type) and every saved scenario with its values. Read this before creating or updating a scenario, so the values use the flow's real variable names.

Set a specific built flow to run automatically on a cadence — the deterministic counterpart to a routine. Each run executes the flow's latest PUBLISHED revision with the fixed `input` envelope and routes the output per `delivery`. USE THIS when the user wants a flow they've built to run on a schedule ("run my digest flow every morning"). Do NOT create a routine for this — a routine runs a free-form instruction, not a built flow. The schedule runs the PUBLISHED flow, so the flow must be published (check workbench_flows_revisions_list; publish with workbench_flows_publish if it isn't). `input` is fixed for every run, so the flow itself should fetch anything time-varying at run time. Manage existing schedules with workbench_flows_schedules_list / workbench_flows_schedules_update.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

workbench_flows_schedules_list ~142

Every schedule on one flow: cadence, whether it's paused (`enabled: false`), the next fire time, delivery, and the last run's status. Read this before workbench_flows_schedule (don't create a duplicate) and to get the scheduleId for workbench_flows_schedules_update / workbench_flows_schedules_delete / workbench_flows_schedules_run_now.

No examples provided.

workbench_flows_schedules_run_now ~208

Runs one iteration of a schedule immediately through the real scheduled pipeline (same input, same delivery — the email or channel it normally posts to) without moving its cadence. Works on paused schedules. Use it to test a schedule the user just set up. Spends workspace credit and delivers for real, so it sits behind the approval gate — may return `needs_confirmation`. The run is fire-and-forget: check workbench_flows_schedules_list for lastStatus, or workbench_executions_get for the trace.

workbench_flows_schedules_update ~541

Changes one schedule: `enabled: false` pauses it (configuration kept), `enabled: true` resumes and recomputes the next fire time from now; `interval` / `scheduleTime` / `scheduleTimezone` / `scheduleDayOfWeek` change the cadence; `label`, `delivery`, and `input` can change too. Pass only what changes. Get the scheduleId from workbench_flows_schedules_list. May return `needs_confirmation`.

workbench_flows_share_create ~228

Creates a no-account guest link where anyone can chat with the flow's latest PUBLISHED revision at workbench's /s/<token> page — the fastest way to put a working flow in a stakeholder's hands ('here, try it'). The flow must have a published version (workbench_flows_revisions_list shows it; publish with workbench_flows_publish if not). Conversations are capped per guest; the link can expire, and you can list links with workbench_flows_shares_list and kill one with workbench_flows_shares_revoke. May return `needs_confirmation` — say who the link is for and wait.

NameTypeReqDescription
approvalIdstring–Approval id from a prior needs_confirmation envelope.
expiresInDaysinteger–Days until the link dies. Omit = revoke-only.
flowIdstringyesFlow to share.
labelstring–Who/what this link is for, e.g. 'support pilot'.
workspacestring–Workspace slug. Personal tokens with no default workspace MUST pass this.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

workbench_flows_shares_list ~141

Every guest link on one flow, newest first: label, whether it's still live, the shareUrl (live links only — dead ones have no URL), expiry, and how many guests and messages it has seen. Use it to answer 'who has access', to recover a link the user lost, and to get the shareId for workbench_flows_shares_revoke.

NameTypeReqDescription
flowIdstringyesFlow id, from workbench_flows_list.
workspacestring–Workspace slug. Personal tokens with no default workspace MUST pass this; tokens with a default can override per call. Ignored for workspace API keys.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

workbench_flows_shares_revoke ~151

Kills one guest link immediately — anyone holding it gets a closed page from then on. Conversations already had stay in the flow's history. Get the shareId from workbench_flows_shares_list. May return `needs_confirmation`.

NameTypeReqDescription
approvalIdstring–Approval id from a prior needs_confirmation response. Omit on the first call.
flowIdstringyesFlow the link belongs to.
shareIdstringyesShare id, from workbench_flows_shares_list.
workspacestring–Workspace slug. Personal tokens with no default workspace MUST pass this; tokens with a default can override per call. Ignored for workspace API keys.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

workbench_flows_update ~263

Changes a flow's name, description, visibility, tags, or archived state — the metadata around the flow, NOT its orchestration (prompts and nodes change through workbench_flows_edit_text). Pass only what changes. Archiving hides the flow from the default gallery but leaves it runnable, scheduled, and shared; pass archived: false to restore. May return `needs_confirmation`.

NameTypeReqDescription
approvalIdstring–Approval id from a prior needs_confirmation response. Omit on the first call.
archivedboolean–true archives, false restores.
description––New description; null clears it.
flowIdstringyesFlow id, from workbench_flows_list.
flowNamestring–New name.
tagsarray–Replacement tag set (lowercase labels). The whole set, not a diff.
visibilitystring–Who can see it: PRIVATE (only the user), WORKSPACE (every member, the default), or SHARED (specific people, granted afterwards). Say 'make it private' → PRIVATE.
workspacestring–Workspace slug. Personal tokens with no default workspace MUST pass this; tokens with a default can override per call. Ignored for workspace API keys.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

workbench_kb_add_documents ~245

Adds documents to a knowledge base and starts ingestion (chunk + embed; graph KBs also extract entities; tabular KBs load CSV as tables). Text goes inline (Markdown, plain text, CSV — encoding utf8); binary files (PDF, .docx) go base64-encoded with their mimeType. Up to 50 sources per call, ~10 MB each. Ingestion runs in the BACKGROUND — the result carries a runId; check it with workbench_kb_ingestion_status when the user asks, don't poll. workbench_kb_search works once it finishes. Content from <attached-file> blocks is ideal source material. Check workbench_kb_documents_list first so you don't add a document twice. Embedding spends workspace inference credit, so this sits behind the approval gate: may return `needs_confirmation`.

NameTypeReqDescription
approvalIdstring–Approval id from a prior needs_confirmation envelope.
kbIdstringyesKnowledge base id (from workbench_kb_list or workbench_kb_create).
sourcesarrayyesDocuments to ingest (1-50).
workspacestring–Workspace slug override.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

workbench_kb_create ~201

Creates an empty knowledge base. Recipe 'docs' (default) for reference material an agent searches at runtime; 'tabular' for spreadsheet-style data queried with SQL; 'graph' for entity/relationship extraction. After creating, add content with workbench_kb_add_documents, then give an agent flow a search tool over it with workbench_flows_attach_knowledge_base (before publishing the flow). May return `needs_confirmation`.

NameTypeReqDescription
approvalIdstring–Approval id from a prior needs_confirmation envelope.
descriptionstring––
namestringyesKnowledge base name (1-200 chars).
recipestring–Default 'docs'.
visibilitystring–Who can see it: PRIVATE (only the user), WORKSPACE (every member, the default), or SHARED (specific people, granted afterwards). Say 'make it private' → PRIVATE.
workspacestring–Workspace slug override.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

workbench_kb_delete ~136

Deletes a knowledge base and everything in it. Flows that search it will find nothing — check which agents use it (the user knows; the KB page in Workbench lists them) and say so before proposing. May return `needs_confirmation`.

NameTypeReqDescription
approvalIdstring–Approval id from a prior needs_confirmation response. Omit on the first call.
kbIdstringyesKnowledge base id, from workbench_kb_list.
workspacestring–Workspace slug. Personal tokens with no default workspace MUST pass this; tokens with a default can override per call. Ignored for workspace API keys.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

workbench_kb_document_delete ~152

Removes one ingested document and all its chunks; searches stop returning it at once. Get the documentId from workbench_kb_documents_list. To replace a document, remove it then workbench_kb_add_documents the new version. May return `needs_confirmation`.

NameTypeReqDescription
approvalIdstring–Approval id from a prior needs_confirmation response. Omit on the first call.
documentIdstringyesDocument id, from workbench_kb_documents_list.

workspacestring–Workspace slug. Personal tokens with no default workspace MUST pass this; tokens with a default can override per call. Ignored for workspace API keys.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

workbench_kb_documents_list ~145

Every document ingested into the KB's current content: id, name, type, size, chunk count. Empty for a KB with nothing ingested yet (or one whose ingestion is still running — check workbench_kb_ingestion_status). Use it before workbench_kb_add_documents to avoid re-adding a document, and to get the documentId for workbench_kb_document_delete.

NameTypeReqDescription
kbIdstringyesKnowledge base id, from workbench_kb_list.
workspacestring–Workspace slug. Personal tokens with no default workspace MUST pass this; tokens with a default can override per call. Ignored for workspace API keys.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

workbench_kb_get ~112

One knowledge base: name, recipe (docs / tabular / graph), status, document and chunk counts, embedding model, and ingestion settings. Read it to confirm a KB has content before pointing a flow at it. Get the kbId from workbench_kb_list.

NameTypeReqDescription
kbIdstringyesKnowledge base id.
workspacestring–Workspace slug. Personal tokens with no default workspace MUST pass this; tokens with a default can override per call. Ignored for workspace API keys.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

workbench_kb_ingestion_status ~162

The state of one ingestion run started by workbench_kb_add_documents: PENDING / RUNNING / DONE / FAILED, chunks written, and the error when it failed. Read it when the user asks whether their documents are in yet, or before a search that needs them — don't poll in a loop; ingestion of a few documents takes under a minute. Pass the runId the add-documents call returned.

NameTypeReqDescription
kbIdstringyesKnowledge base id.
runIdstringyesIngestion run id, from workbench_kb_add_documents.
workspacestring–Workspace slug. Personal tokens with no default workspace MUST pass this; tokens with a default can override per call. Ignored for workspace API keys.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

workbench_kb_list ~97

Lists every knowledge base in the active workspace the caller can see. Returns summaries (id, name, description, status, doc/chunk counts, embedding model). Use an id with `workbench_kb_search` to retrieve content.

NameTypeReqDescription
workspacestring–Workspace slug. Personal tokens with no default workspace MUST pass this; tokens with a default can override per call. Ignored for workspace API keys (workspace is intrinsic).

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

workbench_kb_search ~205

Retrieves the most relevant chunks from one knowledge base — the core RAG primitive. `mode:"semantic"` (default) embeds the query and ranks by meaning (spends a small amount of workspace credit); `mode:"keyword"` is a free case-insensitive substring match. Each hit carries the chunk text, its document, and a score (cosine similarity 0-1 for semantic, match count for keyword). Get a kbId from `workbench_kb_list`.

NameTypeReqDescription
kbIdstringyesKnowledge base id (from workbench_kb_list).
limitinteger–Max hits to return, 1-50. Default 10.
modestring–semantic (embed + rank by meaning, default) or keyword (free substring match).
querystringyesWhat to search for.
workspacestring–Workspace slug. Personal tokens with no default workspace MUST pass this. Ignored for workspace API keys.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

workbench_node_catalog_get ~258

The ground truth for what nodes exist and what their ports actually are — verify against this instead of recalling. Search by keyword/category for summaries; pass `slug` for one node's full detail (inputs, outputs, settings). Inputs are PORTS fed by links; settings live on the node — see `workbench_flow_authoring_guide`. The catalog is the WORKSPACE'S: model nodes the workspace's inference policy forbids come back with `allowed: false` — never author with those; pick an allowed model. Pass `flowId` to include the flow's pinned imports as nodes.

NameTypeReqDescription
categorystring–Filter by category.
flowIdstring–A flow whose pinned imports should appear as `imported-<uuid>` nodes.
limitinteger–Results per page, 1-50. Default 20.
offsetinteger–Pagination offset.
qstring–Keyword over slug / name / tagline / description.
slugstring–Exact node slug → full detail for that one node (ports + settings).
workspacestring–Workspace slug. Personal tokens with no default workspace MUST pass this; the catalog's policy annotation is per workspace.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

workbench_shim_add_answer ~141

Adds one answer (a label and, optionally, when it applies). The shim needs three examples of it before it builds again with the new answer. May return `needs_confirmation`.

NameTypeReqDescription

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

workbench_shim_add_examples ~205

Adds example inputs to one answer. Write inputs a real person would actually type in the shim's setting — varied in length, register and specifics, each one clearly this answer and not another — never paraphrases of the answer's name. Read the shim first so new examples fit alongside the existing ones and land where recall is low. Exact duplicates are skipped. The shim rebuilds on its own afterwards; read it again for the new report. May return `needs_confirmation`.

NameTypeReqDescription
answerstringyesThe answer these examples belong to, exactly as labelled.

workbench_shim_create ~181

Creates a shim from a name, the question it answers, and its answers. Add examples afterwards with workbench_shim_add_examples — three or more per answer and it builds on its own. May return `needs_confirmation`.

NameTypeReqDescription
answersarrayyes–
approvalIdstring–Approval id from a prior needs_confirmation response. Omit on the first call.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

workbench_shim_get ~156

One shim in full: the question, where its inputs come from, every answer with its description and examples, what the shim still needs before it can build, and the newest build's report — held-out accuracy, recall per answer, which answers get mistaken for which, and the compiler's notes. Read it before writing examples: match the setting and the existing examples' register, and put new examples where recall is low or the compiler says an answer is thin.

NameTypeReqDescription

No examples provided.

workbench_shim_list ~110

Every shim the user can see: id, name, the question it answers, how many answers and examples it has, and the published version's held-out accuracy (null until something is published). A shim is a small decision model that runs inside an app with no model call. Start here to get a shimId.

Common questions

What is the ZeroWidth Workbench MCP server?

ZeroWidth Workbench is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as ai.zerowidth/workbench. Build, run and publish Workbench flows, tasks, shims and knowledge bases. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://api.zerowidth.ai/mcp/x/workbench).

Is the ZeroWidth Workbench MCP server safe to use?

ZeroWidth Workbench scores 73 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

What tools does the ZeroWidth Workbench MCP server expose?

ZeroWidth Workbench exposes 61 tools: search_docs, get_doc, list_docs, workbench_flows_revisions_list, workbench_flows_update, and 56 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 12,089 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Does the ZeroWidth Workbench MCP server require authentication?

No. We connected to ZeroWidth Workbench without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.

Is the ZeroWidth Workbench MCP server still maintained?

ZeroWidth Workbench is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 24 October 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
