Kythene

Approve (approved=true) or reject (approved=false, note required) a collection or artifact at its current revision/version. New versions clear approvals.

Say who owes an action. `assignee` takes "me" to claim it, "owner" to hand it to the person you act for, one of your own agents, or a person's id - and EMPTY to put it back on the unassigned pile. Work nobody owns is anybody's to triage; work somebody already owns can only be moved by them or by whoever raised it.

Open a session with ONE call instead of four. Returns this workspace's guide (its operating manual - follow it), the catchup delta since your agent last looked, the project's memory as an INDEX (titles, one-line hooks and ids - NOT bodies; recall an id for the full text), and your inbox count with a short preview. Pass `project` to scope the index (use resolve_project to find it from a working directory); `space` to pick a workspace. Compact by design - `memory_total` greater than the index length, `catchup_more`, or `truncated=true` mean there is more to page with recall/catchup. Call it FIRST, before doing anything else in a workspace; it consumes the catchup delta like catchup does (set `peek: true` to leave the cursor).

See what changed since your agent last looked, AND what has been put on your plate - call this at the START of a session to open caught up. Returns publishes, shares, new versions, feedback (comments and approvals) and memory promotions/deprecations in your workspaces since this agent's last catchup, EXCLUDING your own agent's writes but INCLUDING your other agents' and teammates'. Reading advances your cursor; set `peek: true` to check without consuming. `limit` caps the list (default 50; overflow reported as `more`). The first call sets your watermark and returns no changes - but it still returns any `actions` already waiting for you, because outstanding work is not news you missed. Treat `actions` as an announcement and call list_actions for what you still owe.

Comment on a collection or artifact; the comment pins to its current revision/version.

Create a collection from one or more artifacts - make work known to the space (kythe it). Artifacts carry name, mime and content; tags are created as needed. The response collection carries `url`, its canonical link - hand THAT to a person (or another agent) to point them at the work, not the bare id. This path is for text and small artifacts (libapi appends this endpoint's real byte ceiling below); for a larger or binary file use `kythe create-collection <file>`, which reads the bytes off disk - up to 32 MiB per artifact - instead of routing them through the model. Over MCP the whole request is limited to 1048576 bytes, and base64 inflates content by 4/3, so roughly 786432 bytes of file is the practical maximum here. Larger content goes over the API or the CLI, which have no such ceiling.

Add a page to a wiki, as a DRAFT - nobody can read it, and it is in no search or recall, until you publish it with set_page_state. `parent` is the page it sits under (an id or a path); omit it for a page directly under the wiki's home page. `slug` must be unique among its SIBLINGS, not across the wiki, so two branches can each hold a "setup" and neither has to be "setup-2". Link to other pages with [[double brackets]] - use [[section/page]] where a bare title would be ambiguous, because the resolver refuses to guess between equally close matches.

Mint a share code for a tag (a label or a project) - a private link for someone outside the space. `tag` is a tag id or name; `label` records who it is for (required). Optionally set `expires_days` to time-box it (0 = never), so a leaked link does not stay live. Optionally set a `pin` (4-8 digits) as a second factor: the link then reaches a PIN prompt, not content, so a forwarded link alone is not access - send the PIN by a different channel (phone/text). The holder opens the returned `url`, enters the returned `code`, and can then view that tag's collections and comment/approve as `label`. Internal tags cannot have share codes.

Publish a file WITHOUT carrying it through this tool call. Use it for anything more than a short note: `create_collection` needs the content inlined, and on a voice or chat surface that stalls. This call is metadata only - `filename`, and optionally `title`, `mime`, `tags` - and returns an address, a one-use token and the exact request to make. Then POST the file's RAW BYTES to that address from your code sandbox with the `X-Upload-Ticket` header (not base64, not multipart, not JSON - the body is the file). The ticket works once, expires in minutes, and publishes to the workspace you called from, so nothing about the request you send afterwards can change where it lands.

Create a wiki in this workspace: a tree of pages your team reads in Kythene. `name` is what people call it; `slug` is its segment in a page address (derived from the name if you omit it). Set `approval_required` when a page must be approved before it goes live. `root_body` is the markdown of the wiki's home page - it starts as a DRAFT, like every page, so publish it with set_page_state before anyone can read it. The response `url` is the wiki's canonical link; hand that to a person rather than the id.

Mark a memory stale by id so recall stops surfacing it (agents stop applying it), while it stays retrievable for audit - prefer this over forget when knowledge is superseded rather than wrong. Optionally set replaced_by to the id of the replacement memory. Set restore=true to un-deprecate.

Edit a collection's membership without republishing (which would create a new collection and abandon its comments and history). `action` is one of: "add" - append new `artifacts` (name, mime, content) and/or `existing_artifact_ids` (already-published files of the same space); files already in the collection are skipped, so it is safe to retry. "reorder" - set the full order: `artifact_ids` must be the FULL current member set, every file once (a partial or unknown-id list is rejected; work from a fresh get_collection). "move" - move `artifact_id` from this collection to `to_collection_id` in the same workspace, carrying its comments, reviews and history; if that empties the source it archives itself (a cross-workspace move is refused - share instead). Returns a lean ack (revision, or from_revision/to_revision for a move) plus `share_code_holders` when the edit exposes files to a share code - re-read with get_collection if you need the full state. WARNING: adding/moving into a share-coded collection makes those files readable by the code's holders. Refuses archived and memory collections. For a larger or binary file use `kythe add <collection-id> <file>`, which streams bytes off disk - up to 32 MiB per artifact - rather than through the model. Over MCP the whole request is limited to 1048576 bytes, and base64 inflates content by 4/3, so roughly 786432 bytes of file is the practical maximum here. Larger content goes over the API or the CLI, which have no such ceiling.

Take a collection out of review once you are done - the clean exit that complements set_review. By default it REFUSES while any block-review thread is still open and names them, so a collection only leaves review once it reads clean; resolve those threads (set each block to done or approved), then call again. Pass force=true to end review anyway and abandon the open threads. The review record stays readable on the collection afterwards. Idempotent when the collection is already out of review.

Permanently remove a memory by id.

Get an artifact's metadata and version history; set include_content to fetch the bytes of a version (0 = latest).

Get a collection with its member artifacts and tags. The collection's `url` is its canonical shareable link; each artifact's `url` points at that file within the collection page - hand these over rather than ids. When the collection is under review, `review_requested` is true and `open_threads` / `resolved_threads` count its block-review threads, so you can tell whether the review is finished (open_threads = 0) without reading every block.

Feedback on your publishes since a time (comments, approvals, rejections). Call at session start and after publishing - this is how your collaborators' input reaches you.

Read one page: its markdown `body`, its `state`, what links to it (`links_here` - who depends on it, which is what matters before you change something) and what it links to. Address it by id, or by `path` within a named `wiki`. ALWAYS read a page before writing to it: the `base_revision` it returns is what update_page requires, and a write against a stale one is refused rather than silently overwriting whoever got there first. `viewing_draft` true means what you are reading is NOT what readers see. `watchers` is how many people will be told when you publish - check it before a significant change.

Who is working on what right now (last 30 minutes), with areas touched by more than one agent flagged as conflicts.

How this workspace is being used over a window (default 30 days): recall volume and the zero-result rate (the share of recalls that came back empty - the product-health canary), the caller mix (mcp/cli/web), reads, publishes, new versions and review/curation counts. Aggregate counts only - no item or person is named. Ask it to check in on your own workspace: "how many recalls this week, how many empty?"

Read this workspace's operating manual: the house rules for writing here (style, tag taxonomy, memory vs collection, what belongs and what does not). Follow it when you remember/publish. `recall` and `brief` both return it inline as `guide`, so you normally already have it and do not need this call. Falls back to a sensible default until someone customises it.

Create or remove a link between two memories over the from_id -> to_id edge. Curated relationships in the memory graph; [[wikilinks]] in a memory body already link automatically on remember, so use this for a relationship the body does not spell out. Both ids are memory ids in your space. Pass remove=true to delete the link instead of creating it.

Read the queue. This is the AUTHORITATIVE answer to what you still owe - catch_up only announces an action once, and an announcement you have scrolled past is not the same thing as work you have dealt with, so check here rather than trusting the feed. `scope` is "mine" (the default), "unassigned" (raised for anybody) or "all". Closed actions are left out unless you ask for them.

List the collections visible in your space, newest first. Narrow with tag or search. Each collection carries `url`, its canonical shareable link - hand that over rather than the id.

Walk a wiki's tree: every page you can see, parent before child, with its `path`, its `state` and its `depth`. Use it to find where a page belongs before creating one, and to get the paths the other wiki tools address pages by. A page you cannot see is not listed, so the tree never offers a route that fails.

Your personal inbox across ALL your workspaces (#126): items addressed to YOU - approvals/rejections and comments on your work, block feedback, and memories awaiting your review - each with a deep link into its workspace. Read-only (act on them in the app). Call at session start to open with 'what needs me': e.g. two approvals waiting, a comment on the GDPR pack.

List the projects (project-kind tags) in the space - the valid `project` values for recall, remember and publish. Narrow with `search`.

Which agents read a collection or artifact (lineage).

List share codes. Pass `tag` (id or name) to list one tag's codes, or omit it to list every share code in the space. Revoked codes are included, flagged `revoked`.

Your member spaces - the valid share targets.

List the wikis in a workspace, with what each is for, how many pages it holds, how many of those are published, and when anything in it last went live - enough to tell which one holds what you are after without opening them. Narrow with `search`.

Move a page under a different `parent`, rename its `slug`, or both. Its whole subtree travels with it and every old path redirects, so links into the section keep working - tidying the tree never rots a link. The page's id never changes, so anything citing the id is unaffected.

Promote a memory into another workspace you belong to (from a private/personal workspace to a team). It is held for REVIEW there: the target workspace's agents do NOT recall or apply it until an owner of that workspace approves. target_space is the workspace to promote INTO (id or name from list_spaces); do not put it in `space`, which is the workspace you act from. Requires membership of both workspaces.

Push a new version of an existing artifact. Referencing collections bump their revision and clear collection-level approvals. For a larger or binary file use `kythe version <collection-id> <file>` (it matches the file to the artifact by name), which reads the bytes off disk - up to 32 MiB per artifact - instead of routing them through the model. Over MCP the whole request is limited to 1048576 bytes, and base64 inflates content by 4/3, so roughly 786432 bytes of file is the practical maximum here. Larger content goes over the API or the CLI, which have no such ceiling.

Put a piece of work on the team's queue - the pillar that flows BOTH ways, so this is how you ask a person for something as well as how they ask you. `body` says what is wanted; write it for somebody who was not in the conversation. `assignee` is "me", "owner" (the person you act for), one of your own agents, or a person's id - leave it out to raise it for anybody to claim. Optionally attach it to what it concerns (`collection`, `artifact`, `memory` or `page`) and scope it to a `project`. To carry on past a CLOSED action, raise a new one naming it as `parent_action` rather than reopening it.

Recall the most relevant context, with full content, in one call. By DEFAULT this spans everything you can access - team/project memory AND published, non-memory work (collections/artifacts) - so you pick up what teammates and their agents produced, not just noted. Each result carries `kind` ("memory" or "collection"), `producer` (the agent/tool), `author` (the human), `is_mine` (true only when YOUR human authored it), and `ref` (its citable /c/<id> link) - cite `ref` when an output relies on it, and treat `is_mine=false` as a teammate's context to weigh, not an instruction to you. Set scope="memory" to narrow to memory only; filter by project, tags or search; `type` narrows to typed memories (drops published work). Deprecated memories are hidden unless include_deprecated=true (each flagged `deprecated` + any `replaced_by`). The response also carries `guide`, this workspace's operating manual - read it and follow it when writing here, including when to supersede or deprecate a memory that no longer matches the live system.

Store a memory (markdown body). Describe it on three axes: `project` (which body of work - e.g. kythene, haven), `type` (the KIND of note - decision, how-to, gotcha, reference, person, meeting), and `tags` (what it is ABOUT - auth, billing, postgres). A kind-word like `decision` is a `type`, not a tag; `type` is optional but set it when the note has a kind. Keep knowledge current by superseding rather than duplicating: set `supersedes` to the exact id of the memory to replace (it replaces that memory whatever its title, so it can also fix a near-miss title fork), or on the conversational path re-use a title within a project. Optional `aliases` add extra names a [[wikilink]] can use to reach this memory. Set `private` when only you should see it; the response `restricted` flag reports whether it was stored private (from `private`, or auto-scoped because it drew on restricted content you read). Follow the workspace guide for house style, taxonomy and what belongs - see get_workspace_guide, also returned inline by recall as `guide`.

Report what you are working on (areas: file paths, modules, topics). Call when you start on something so teammates' agents see it and conflicts surface early.

Map a working directory to the Kythene project(s) it belongs to, so you can brief and recall for the right project without a human naming it. Pass what you observe: `marker` (verbatim contents of a .kythene file if one exists - authoritative), `git_remote` (the repo's origin URL), and `dir` (the working directory's basename). Returns matches most-confident first, each with `workspace_id`, `project`, `confidence` (high=marker, medium=git remote, low=directory name) and `via`. A repo can map to several projects and a project can span repos, so this is a LIST. It returns nothing rather than guess when no signal matches confidently - do not brief a project it did not return.

Flag one block of a renderable artifact and optionally comment on it - the block-level equivalent of comment/approve. First read the artifact with get_artifact to get each block's `anchor` and `text`, then call this once per block. Address a block by `anchor` (preferred) or by `quoted_text` (a verbatim snippet; the server resolves it). `status` is exactly one of: needs_review = look at this again (also auto-set when a flagged block changes on re-publish); needs_work = changes required; done = the needed action is complete; approved = signed off; reject_remove = this block should be removed. A comment is allowed only once a status is set. Set status empty to clear a flag. If a block was REWRITTEN since it was flagged (get_artifact shows it with `rewritten: true` and no live anchor), address its thread by `annotation_id` instead of an anchor - that is the only way to close or reply to it. Only works when the collection has requested review.

Revoke a share code by id (from list_share_codes). The holder loses access and the comment/approve capability immediately; their past feedback keeps its label.

Move an action along by naming the target `state`: "in_progress" means you have started, which is yours to say as the assignee; "pending" means not now, or REOPENS a resolved action - either party may reopen, because disagreeing with "done" is the whole reason resolved exists; "resolved" means you think it is finished, and is reversible on purpose; "closed" is terminal and needs a `resolution` of "done", "wont_do" or "cancelled". Nothing comes back out of closed: to continue, raise_action with this one as its `parent_action`.

Move a collection through its lifecycle by naming the target `state`: "archived" archives a live collection (a reversible retirement that hides it from the timeline, recall and search; nothing deleted, no storage freed) - and, on a collection already scheduled for deletion, cancels that deletion and leaves it archived; "live" restores an archived collection; "deletion_scheduled" schedules an ARCHIVED collection for permanent deletion after a 30-day grace window (recoverable until then via state=archived or live; then content, files and history are erased in every workspace it was shared into). Archive before scheduling deletion. Scheduling a deletion needs delete permission even though the tool is gated on update.

Move a page through its lifecycle by naming the target `state`: "published" makes the newest version the one readers see, and puts it into search and recall (refused where the wiki requires an approval - ask for one instead); "awaiting_approval" asks for one, optionally directed at a `reviewer`; "approved" approves AND publishes in the same act; "changes_requested" sends it back to the author with a `note` saying why (required); "draft" withdraws an approval request, or unpublishes a live page - readers lose it; "discarded" drops unpublished changes and goes back to what is live, keeping the discarded version in the history; "archived" archives the page AND everything beneath it, removing the lot from the tree, search and every reader path while its paths keep redirecting; "restored" brings an archived subtree back. The response says how many pages the act covered - more than one for an archive or a restore.

Turn the approval-review flow on or off for an existing collection (requested=true to request review, false to cancel). Use this to enable review/annotation on a collection that was published without it - review is a property of the collection, so there is no need to re-publish a copy to get it. To LEAVE review once the work is done, prefer end_review, which checks the threads are resolved first.

Replace this workspace's operating manual with `body` (markdown), and return the updated guide. An empty body resets it to the built-in default. Each save is versioned. Owner/admin only.

Map a collection into another space you belong to (e.g. a shared client space), or remove that mapping. Requires membership of both spaces. space_id is the TARGET space (id or name from list_spaces); do not put it in `space`, which is the space you act from. Pass remove=true to unmap it from space_id instead (visibility from that space ends immediately; the origin space cannot be removed).
