MCP tools — 11 exposed · ~719 tokens

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.

Tool Tokens
book_outline ~38

The map of Open and Async: every section and chapter with a one-line TL;DR. Use it to find the right chapter for a topic.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

convert_meeting_to_async ~81

Given a meeting's purpose or agenda, propose the async equivalent: the artifact that replaces it, where it lives, who decides, and the deadline. Meetings are a point of escalation, not the default.

NameTypeReqDescription
agendaarrayAgenda items, if any.
purposestringyesWhy the meeting exists / what it's meant to accomplish.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

draft_decision_doc ~100

Turn a decision plus its options into a structured, async-friendly decision record (ADR): context, options with tradeoffs, the decision, and its reversibility. Write the decision down so others can follow it without a meeting.

NameTypeReqDescription
contextstringBackground: what forces this decision now.
decisionstringyesThe decision to be made, in one line.
optionsarrayCandidate options. Two or three is plenty.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_chapter_summary ~59

Return a chapter's TL;DR plus its taglines and a link to read the full chapter. Summary only — no body text.

NameTypeReqDescription
slugstringyesChapter slug, e.g. 'impact-over-input' (from book_outline).

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_guidance ~71

Role-aware guidance (manager or IC) for a topic, paraphrased from the book's role callouts, with a chapter citation.

NameTypeReqDescription
rolestringAudience: 'manager', 'ic', or 'any' (default).
topicstringyesThe topic you want guidance on.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_taglines ~46

Return the book's shareable taglines and their quote-card URLs. Optionally filter to one chapter.

NameTypeReqDescription
chapterstringChapter slug to filter by (omit for all).

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

handle_objection ~54

Map a common objection to open/async work ('async is slow', 'remote kills culture') to the book's reframe, with a chapter citation.

NameTypeReqDescription
objectionstringyesThe skepticism or pushback to address.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

run_async_standup ~69

Return a structured async-standup prompt a team can adopt in any chat or issue — replaces the daily sync standup with a written, searchable thread that respects every time zone.

NameTypeReqDescription
cadencestringe.g. 'daily', 'twice a week'. Defaults to daily.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

score_status_update ~58

Score a draft status update against the 'work loudly / no surprises' rubric and suggest fixes. Good updates surface blockers early, state outcomes over activity, and link to the work.

NameTypeReqDescription
updatestringyesThe draft status update to score.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

search_principles ~79

Keyword search across the book's summary corpus (TL;DRs, key-takeaways, taglines, and reviewed frameworks). Returns short, cited snippets — a snippet view, not full text.

limitintegerMax results (default 5, capped at 10).
querystringyesWhat you're looking for.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

triage_sync_vs_async ~64
