Provenance No attestation
The registry publishes no build provenance for this version, so there is nothing to verify.

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 →
fetch Fetch (Nothing) ~40
Fetches nothing. Returns an empty document for any id, because nothing is stored here.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| id | string | yes | Document id. Every id resolves to nothing. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
nothing Do Nothing ~59
Deliberately does nothing and returns '...'. Use it to acknowledge a step that needs no action, or as a placeholder where a real database/dataset operation may live someday.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| anything | – | – | Optional. Anything at all. It will be politely ignored. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
pass_through Pass Through ~96
Returns the payload exactly as received (identity). This is Mr. Decoupler's seam: route data operations through it today, swap in a real implementation later without changing the AI-facing contract.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| operation | string | – | Optional label for the intended operation, e.g. 'query', 'insert', 'transform'. Not executed. |
| payload | – | yes | Any JSON value (object, array, string, number, boolean or null). |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
search Search (Nothing) ~34
Always returns an empty result list. It never searches any data.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| query | string | yes | Search query. It will find nothing. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
