MCP tools — 19 exposed · ~2,081 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
origingrid_approve_contribution ~53

Approve a pending source-card contribution (admin only; requires admin_token when ORIGINGRID_ADMIN_TOKEN is set)

NameTypeReqDescription
admin_tokenstring
contribution_idintegeryes

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

origingrid_contribute ~66

Submit a new URL as a source-card candidate (anonymous, pending review). [ASRP: Use AFTER finding a URL that is useful but not yet in the registry.]

NameTypeReqDescription
categorystring
titlestring
urlstringyes

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

origingrid_discover ~150

Discover first-hand information sources for a topic from the OriginGrid local registry — no external search engine involved. Optionally narrow by topic and/or region. Follow up with origingrid_fetch(url) for live content or origingrid_get_source for details. [ASRP: Use FIRST for broad topic discovery. Follow with origingrid_plan for multi-step fetch or origingrid_fetch for single URL.]

NameTypeReqDescription
limitinteger
querystringyesTopic or theme to discover sources for
regionstringOptional region filter (e.g. cn, global, academic)
topicstringOptional topic/category filter (e.g. programming, finance)

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

origingrid_execute_batch ~249

Execute multiple search plan steps in batch. Accepts `steps` (array of step objects from origingrid_plan) and optional `parallel_groups` (array of arrays of step indices). Steps within the same parallel_group run concurrently on the server — the agent doesn't need to manage concurrency. Supports per-step timeout, automatic retry (default 1), and error isolation (one step failing doesn't affect others). Concurrency is limited to 8 by default for VPS memory safety. Returns structured results with elapsed timing per step. Combine with origingrid_plan: plan → execute_batch → agent reads the results. [ASRP: Call AFTER origingrid_plan. Steps in same parallel_group run concurrently.]

NameTypeReqDescription
batch_timeoutintegerTotal batch timeout in seconds (max 90)
parallel_groupsarrayOptional: groups of step indices to run in parallel. Each group waits for the previous to finish. Default: one step per group (serial).
retry_countintegerNumber of retry attempts per step
step_timeoutintegerPer-step timeout in seconds
stepsarrayyesArray of step objects (from origingrid_plan steps)
NameTypeReqDescription
completedinteger
concurrency_limitinteger

total_elapsed_msinteger

No examples provided.

origingrid_feedback ~134

Submit feedback (rating 1-5) for a source returned in a previous search, using that search's `search_id` (from origingrid_search response). Feeds source quality signals; rating 3 = neutral, no positive/negative bias.

NameTypeReqDescription
commentstringoptional context
ratingintegeryes1=bad, 2=poor, 3=neutral, 4=good, 5=excellent
search_idintegeryessearch_id from a previous origingrid_search response
source_idstringyessource_id from the search results

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

origingrid_fetch ~193

Fetch first-hand content from a URL. Returns `structuredContent.data` with {title, content, url, cache_hit, fetched_at}. Read `.data.content` directly — the metadata and content are separated. Pass `delivery_level=excerpt` (default) for ~300 chars, `full` for complete content. [ASRP: Call AFTER origingrid_search. Loop over sources[] and fetch each source.url.]

NameTypeReqDescription
delivery_levelstringContent delivery level: full=complete, excerpt=~300 chars, title=only title
querystring
selectorstringCSS selector to extract (default: body)
source_idstringRegistered source id (local-index fallback)

urlstringDirect URL to fetch live (first-hand content, cached locally)

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

origingrid_get_source ~31

Get details for a single information source by its source_id

NameTypeReqDescription
source_idstringyes

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

origingrid_list ~102

List available information sources, optionally filtered by topic and/or region. Supports `limit`/`offset` pagination; the response reports the **total** number of matches so you can page through all results. [ASRP: Browse available sources by category. Use for exploration before planning.]

NameTypeReqDescription
limitinteger
offsetintegerSkip the first N results for pagination
regionstring
topicstring

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

origingrid_pending_contributions ~74

List pending source-card contributions awaiting admin review (admin only; requires admin_token when ORIGINGRID_ADMIN_TOKEN is set). Review loop: list pending → origingrid_approve_contribution(id)

NameTypeReqDescription
admin_tokenstringAdmin token (required only if ORIGINGRID_ADMIN_TOKEN is configured)

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

origingrid_plan ~172

Generate an executable search plan for an AI agent. Returns a structured JSON plan with ordered steps, each containing an executable URL with method, expected latency, difficulty, and priority. The agent executes the steps itself — no search-engine caching. Steps within the same parallel_group can be fetched concurrently. Requires browser for yellow-difficulty sources. [ASRP: Call AFTER search/discover. Pass the returned steps to origingrid_execute_batch for concurrent execution.]

NameTypeReqDescription
intentstringExplicit intent override (auto/about/products/docs/pricing/news/contact/search/academic/code). Default: auto-detect
max_sourcesintegerMaximum number of plan steps to return (max 20)
querystringyesSearch query
timeout_hintintegerAgent's max acceptable wait in seconds
NameTypeReqDescription

No examples provided.

origingrid_reject_contribution ~98

Reject a pending source-card contribution (admin only; requires admin_token when ORIGINGRID_ADMIN_TOKEN is set). Optionally pass `reason`. Review loop: list pending → origingrid_approve_contribution(id) / origingrid_reject_contribution(id)

NameTypeReqDescription
admin_tokenstring
contribution_idintegeryes
reasonstringOptional rejection reason (stored for the contributor)

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

origingrid_resolve ~176

Resolve a natural-language query into directly executable first-hand source URLs. Returns structured JSON with executable_url that the agent opens locally. Supports searchable sources (API/search URLs with query parameters) and navigable sources (key pages like about/products/docs/pricing). Does NOT proxy-fetch or submit URLs to general-purpose search engines. [ASRP: Lightweight alternative to plan+execute_batch. Use for direct URL resolution without multi-step plans. For complex queries, use origingrid_plan instead.]

NameTypeReqDescription
intentstringExplicit intent override (auto/about/products/docs/pricing/news/contact/search/academic/code). Default: auto-detect
limitintegerMax results
querystringyesNatural language query
regionstringOptional region filter
topicstringOptional topic/category filter
NameTypeReqDescription

No examples provided.

origingrid_search ~108

Search for AI agent information sources. Returns `structuredContent.sources[]` with {source_id, name, url, region, difficulty, score}. Read the array directly — no Markdown parsing. Then call origingrid_fetch for each source's URL to get actual content. [ASRP: Use FIRST to find sources. Then fetch each source.url.]

NameTypeReqDescription
