MCP tools · 7 exposed · ~916 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. 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
add_decision ~145

Record a decision in /memory/decisions. Appends a timestamped entry to the decisions section of soul.md. This is how the AI helps maintain soul.md as a living document — capturing decisions as they happen during conversation. Args: - decision (string): The decision to record. Be specific about what was chosen and why. - context (string, optional): Additional reasoning or alternatives considered. Returns: Confirmation with the recorded entry.

NameTypeReqDescription
contextstringOptional additional context or reasoning
decisionstringyesThe decision to record (e.g. "Chose Postgres over DynamoDB for billing — need ACID transactions")

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

add_lesson ~153

Record a lesson learned in /memory/lessons. Appends a timestamped entry to the lessons section. Captures insights and hard-won knowledge from debugging, incidents, code reviews, reading, or any learning moment. Args: - lesson (string): The lesson to record. Be specific and actionable. - source (string, optional): Where this lesson came from. Returns: Confirmation with the recorded entry.

NameTypeReqDescription
lessonstringyesThe lesson learned (e.g. "Redis SCAN is O(N) — don't use on hot paths without cursor batching")
sourcestringWhere the lesson came from (e.g. "production incident", "code review", "reading")

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_context ~148

Retrieve the user's identity context for the current or specified mode. Returns all soul.md sections that should be injected for the given mode, as defined by mode_routing in /config. This is the primary way an LLM should bootstrap context about the user. Args: - mode (string, optional): One of work, personal, creative, learning. Defaults to the active_mode in soul.md config. Returns: Combined markdown of all sections relevant to the requested mode, including identity, values, voice, skills, and any mode-specific sections.

NameTypeReqDescription
modestringMode to resolve context for (work, personal, creative, learning). Defaults to active_mode from config.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_injection ~196

Build a smart context injection from soul.md for an LLM system prompt. Unlike get_context which returns raw sections, this runs the full injection algorithm: three-tier priority (always/by_mode/on_trigger), keyword matching for skill domains, person detection, voice dial conversion to behavioral instructions, and token budgeting (2500 max with priority-aware truncation). Use this when assembling the full identity blob for an LLM system prompt. Args: - mode (string, optional): One of work, personal, creative, learning. - message (string, optional): The user's message. Used for trigger matching. Returns: The injection text, token count, matched sections, triggered domains, and mentioned people.

NameTypeReqDescription
messagestringThe user's message. Used for keyword/skill/person triggering.
modestringMode (work, personal, creative, learning). Defaults to active_mode from config.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_skill_depth ~115

Retrieve detailed skill information for a specific domain. Searches soul.md skill sections for a matching domain and returns the full detail block including level, years, approach, heuristics, and taste. Args: - skill (string): Skill domain name to look up. Returns: Detailed skill section content if found, or a list of available skills with a suggestion to check skills.summary.

NameTypeReqDescription
skillstringyesSkill domain to look up (e.g. "backend systems", "observability", "frontend")

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

list_sections ~44

List all available sections in soul.md. Returns a tree-like listing of all sections with their paths, names, metadata, and child sections. Useful for discovering what's in the soul.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

update_now ~115

Replace the /now section with current focus and status. The /now section captures what the user is currently working on, thinking about, and prioritizing. This tool replaces it entirely with new content. Args: - content (string): New markdown content for the /now section. Should describe current projects, focus areas, blockers, and priorities. Returns: Confirmation with the new content.

NameTypeReqDescription
contentstringyesNew content for the /now section. Use markdown. This replaces the entire /now section.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.
