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 →
add_provider ~137
Add a new AI provider for brainstorming. Supports any OpenAI-compatible API.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| apiKeyEnvVar | string | yes | Environment variable name for the API key. Use 'NONE' if no key required. |
| baseURL | string | yes | API base URL, e.g. 'http://localhost:11434/v1' for Ollama |
| defaultModel | string | yes | Default model to use for this provider, e.g. 'llama3', 'mixtral-8x7b-32768' |
| name | string | yes | Provider name, e.g. 'groq', 'ollama', 'mistral' |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
brainstorm ~535
Run a multi-round brainstorming debate between multiple AI models. IMPORTANT: Before calling this tool, you MUST ask the user to choose a mode: 1. **API mode** — Uses external API keys to call models (OpenAI, Gemini, DeepSeek, etc.). Best when the user has API keys configured. 2. **Hosted mode** — No API keys needed. You execute prompts using sub-agents with models available in your environment (opus/sonnet/haiku, GPT, Gemini, etc.). Same model can be used multiple times — each run produces different perspectives. Present these two options to the user with a one-liner explanation, then proceed based on their choice. For API mode: set mode='api'. When participate=true (default), YOU also participate as a debater alongside external models via brainstorm_respond. For Hosted mode: set mode='hosted'. Ask the user which models to use, then spawn sub-agents for each model, collect responses, and call brainstorm_collect.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| context | string | – | Optional context to ground the debate — code snippets, PR diffs, error logs, architecture docs, etc. Models will see this alongside the topic. |
| mode | string | – | Execution mode. Must be provided — if not, the tool will return options for the user to choose. 'api' — MCP server calls model APIs directly using configured API keys. 'hosted' — No API keys needed.… |
| models | array | – | Optional: specific models to use as 'provider:model' (e.g. 'openai:gpt-4o'). If not provided, all configured providers are used with their default models. |
| participate | boolean | – | Whether Claude should actively participate as a debater in each round (default: true). Set to false for a non-interactive debate between external models only. |
| rounds | integer | – | Number of debate rounds (default: 3) |
| style | string | – | Debate style. 'freeform' (default): open brainstorming. 'redteam': adversarial — models find flaws, risks, and weaknesses. 'socratic': probing questions that expose assumptions and push for deeper un… |
| synthesizer | string | – | Optional: model for final synthesis as 'provider:model'. Defaults to the first model. |
| systemPrompt | string | – | Optional system prompt to guide the brainstorming style or constraints |
| topic | string | yes | The topic, question, or prompt to brainstorm about |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
brainstorm_collect ~155
Submit collected model responses for a hosted brainstorm session. After receiving prompts from `brainstorm` (mode='hosted') or a previous `brainstorm_collect` call, execute each prompt by spawning a sub-agent for EACH model (use the model parameter to select the right model, e.g., model='sonnet' or model='haiku'). Collect all responses and submit them here. This tool returns either: (1) the next round's prompt to execute, (2) a synthesis prompt for a single model, or (3) the final formatted debate result when complete.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| responses | array | yes | Array of model responses collected by the host |
| session_id | string | yes | The session ID from the brainstorm tool |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
brainstorm_quick ~158
Get instant multi-model perspectives on any question — no debate rounds, no synthesis delay. Fires all models in parallel and returns a compact comparison. Under 10 seconds. Use this for quick second opinions, snap decisions, or when you want diverse perspectives fast. For deeper analysis with multiple rounds and synthesis, use the `brainstorm` tool instead.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| context | string | – | Optional context — code snippets, error logs, etc. Models will see this alongside the topic. |
| models | array | – | Optional: specific models as 'provider:model'. If not provided, all configured providers are used. |
| style | string | – | Perspective style (default: freeform) |
| topic | string | yes | The question or topic to get quick perspectives on |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
brainstorm_respond ~132
Submit YOUR (Claude's) response for the current round of an interactive brainstorm session. After the brainstorm tool returns external models' responses, call this tool with your substantive contribution. Read all responses carefully and engage with specific points — agree, disagree, build upon, or challenge ideas. Do not just summarize. After your response, the next round runs automatically (or synthesis if final round).
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| response | string | yes | Your substantive contribution to this round of the debate. Engage deeply with the other models' responses. Minimum 50 characters. |
| session_id | string | yes | The session ID returned by the brainstorm tool |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
brainstorm_review ~189
Multi-model code review. Pass a diff and get structured findings with severity, file/line references, and a verdict (approve / approve with warnings / needs changes). Multiple models review independently, then findings are synthesized and deduplicated. Use this for PR reviews, code audits, or pre-commit checks.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| description | string | – | Optional: PR description or commit message |
| diff | string | yes | The unified diff to review (e.g., output of `git diff`) |
| focus | – | – | Optional: focus areas for the review. Default: all categories. |
| instructions | string | – | Optional: repo-specific review instructions (e.g., 'we use strict null checks', 'focus on SQL injection risks') |
| models | array | – | Optional: specific models as 'provider:model'. Default: all configured providers. |
| title | string | – | Optional: PR title or change summary for context |
