Capabilities

Tools 7

fetch

The full text of a post, case study, page or project as Markdown, or one section of it. The id can be an id from search or list_content (such as "work/sleep-anchor"), a path ("/about"), a brentburgess.com URL, a brentburgess:// URI or a unique slug ("consulting"). Add #anchor for one section, as search results do.

Discovered
get_profile

Who Brent Burgess is: his job title, a short introduction, where he is based, his current availability for work, his skills, how to reach him, and the main pages of the site. Use it first, and for any question about contacting or hiring him.

Discovered
get_site_stats

The figures on this site’s data page: browser page views and font downloads since launch, crawlers and scans in the latest complete week, commits, pull requests, CI runs and how long a merged change takes to go live, and the nightly pipeline’s tests and sources, each with the last day the data covers. For the tables behind them, use query_dataset.

Discovered
list_content

Every post, case study and page the server can read, newest first, with each one’s sections. Filter with kind ("post", "case_study" or "page"). Pass an id to fetch to read it.

Discovered
list_projects

The projects on the site: what each is, whether it is running, what it changed, the tools it uses, and its case study if there is one. Filter with status, for example "running".

Discovered
query_dataset

The rows of one table behind this site’s data page, oldest first, with each column’s type and meaning. Filter by date with from and to (YYYY-MM-DD), which apply to the table’s date column; if more rows match than the limit, the most recent are returned. Daily and weekly tables keep about a year.

Discovered
search

Full-text search over everything published: posts, case studies, the About, Consulting, Now, Privacy and Résumé pages (his work history is on the résumé), and the projects. Use plain keywords, such as "resumable upload" or "fixed-price audit". Each result is a section; pass its id to fetch to read it.
