Access

  • Pass
    Open access

    tools/list succeeded with no credential, and the record declares none.

  • Not measured

    Auth is not required, so the OAuth metadata check does not apply.

    Every tool description is at least 20 characters.

Capabilities

Tools 11

get_answer

Get one Answer — question, grounded answer, visible citations — by id or slug, in the Answer contract v0 shape (ANSWERS-PROGRAM.md). Read-only. Returns null if not found.

Discovered
get_guide

Get one guide's registry row by slug, with its artifact + routing-surface status.

Discovered
list_answers

List Answers (contract v0), paginated with an opaque cursor. Read-only.

Discovered
list_books

List the books on this front's catalog, one row per work, with kind (book_profile|free_book_page) and availability (available|preorder) tags. Filter by kind, availability, topic or q (title/author); page with limit/offset.

Discovered
list_capabilities

Traverse the capability spine joining books, guides (capability packages), KSAO-grade elements and jobs. Use min_guides=2 for the cross-cutting capabilities that span many guides, role=<role> for what a job requires, capability_detail=<slug> for one package with its elements and books hydrated. ksao_type/canon_component_id are null by design where unresolved — treat null as 'not yet joined', never as 'no link'.

Discovered
list_conditions

List organizational conditions (identity, label, guide count, causal-role counts). Filter by draft domain, subdomain, or causal_role (driver|mediator|outcome). Names and counts only — no addresses, no passages.

Discovered
list_disagreements

Where does the field disagree? Returns cross-book tension names and the books on each pole (title, author, library_id) plus the guide URL. Filter by slug, persona, or category. Names and provenance only — no passages.

Discovered
list_guides

List the bicycle.guide registry — every guide's home, status, access, standard, syndication and grounding, plus the distribution roll-up (including guides homed to a property with no rendering surface).

Discovered
list_taxonomy

Get the bicycle.guide vocabulary — domains, shelves (with live guide counts), series, personas, guide_types, and the classification conventions (pillar/spoke, discriminant home, bicycle-guide-serves-all) as machine-readable data rather than prose.

Discovered
search_answers

Search Answers by free-text query over question/answer text. Returns contract v0 records. Read-only.

Discovered
search_guides

Search published guides by topic. Returns matches, or a structured refusal with the nearest owned guides and the missing topic. No model call. Filter by persona or category.
