Read from the source code; the running server may differ. Descriptions are the server’s own words; hidden characters are shown as [U+…].
calibrate_profileCalibrate a user’s receiver profileread-onlyBuild a ReceiverProfile (TI, SG, FT, UE, AR — continuous 0-100, never a category label) from five behavioral forced-choice answers. Call with NO answers to get the five questions to ask the user; call again with their answers (a/b/c per primitive) to get the profile. Store the returned profile JSON in the user’s notes or memory and pass it to render_reply / prepare_prompt on every turn. Deterministic and stateless — nothing is stored server-side. Schema: https://rpcs1.dev/v1/receiver-profile.json
forkFork view — how could this message read?read-onlyThe calibrated ambiguity surface: deterministic structural fork detectors (reference, scope, grouping, compare-vs-choose, polysemy) with character-offset spans, plus per-reading one-line clarifiers the sender can append to lock a reading in. Returns competing readings, an ask-back question, and a forked-answer scaffold. Silent on clean text by contract. Runs the deterministic mirror floor only over MCP (no model). Prefer this over interpret for span-level ambiguity detection: interpret’s entity list is a word-list engine (calibrated 2026-08-15: no discrimination on conversational text) — advis…
interpretInterpret ambiguous human inputread-onlyDetect ambiguity in a user message and score candidate interpretations using the RPCS-1 Signature Ambiguity Framework. Returns literal summary, implied meaning, confidence, AR level (AR0-AR5), ambiguities, clarifying questions, and per-candidate scores (IC, UE, EC, NM, SG, TI). Use when a user says something vague, passive-aggressive, or underspecified.
list_second_brainList available notesread-onlyList the notes the user has allowed (metadata only: path, title, last-modified date — no content). Newest first, up to 200. Optional folder filter. Use it to browse before reading.
normalizeNormalize fragmented human inputread-onlyClean up text with ellipses, fragments, and run-on thoughts into coherent prose. Returns the number of fragments detected and the joined version. Use when a user types stream-of-consciousness or fragmented input.
prepare_promptPrepare a user’s message before acting on itread-onlyThe inbound half of the Translation Bridge loop. Takes the user’s raw message (possibly ambiguous, fragmented, or underspecified) plus their ReceiverProfile, and returns the recovered intent, a canonical translation to act on, ambiguity level, and — profile-aware — whether to clarify or commit. Call this before acting on any ambiguous user request. Scope note: its detectors are lexical/structural (vague signals, ambiguous references) — for the commit-vs-clarify DECISION, route_intent (with your own proposed readings) is the authority; when they disagree, follow route_intent.
read_second_brain_noteRead one noteread-onlyRead a single note by its vault path (as returned by search or list). Returns up to 8000 characters per call; when truncated, call again with the offset the result gives you. Only notes inside the user's allowed folders can be read.
recommend_agent_configurationRecommend AI agent configurationread-onlyDiagnose why a deployed AI agent may fail. Takes environmental entropy, predictability, stakes, context horizon, and commitment style, then returns receiver profile values (TI, SG, FT, UE, AR), platform parameters (temperature, top_p, strategy), regime prediction, reasoning, and warnings. Optionally pass target_model to attach MEASURED per-model receiver posture (E-LIT table). Deterministic, stateless, read-only — does not store past recommendations.
render_replyRender a reply for a specific user’s receiver profileread-onlyThe outbound half of the Translation Bridge loop. Takes your draft reply plus the user’s ReceiverProfile and returns deterministic rendering instructions (structure, warmth, explicitness, revision posture, ambiguity handling — each with a why-trace). Apply the instructions to your draft before answering. Call this on every reply to a calibrated user.
report_perceptionReport the perceived readings of the user message.
rewriteRewrite text for a target audienceread-onlyGet rewrite instructions for adapting text to a specific audience style: technical, plain, socially_gentle, concise, detailed, or direct. Pass the result to an LLM with the rewrite_instructions as the system prompt. Use when communication needs tone adjustment.
route_intentRoute an ambiguous request: commit, present options, or clarifyread-onlyEntropy routing over competing interpretations — the model proposes, the deterministic core disposes. YOU generate the candidate readings of the user’s message (3–7 short hypotheses covering the plausible interpretations, INCLUDING likely-typo readings, idiom-vs-literal readings, and domain senses) and pass them as hypotheses, ideally with your own likelihoods (0–1 per reading) AND a paraphrase per reading — the user’s message rewritten unambiguously under that interpretation, so the user can VERIFY intent by recognition before anything commits (one misread prompt skews a whole thread). The ro…
save_to_second_brainSave a note to the second brainSave a NEW note into the user's second brain — only when the user asks to keep something. Writes only into their write-back folder (never elsewhere), never overwrites, and wikilinks the source notes you pass — so the note appears in their Obsidian graph connected to the knowledge it used. Pass the vault paths you actually drew from as sources.
search_second_brainSearch the second brainread-onlySearch the user's own notes for context relevant to the task. Returns up to 6 short snippets (≤2400 chars total) chosen by a deterministic local scorer (their words × their note titles/headings × recency), each labeled with its source note path — cite those paths. Every snippet returned is disclosed to the user. Use plain topical words (as the user would title a note), not full sentences.
