Read from the source code; the running server may differ. Descriptions are the server’s own words; hidden characters are shown as [U+…].
add_commentRaise a review comment on the paperPost a review comment anchored to a passage of the paper — for a reviewer agent marking up the document. Give the exact quoted text from the compiled paper (or the source prose) it refers to, and your comment/instruction. By default it is created as a *suggestion* the human accepts in the workspace before the author loop acts on it; pass accepted:true only in fully-autonomous ("copilot") mode to make it immediately actionable. Use this to leave many targeted comments rather than one long critique.
check_commentsCheck accepted PDF commentsList the comments the user has accepted on the rendered PDF, as located work items. Each has an id, page, the quoted passage, the source file:line it anchors to (best-effort), and the user's instruction. Call this when the user asks to "address/check my comments" (or after they mention leaving comments) — or on each pass of an agent loop watching for new comments. For each item: open the source at the given location, make the requested edit (saving triggers a recompile + a checkpoint automatically), then call resolve_comment with its id and a one-line note. If it returns none, there is nothing…
list_checkpointsList recent checkpointsList recent checkpoints (auto-saved on each successful compile) — sha, timestamp, and file/line-change stat, newest first. Use this to find a sha to pass into show_diff, or to cite specific saved versions when summarizing a multi-step editing session.
render_previewRender LaTeX previewCompile the current project's LaTeX to a PDF locally and update the live preview. Uses the machine's TeX install when it has one, otherwise a bundled WASM TeX Live in a headless browser — so no local TeX is required. Returns compile success/errors, which engine and backend ran, the file count, and the local preview URL — open it to see the rendered pages. Call this after editing .tex files to see and verify the rendered result.
reply_to_commentReply to a comment threadAdd a reply to a comment's thread — to ask the human a clarifying question, explain your reasoning, or (as a defender) push back on another agent's suggestion before it is resolved. Use the comment id from check_comments. This does not resolve the comment; use resolve_comment for that.
resolve_commentResolve a PDF commentMark a workspace comment as resolved after you have made the edit it asked for. Pass the comment id (from check_comments) and a one-line note describing what you changed — the note is shown to the user on the comment card.
show_diffShow diff (side-by-side image)Render a side-by-side git diff as an image, shown inline in the conversation. Use this when the user asks to SEE a diff visually — it returns a picture, not a text summary. Defaults to current uncommitted changes; pass a checkpoint sha for a specific saved version.
