Measured tools (8)

• kata_search_research read-only

  Search live scholarly works through OpenAlex. Returns normalized real research records; never mock data.

  Parameters:

  • query (required) — string
  • limit — integer

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world yes

• kata_plan_triage read-only

  Create a deterministic triage plan from live OpenAlex results or supplied works without mutating a workspace.

  Parameters:

  • limit — integer
  • query — string
  • works — array
  • actions — object
  • criteria — object
  • maxItems — integer

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world yes

• kata_diagnose_web_interop read-only

  Classify observed WebMCP, MCP, browser and API constraints and return a conservative compliant integration path without weakening security controls.

  Parameters:

  • intent (required) — string
  • environment (required) — object

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world no

• kata_apply_command

  Apply one allowlisted semantic workspace command and return the next workspace snapshot.

  Parameters:

  • workspace (required) — object
  • command (required) — object

  Hints: read-only no · destructive no · idempotent yes · open-world no

• kata_compile_workflow read-only

  Compile two compatible semantic demonstrations into a deterministic JSON-Schema-constrained program.

  Parameters:

  • name (required) — string
  • demos (required) — array

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world no

• kata_execute_program

  Execute a compiled deterministic program transactionally against a supplied workspace snapshot.

  Parameters:

  • workspace (required) — object
  • program (required) — object
  • input (required) — object

  Hints: read-only no · destructive no · idempotent yes · open-world no

• kata_preview_automation read-only

  Preview an automation and return matching works plus an integrity fingerprint. Makes no changes.

  Parameters:

  • workspace (required) — object
  • works (required) — array
  • automation (required) — object

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world no

• kata_run_automation

  Run a deterministic automation only when its preview fingerprint still matches current inputs. Nested tools are depth-bounded.

  Parameters:

  • workspace (required) — object
  • works (required) — array
  • automation (required) — object
  • previewFingerprint (required) — string

  Hints: read-only no · destructive no · idempotent no · open-world yes
