Pulled straight from the server with tools/list on 2026-10-17.
principles.listread-only

List Blueprint doctrine with stable slugs, titles, and clusters. The lens selects which of the three public doctrines: 'architecture' = the 10 agentic principles (default, the architect.validate rubric); 'surface' = the 8 experience-design laws (the design.validate rubric); 'spec' = the 8 spec-quality laws (the spec.validate rubric). Use this when you need the full inventory or want every entry in

clusters.listread-only

List all principle clusters with their stable slugs and linked principle titles. Use this to discover which clusters exist before drilling in with clusters.get or filtering principles.list by cluster. Prefer clusters.get when you already know the cluster slug and need full detail.

principles.getread-only

Get one doctrine entry by stable slug. The lens selects the doctrine: 'architecture' = one of the 10 agentic principles (default); 'surface' = one of the 8 experience-design laws; 'spec' = one of the 8 spec-quality laws. Returns id, title, cluster, definition, rationale, implications, and risk-if-violated (laws also carry their eponym and validator_questions). Use this when you already have the ex

clusters.getread-only

Get one principle cluster by stable slug. Returns the cluster definition, shared rationale, and the full set of member principles (slug + title) so the caller can pivot into principles.get without a second list call. WHEN TO CALL: the user has already named a specific cluster (e.g. 'delegation', 'visibility', 'trust', 'orchestration') OR you have a slug from a prior clusters.list / principles.list

examples.getread-only

Get one curated example by stable slug. Returns title, summary, source-code links, principle coverage (the principle slugs the example demonstrates), difficulty, library/framework, and implementation notes. Use this when you already have the slug from examples.search, a principles.get response, or a guide cross-link; prefer examples.search when filtering by topic / principle / difficulty / library

principles.searchread-only

Search Blueprint principles by free-text query and return the closest matches ranked by relevance. Use this to find principles related to a specific design challenge, failure mode, or keyword (e.g. 'reversibility', 'approval flow', 'delegation boundary'). Returns principle title, cluster, definition, rationale, and implementation heuristics. Prefer this over principles.list when you have a specifi

examples.searchread-only

Search curated examples by free-text query, ranked by relevance, with optional filters: principle_ids (only examples covering those principles), difficulty (beginner/intermediate/advanced), library (e.g. 'langgraph', 'openai'). Returns each match's slug, title, summary, principle coverage, difficulty, library, and source-code link: slug is the handle examples.get hydrates. Default limit 5, capped

assets.listread-only

Public: list downloadable doctrine and agent asset artifacts (skill packs, rule packs, MCP setup snippets) the user can drop into their AI coding tool to import the Blueprint as native skill/rule files. Returns a list of assets with name, format (one of: zip / md / markdown / mdc / json / toml / text, the full vocabulary), pack_version, download_url, and platform target (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex

guides.listread-only

List application guides that show how Blueprint principles apply to engineering challenges (security, evaluation, observability, etc.). Use this to discover which guides exist before drilling in. Prefer guides.search when the user describes a topic or failure mode in natural language. Prefer guides.get when you already know the guide slug and need full detail.

guides.getread-only

Get a full application guide by its stable slug (e.g. 'security-application', 'observable-evaluation'). Returns sections, action items, and linked principles. Use this when you already have the guide slug from guides.list or guides.search. Prefer guides.search when the user describes a topic in natural language; prefer guides.list when you need the full inventory.

guides.searchread-only

Search application guides by free-text query, matched against section answers and action items. Use this when the user describes an engineering challenge (security review, evaluation harness, observability) and wants matching guides. Prefer guides.get when you already have the guide slug; prefer guides.list when you need the full inventory.

signals.report

Records a value moment (e.g. review_confidence, runtime_risk_found, workflow_clarity) after a successful validate run on any lens (architect.validate, design.validate, or spec.validate) or a doctrine session. Each event stores event_type, surface_used (mcp or the site section), perceived_value (1-5), and an optional short free-text note, brief_context (up to 500 characters). WHEN TO CALL: after ar

signals.feedback

Public: records explicit free-text user feedback about the Blueprint, this tool surface, or a specific principle/example. Captures category (bug, doctrine_critique, missing_example, ergonomics, other), free-text body, and optional contact_email when permission_to_follow_up is true. WHEN TO CALL: ONLY when the user explicitly says they want to give feedback (e.g. 'can you log this as feedback', 'fi

architect.validate

Pro/Teams: first-pass doctrine review of agentic code/workflow against the 10-principle AI Design Blueprint doctrine. ON CLIENT TIMEOUT: DO NOT RETRY THIS TOOL. Long-running LLM call (60-180s typical); MCP clients commonly close the call before the server returns. Retrying re-runs the 60-180s LLM call from scratch and burns compute. RECOVERY: the run_id is emitted in the FIRST notifications/progre

design.validate

Pro/Teams: first-pass surface-craft review of a FRONTEND artefact (component, screen, or flow) against the 8 laws of the Experience Design Blueprint. The surface-craft companion to architect.validate: where architect.validate scores agentic ARCHITECTURE against the 10 agentic principles, design.validate scores the PERCEPTIBLE SURFACE, what the user sees, taps, scans, and remembers (Jakob's familia

spec.validate

Pro/Teams: first-pass specification-quality review of a WRITTEN SPEC (proposal, design doc, task breakdown, or an OpenSpec-style change bundle) against the 8 laws of the Spec Quality Blueprint. The what-to-build lens of the doctrine trio, applied BEFORE code exists: where architect.validate scores built agentic ARCHITECTURE and design.validate scores the rendered SURFACE, spec.validate scores the

architect.validate_consensus

Pro/Teams: N-shot CONSENSUS doctrine review of agentic code. ON CLIENT TIMEOUT: DO NOT RETRY THIS TOOL. Long-running (~80-120s for N=3 parallel LLM calls); MCP clients often close the call before the server returns. Retrying re-runs N × 60-180s LLM calls from scratch and burns N× compute. RECOVERY: same heartbeat pattern as architect.validate, the run_id is emitted in the FIRST progress event at t

architect.certify

Pro/Teams: second-pass adversarial certification of an architect.validate run that scored production_ready (A or B first-pass tier). ON CLIENT TIMEOUT: DO NOT RETRY THIS TOOL. **RECOVERY FIRST**: the run_id is emitted in the FIRST notifications/progress event at t=0s (BEFORE the LLM call begins). Capture it. On timeout, call `me.validation_history(run_id='<that-id>')` to fetch the persisted cert v

team.summarizeread-only

Teams/Enterprise: summarises the caller's tool-usage patterns and value signals over a configurable window (default 30 days). Returns period_days, most_used_tools (call counts and average latency), value_events by event_type, observed_usage_stage, validator_lenses_used, recommended_next_assets and private_session. WHEN TO CALL: the user asks 'how is the Blueprint helping me/my team', 'what should

me.learning_pathread-only

Authenticated: returns the caller's Blueprint learning-path state: current course slug, stage progress, certification status (Foundation, Practitioner, Capstone), Capstone track eligibility flags, and the next recommended stage. WHEN TO CALL: the user asks 'where am I', 'what's next', or 'am I Capstone-eligible'; before suggesting next-step coaching content. WHEN NOT TO CALL: as a heartbeat (state

me.coaching_contextread-only

Authenticated: returns stages in the caller's active course where recorded evidence is thin relative to the stage's principle requirements. Each thin stage carries the missing principle slugs + a short diagnostic so the caller can suggest the user record concrete evidence. WHEN TO CALL: when the user asks 'what should I work on next' or 'what's weak in my Blueprint progress'; before suggesting whi

me.add_evidence

Authenticated: append a free-text evidence note to a specific stage in the caller's active course. Notes record concrete implementation observations, decisions, or artefacts that demonstrate progress through a Blueprint principle (e.g. how a delegation boundary was implemented, what approval flow was chosen and why). Persisted as UserStageEvidence rows scoped to (user_id, course_slug, stage_slug).

me.sessionsread-only

Pro/Teams: list or inspect the authenticated user's Governed Sessions (GEP-M2): durable, owner-scoped containers that group validation runs across lenses (architect.validate → 'architecture', design.validate → 'surface', spec.validate → 'spec') into one timeline for one piece of work. Two modes: (1) No arguments returns every session (id, title, status, repo_url, spec_ref, team_agents, run_count,

me.session_event

Pro/Teams: append a TYPED TEAM EVENT to a Governed Session's timeline (GEP-M6). This is how the user's own harness makes trio work inspectable: handoffs between role lenses, pushbacks, plan previews, gates, and acks land as structured events next to the validation runs, so the session reads as a system, not a transcript. CHANNEL PROVENANCE: this MCP channel posts the AGENT-SIDE vocabulary only. `s

me.await_steerread-only

Pro/Teams. BLOCK until the session owner posts the next `steer` event to a Governed Session from AIDB Studio, then return it. DELIVERY GUARANTEE: the durable cursor read against the session log is authoritative (at-least-once: a lost response is safely re-issuable with the same cursor, and timed_out is only returned after a final confirming read). The in-between wake-up is a best-effort in-process

me.validation_historyread-only

Pro/Teams: return the authenticated user's validation run history for all three lenses (architect.validate → validator='architecture', design.validate → validator='surface', spec.validate → validator='spec') with the Blueprint Readiness Score (0-100), letter grade (A-F), and tier (draft, emerging, production_ready). Each run carries a `validator` field naming its lens. Three lookup modes: (1) `run

handoffs.operator

Authenticated: creates a support handoff record when an agent needs human review, account-specific escalation, or operator follow-up that cannot be resolved with the read-only doctrine tools. Persists a SupportHandoff row (reason, topic, page_url, agent_name, agent_platform, trace_summary, user_email) routed to the support inbox; user is contacted by the team. WHEN TO CALL: user explicitly asks fo

handoffs.partnership

Authenticated: creates a partnerships handoff record for design-partner, ecosystem, training, or advisory conversations needing human review. Persists a PartnershipHandoff row routed to the partnerships inbox; the user is contacted by the team. WHEN TO CALL: user explicitly wants to engage as a design partner, co-marketing/training partner, or evaluate the Blueprint for their org's training progra

handoffs.agency

Authenticated: submit an agency engagement enquiry on behalf of the caller for a founder-led discovery call. Persists an AgencyHandoff row routed to the agency inbox; the user is contacted by the team for a scoped proposal. Engagement scopes: workflow sprint (rapid agentic workflow implementation), proof-of-concept (validate a specific agent design in a bounded timeframe), pilot support (co-design
