list_modelsread-only

List the ids of all currently registered Valem models (alphabetical).

create_model

Create a new model from a declarative ModelSpec. The spec carries the JSON schema plus derivations (computed fields), constraints (invariants), and optional effects. Returns the created id. Fails (isError) on an invalid spec. If the requested id is already taken, a numeric postfix (-2, -3, …) is appended so the create still succeeds — always read the returned id, it may differ from the one you sen

get_model_inforead-only

Get summary info for a model: id, version, and derivation/meta/constraint/effect counts.

get_specread-only

Get the full stored ModelSpec JSON for a model.

get_libraryread-only

List the JSONata functions and values a model's library exports — what an expression in this model may call, with signature, arity and originating layer. Call it before writing an expression so you reuse the model's existing vocabulary instead of re-deriving it. Returns null when the model declares no library.

get_stateread-only

Get a model's merged state (base fields plus all computed derived fields). On a large model this is the biggest context cost — narrow it: pass 'paths' to project only specific subtrees (canonical addresses, each spliced back into a pruned document at its address), and/or 'depth' to cap nesting (deeper containers collapse to a '<object: N fields>' / '<array: N items>' marker). Pass an optional ISO-

get_fieldread-only

Get the value of a single field by its JSON Path address (e.g. "$.order.total"). Evaluates a LAZY derivation on demand.

mutate

Apply field mutations to a model and run the reactive pipeline (derivations recompute, constraints enforce, effects dispatch). 'mutations' is a flat map keyed by canonical JSON Path address, e.g. {"$.order.qty": 3}. A ROLLBACK constraint violation returns isError with the structured list of violated constraints. Returns the actionable summary (derivedUpdated / flaggedConstraints / dispatchedEffect

patch_model

Apply an RFC 6902 JSON Patch document to a model and run the reactive pipeline. Unlike 'mutate' (a flat address→value map), a patch expresses array insert/remove/move and test/copy ops, e.g. [{"op":"add","path":"/order/items/-","value":{...}}, {"op":"remove","path":"/order/items/0"}]. 'path' fields use RFC 6901 JSON Pointer (slash-separated, '-' for array append), NOT the $.-rooted address form. S

get_effective_schemaread-only

Get the effective JSON Schema for a field: the static schema overlaid with LIVE meta-derived constraints (current min/max/required/…). Check this BEFORE writing a value to learn what the reactive pipeline will accept, instead of discovering an invalid mutation only by trying it and getting a schema-violation error.

snapshotread-only

Capture an immutable point-in-time snapshot of a model's state (base document + derived/meta caches). A natural safety step before a risky evolve_spec: keep the returned snapshot and, if the change goes wrong, hand it back to 'restore' to roll the state back.

restorecan modify

Restore a model's state from a snapshot previously returned by 'snapshot' (pass it back verbatim as 'snapshot'). Overwrites the model's current base state. The snapshot must be for the same model.

explainread-only

Explain why a field is what it is: returns the recent derivation/constraint trace records for a path from the in-memory ring buffer (inputs, expression, result). For a constraint use the synthetic path "$constraint:<id>". Trace records can be bulky — pass 'limit' to return only the most recent N.

get_historyread-only

List the ISO-8601 timestamps of a model's committed mutations (most recent 100).

get_auditread-only

Query a model's durable, append-only audit trail (newest-first): one record per committed reactive cycle (mutations, derivedUpdated, traces, flaggedConstraints, dispatchedEffects, source, sequence). This is the queryable superset of get_history/explain — it survives the in-memory ring buffer rolling over. Filter with an optional 'pathPrefix' (canonical address), an ISO-8601 'from'/'to' window, and

verify_auditread-only

Verify the tamper-evidence hash chain of a model's durable audit trail. Returns {valid, recordsChecked, firstBrokenSequence, detail}; a false 'valid' points at the first altered/reordered/deleted record. (Embedded mode has no hash chain and reports valid.)

upload_blob

Store binary content (base64-encoded in 'data') in the content-addressed blob store and get back a BlobRef {$blobId, $mediaType, $bytes} to embed in a model's binary field. Storage is content-addressed (SHA-256), so uploading identical bytes returns the same $blobId.

download_blobread-only

Fetch a blob's bytes by id, base64-encoded in the result. Pass 'modelId' to fetch a blob referenced by a specific model (access-scoped); omit it for a direct store fetch. Large blobs may exceed the result-size limit — this channel suits small binaries only.

evolve_speccan modify

Apply an incremental SpecEvolution diff to a model, preserving live state. Returns the new version. Fails (isError) if the evolved spec is invalid, if expectedVersion no longer matches, or if a schema change would strand existing state. Prefer targeted diffs (upsertSchemaNodes/upsertSchemaDefs, upsertComponents, upsertConstants) over resending a whole section (newSchema/newViewDefinition/newConsta

delete_modelcan modify

Remove a model from the registry. Fails (isError) if the model does not exist.

get_viewread-only

Evaluate a model's embedded view definition against current state and return the resolved component tree. Pass an optional 'viewId' for a named view; omit for the default view.

get_domain_guidanceread-only

Get vetted instructions for the hard modelling shapes this domain involves (progressive tax/fee charges, per-period schedules, classification, date math, group-by, …). Read the model description in ANY language, pick the matching topic ids, and call this BEFORE authoring the spec — then follow what it returns. Available topics: - amortization_schedule — A computed array / per-period schedule: an

validate_specread-only

Validate a ModelSpec WITHOUT creating it: returns a 'valid' flag plus structured findings (errors + warnings, each with a location and message). Use this to iterate on a draft — fix the reported errors, re-validate — before committing with create_model.

eval_expressionread-only

Evaluate a single JSONata expression against a sample input document and return the computed value, or the exact compile/eval error. Write the expr exactly as in a derivation/constraint 'expr': bare dot-paths, no leading $ (e.g. "loan.amount * loan.annualRate / 1200"). Use this to verify an expression before putting it in a spec — it uses the same compiler the runtime validates against. If the exp

test_specread-only

Run a spec's embedded test cases (or ad-hoc given->expect cases) through the real reactive pipeline in a throwaway runtime, returning pass/fail plus per-field failures (path, expected, actual). Use this to certify domain behavior before create_model / promotion.

dry_runread-only

Compile a candidate ModelSpec in an ISOLATED throwaway runtime, apply optional sample mutations, and return the resulting merged state (base + derived) — WITHOUT registering it in the live registry. Use this to preview the full reactive cascade of a draft spec.

convert_spreadsheetread-only

Compile an uploaded .xlsx workbook's OWN formulas into a ready ModelSpec — deterministic transpilation (Excel formula language -> JSONata), never an LLM call: every number the compiled spec computes is checked to exactly match what the source workbook itself computed. One worksheet, one header-row table, a bounded numeric/boolean function set (IF/AND/OR/NOT/ROUND/ABS/SUM/AVERAGE/MIN/MAX/COUNT) — a

search_documentread-only

Deterministic, LLM-free search over an uploaded PDF/DOCX: ranks the document's pages/sections against your query (term-overlap, no embedding model, no network call) and returns the top matches with page/section citations and verbatim quotes. Cost is bounded by topK, never by document length — use this instead of reading a whole large document into your own context. This tool never calls an LLM or

pair_browser

Pair this MCP session with a browser tab on the hosted Valem sandbox so both drive the same live model session. Mints a pairing on first call (or resumes an existing not-yet-approved one) and waits up to a minute for the developer to approve it. Returns {status:"paired"|"already_paired", namespaceId} once done, or {status:"pending", verificationUri, verificationUriComplete, userCode, expiresInSec}
