Discuss on a node. action = add | update | resolve (mark a thread settled) | delete (soft tombstone; replies are preserved).

Operations that require extra caution or confirmation. dedupe_knowledge is a read-only candidate scan; the remaining actions are consequential. Action names carry their resource because this tool spans resources. action = cancel_task | force_claim_task | dedupe_knowledge | dedupe_pair | unlink | restore_node_version | retire_objective | merge_workspace | cherry_pick_workspace | archive_workspace | archive_component | merge_topics | run_loop_attempt | doctor. run_loop_attempt executes the exact declared shell command supplied in the approval arguments with a scrubbed environment when trusted local repository execution is available; hosted MCP fails closed.

Create long-form artifacts. action = create (a document — a plan, spec, or imported file) | create_diagram (a d2 diagram node).

Fetch one node in full by its shareable id (TASK-N/KNOW-N/COMP-N/DOC-N/NODE-N), with its edges — this is how you read a full body (recall/search return summaries). Pass version to fetch a historical snapshot instead of the current one.

Inspect one thing in depth: action = context (a node's neighborhood bundle) | provenance (why a node exists / what it superseded) | briefing (a session briefing) | claim_history (a task's claim/release trail) | workspace (a workspace's detail) | stats (project totals) | loop (fail-closed local Git verification of a task's protected check paths).

Capture or curate knowledge. action = create (file a typed fact — decision, lesson, risk, …) | review (mark a node re-verified against current reality). Merging duplicate knowledge lives in the `destructive` tool.

List a collection: what = nodes | components | topics | documents | diagrams | objectives | workspaces | comments | node_versions | projects, with per-what filters. what:"projects" is the project-less bootstrap (discover your slugs). Page with limit/cursor.

List tasks, most-recently-updated first, filterable by status, component, assignee, and kind — the roadmap/board view of work.

Edit a node or its structure. action = update (edit fields/body) | move (re-file under a component or workspace) | link (add a typed edge between two nodes). Removing an edge (unlink) lives in the `destructive` tool.

Shape the roadmap. action = create | add_milestone | attach (task → milestone) | move (task → objective) | detach | reorder | set_target | achieve. Retiring an objective lives in the `destructive` tool.
