Looks things up and changes nothing. Claude Code: allow.

### `fetch_commentary`

- The name "fetch_commentary" says "fetch": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Returns the commentary on a verse or passage (Rashi, Ramban, Ibn Ezra, Sforno and others), in each commentator's own words, with links. Can be limited to named commentators.
```

### `fetch_text`

- The name "fetch_text" says "fetch": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Returns the full Hebrew and English text of one canonical ref, or of up to 10 refs, with links. A range such as 'Shabbat 21b:5-11' works. Text is cut at about 3000 characters per language for one ref (1500 when several are read) and marked [TRUNCATED].
```

### `resolve_ref`

- The name "resolve_ref" says "resolve": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Turns a natural-language reference ('Rambam Teshuvah 2', 'Hilchot Shabbat ch. 5') into the library's canonical ref, or returns suggested completions.
```

### `semantic_search`

- The name "semantic_search" says "search": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Searches the library by meaning. Returns ranked passage snippets (the ref and its first ~180 characters) with links. Snippets are short excerpts, not full passages. Optional hebrew_terms rank passages that contain those Hebrew words higher.
```
