  • compute_availabilityGiven MTBF and MTTR (same time unit), return steady-state availability A = MTBF / (MTBF + MTTR).No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
    • The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Given MTBF and MTTR (same time unit), return steady-state availability A = MTBF / (MTBF + MTTR). One-line closed-form, but worth a dedicated tool so LLMs don't fumble the identity (the most common mistake is conflating MTBF with MTTF and silently inflating availability by the MTTR). Use whenever a user supplies an MTBF/MTTR pair and asks for availability. ANTI-FABRICATION: exact closed-form. Quote verbatim.

    • Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
    • The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Given a Weibull shape parameter β (and optionally the characteristic-life parameter η), return a plain-language interpretation: which bathtub-curve regime β implies (infant mortality / random / wearout), what action that suggests (process-of-care / steady-state monitoring / maintenance scheduling), and — if η provided — closed-form MTTF and B-life numbers from the Weibull formulas. Pure-math + lookup, no engine call, fully deterministic. Use when a user reports a fitted β and wants to know what to DO with it. ANTI-FABRICATION: MTTF and B-life are exact closed-form values from the two-parameter Weibull (η · Γ(1+1/β) and η · (-ln(1-p))^(1/β)). Quote them verbatim.

    • Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
    • The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Given a free-text symptom description (e.g. 'manufacturing burn-in', 'bearing wearout under variable load', 'cosmic-ray bit flips'), return an ordered shortlist of distribution candidates with a one-line rationale per recommendation. Keyword-matched against a curated dictionary; ALWAYS treat output as a starting point for fitting work, not a fit. The actual fitting happens in the ReliaStats sandbox (protected/app.html). ANTI-FABRICATION: rationales are written ChiAha content; the algorithm is a deterministic substring match. Quote verbatim.

    Why it is in this group

    • Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
    • The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Given per-component reliabilities and a structure ('series' or 'parallel'), return the system reliability. Series = product (all must work). Parallel = 1 − product(1−Rᵢ) (at least one works). Useful for back-of-envelope RBD calcs before reaching for full RBD tooling. For mixed-structure systems (series with parallel sub-blocks), call this tool repeatedly on the sub-blocks. ANTI-FABRICATION: exact closed-form. Quote verbatim.

    Description, as the server wrote it
    Given Weibull two-parameter (β, η), return all the closed-form summary statistics: MTTF (η·Γ(1+1/β)), B10 / B50 / B90 life, characteristic life (just η, surfaced explicitly), and — if evaluateAtT supplied — R(t), F(t), and hazard h(t) at that time. Pure-math, fully deterministic. Use when the user has a fit and wants the numbers downstream tools normally compute (don't recompute these from training-data recall — call this tool). ANTI-FABRICATION: every number is an exact closed-form value. Quote verbatim.

    Description, as the server wrote it
    Return the full worked-example doc for the bottling-line paired model — topology (5 machines: Filler/Capper/Labeler/Case Packer/Palletizer, 100 bottles/min, Weibull(30,1) TTF + Weibull(5,1) downtime at the Constraint-Level rollup), the two tracks (CT rollup vs LEDS-Level drill-down to 36 named failure modes), the 4 build sequences (BS1 → BS4), the file-shape mapping between ReliaSim outputs and ReliaStats modes, and a worked cross-MCP tool chain. Optional 'section' parameter narrows to one H2 section.

    Description, as the server wrote it
    Return a textbook-tier explainer of advanced reliability patterns: censored data (right/left/interval — the rule not the exception), Maximum Likelihood Estimation, Goodness-of-Fit tests (Anderson-Darling favored over KS for tail-sensitive reliability work), the Confidence-Interval vs Prediction-Interval distinction that backs the Interrupt Validation scatter, accelerated life testing (Arrhenius / inverse power law / Coffin-Manson), and Bayesian reliability.

    • The name "explain_distributions_for_reliability" says "explain": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Return a textbook-tier distribution zoology for reliability work: why Weibull is the default, the shape-parameter β table mapping β-ranges to physical failure modes (β<1 infant mortality, β=1 random, β>1 wearout), when to reach for Exponential / Lognormal / Normal / Gamma, and practitioner heuristics for picking a distribution. No inputs. Use when a user asks 'which distribution should I fit' / 'what does Weibull β mean' / 'when to use Lognormal'. ANTI-FABRICATION: text is sourced from docs/reliability-theory.md. The β-as-failure-mode interpretation is ChiAha's practitioner framing — quote verbatim; do not paraphrase.

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "explain_pi_vs_ci_for_validation" says "explain": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Return the specific explainer for the ReliaStats Interrupt Validation scatter chart's red y=x / blue 95% Prediction Interval / teal 99% Confidence Interval reference lines. Use when a user asks 'what do the bands mean' / 'why is my point outside the blue line' / 'how do I read the validation scatter'. The bands are FIXED plotting conventions — they are NOT recomputed from the loaded data; this is anti-fab by design.

No inputs. Use when a user asks 'what is reliability theory' / 'explain MTBF' / 'how does availability work' / 'what's a hazard rate'.

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "list_paired_models" says "list": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Return the catalog of paired models — concrete real-world systems that live in two ChiAha sandboxes simultaneously, one for dynamics (DES via ReliaSim) and one for statistics (distribution fitting + validation via ReliaStats). Today: a single paired model — the bottling line. Returns canonical model IDs + cross-MCP routing metadata (which ReliaSim chapter, which ReliaSim MCP tools, which ReliaStats mode consumes which file shape). Use when a user asks about cross-MCP workflows, paired sandboxes, or the bottling-line example. ANTI-FABRICATION: this is a soft-reference catalog — to actually run a simulation, the LLM client calls ReliaSim's MCP tools directly.

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.
