### `search`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text

    Search for SecDim Play secure coding labs (hands-on, scored challenges).

    This tool searches across SecDim Play's hands-on secure coding labs based on the

               Examples:
               - "XSS lang:javascript" - searches for XSS labs in JavaScript
               - "SQL injection lang:Python" - searches for SQL injection labs in Python
               - "79" - searches for labs related to CWE-79

    Returns:
        Dictionary with search results containing:
        - results: List of matching SecDim Play labs with id, title, snippet, and metadata
    
```

### `search_learn_courses`

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

- The name "search_play_challenges" says "search": a word for reading.
- Findings: info long-description

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text

    Return a list of hands-on SecDim Play secure coding challenges (labs) related to a detected or suspected vulnerability.

    SecDim Play challenges are scored, hands-on labs: find and fix a real vulnerability
    in running code to earn points and badges.

    Use this tool to:
    - Find hands-on SecDim Play labs for specific vulnerabilities like XSS, SQL Injection, etc.
    - Explore OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities and related labs
    - Provide additional resources and guides to help developers improve their secure coding skills

    For structured tutorial content (text, video, and lab-based courses) on the same
    vulnerability, use search_learn_courses (SecDim Learn) instead or in addition.

    Args:
        search: Search term for the vulnerability (e.g., 'xss', 'sql-injection', 'injection')
        cwe: Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) ID to filter by
        owasp: OWASP category to filter by (e.g., 'a03:2021')
        technology: Technology or framework to filter by (e.g., 'react', 'django')
        language: Programming language to filter by (e.g., 'javascript', 'python')
        difficulty: Difficulty level to filter by (e.g., 'trivial', 'easy', 'medium', 'hard')
        type: Challenge format to filter by (e.g., 'battle', 'exploitation', 'incident-response')
        mitre: MITRE ATT&CK ID to filter by (e.g., 'T1102.003')

    SecDim Play challenges (labs) each simulate a real vulnerability. They are scored according to
    the following difficulty levels:
        - Trivial: Easy to find and path vulnerabilities. It can be completed in 5-10 minutes. 1-15 points.
        - Easy: Known vulnerabilities. It can be completed in 10-30 minutes. 16-35 points.
        - Medium: Known vulnerabilities but require defence-in-depth patch. It can be completed in 20-30 minutes. 36-70 points.
        - Hard: Hard to find or patch vulnerabilities. It can be completed in 30-60 minutes. 71-100 points.
        - Battle: SecDim Flagship attack and defence challenge that require both vulnerability exploitation and mitigation skills. Points are accumulated.

    Returns:
        Dictionary containing SecDim Play labs results or error
        If there are no results, user can perform a manual search on the SecDim Play frontend (SECDIM_PLAY_FRONTEND_BASE_URL)
    
```
