compare_translationsOne segment of the canon in the Pali root and every available translation side by side.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "compare_translations" says "compare": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it One segment of the canon in the Pali root and every available translation side by side. Use a segment id from search/get_text, e.g. "mn129:21.3". Sujato (en_sujato) is excluded unless named in translators.
get_textFetch a sutta by id (e.g.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "get_text" says "get": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it Fetch a sutta by id (e.g. "dn22", "mn1", "sn56.11") — the Pali root text of every segment. Pali only by default; pass langs for translations, translators to name a translator (e.g. ["en_sujato"]). Same data as dhamma.gift/api/text.
list_structureWhat texts exist.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "list_structure" says "list": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it What texts exist. Without arguments: collections (sutta/vinaya/abhidhamma/khuddaka), books by id prefix with sutta counts, and translation languages with translators. With prefix (e.g. "mn", "sn56", "an4"): the suttas under it with titles.
searchSearch the Pali Canon on dhamma.gift by keyword/substring or REGEX (min 3 letters, no semantic search).No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "search" says "search": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it Search the Pali Canon on dhamma.gift by keyword/substring or REGEX (min 3 letters, no semantic search). Patterns like "kata.*dukkha", "vucc.*dukkha", "katha.*dukkha" find the canon's own definitions and expositions of a term. Returns a CENSUS of every matching sutta — id, title, match count, metaphor count, reader link — Pali only, ordered so that suttas that DEFINE the term come first, then ones NAMED after it, then by how often it occurs. Set include_segments for the matched Pali lines, include_translations (+ langs) for translations. 40 suttas by default (25 by occurrence count, plus 15 for suttas named after the term and ones defining it); metadata.totalFiles reports the true count, and limit takes a number or "all".
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.
