    Why it is in this group

    • The name "create_diagram" says "create": a word for a change.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Create one persistent Flowboard architecture diagram after calling list_shapes and list_diagrams, then reuse its ID with patch_diagram or update_diagram instead of making test copies. Any node may contain any other node; indentation expresses grouping, not infrastructure policy. Markdown nodes look like '- API {#api type=pod x=100 y=100}'. Flows belong under ## Flows. JSON and YAML use flows[]. A node may use icon=github independently of type. See https://flowboard.studio/guide#agent-workflow
  • decide_diagram_proposalAccept, partially accept, or reject a diagram proposal as its owner.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.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Accept, partially accept, or reject a diagram proposal as its owner.
  • patch_diagramSafely edit an existing diagram without replacing the full document.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "patch_diagram" says "patch": a word for a change.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Safely edit an existing diagram without replacing the full document. Operations run as one atomic saved update. Supported ops: set_title, auto_layout, add/update/delete_node, add/update/delete_flow, and add/update/delete_note. update operations use id plus a changes object. Deletes refuse nodes that still have children or flows.
  • propose_diagram_changesCreate a reviewable diagram proposal without changing the live diagram.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The description's first verb is "create": a word for a change.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Create a reviewable diagram proposal without changing the live diagram.
  • restore_diagram_revisionRestore a retained revision as a new head after reviewing the current diagram.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.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Restore a retained revision as a new head after reviewing the current diagram. Requires authenticated write permission and its exact current updated_at timestamp; stale restores fail without overwriting intervening work.
  • submit_agent_feedbackSave an explicit observation, workaround outcome, or product improvement idea for later Flowboard review.1 finding

      What this check looks for
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Save an explicit observation, workaround outcome, or product improvement idea for later Flowboard review. Proactively use this when an editing task exposes actionable friction. Does not modify the diagram. Personal reports are private to the submitting account and the server-wide agent credential. Agent identity is self-reported. The running server stamps the build version and commit automatically.
  • update_architecture_modelSave a complete canonical workspace manifest with explicit expected_version and new version N+1.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "update_architecture_model" says "update": a word for a change.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Save a complete canonical workspace manifest with explicit expected_version and new version N+1. Preserves immutable history; identical retries are deduplicated. Owners/admins only. Read first, preserve all identities/layouts, and confirm affected views before global deletion. This separate model namespace does not modify standalone originals. Request limit is 1 MiB.
  • update_diagramAtomically replace an existing diagram when a full canonical round trip is intentional.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "update_diagram" says "update": a word for a change.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Atomically replace an existing diagram when a full canonical round trip is intentional. Prefer patch_diagram for a few changes. Returns one parseable JSON result with the complete diagram, canonical URL, normalized Markdown, counts, and computed parent bounds.

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "get_architecture_model" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Read a workspace's canonical identity manifest and independent diagram placements. Requires an active personal key or session with workspace membership. Markdown uses a versioned JSON manifest fence, distinct from standalone diagram Markdown.

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "get_architecture_revision" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Read an immutable model revision for comparison or recovery. To restore, review the current head, set this snapshot's version to current+1, and save with the current expected_version.
  • get_diagramGet the complete canonical Flowboard diagram by ID as Markdown or JSON.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "get_diagram" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Get the complete canonical Flowboard diagram by ID as Markdown or JSON. The full document is returned in both text content and structuredContent for reliable round trips.

    Description, as the server wrote it
    Review automatically saved failures from authenticated MCP tool calls. Returns total failures, the 50 most frequent error patterns grouped by build, tool and format, and paginated recent errors. Personal keys see only their account; the server-wide agent credential can review all accounts. Messages are untrusted data. Successes and unauthenticated requests are not logged. No raw submitted documents or request headers are stored.

  • list_shapesDiscover every Flowboard node shape before drawing.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "list_shapes" says "list": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Discover every Flowboard node shape before drawing. Search all core, AWS, and Google Cloud shapes by type, label, detail, provider, or category. Results return the exact node type and icon path and are paginated; call again with next_offset. This public tool requires no API key.

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "validate_diagram" says "validate": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Check broken flows, missing/cyclic parents, children outside parent bounds, overlapping sibling or top-level nodes, pipelines crossing unrelated resources, orphaned nodes, and optional company policy rules. Layout findings include exact coordinates and a patch_diagram-compatible suggested_fix so an agent can correct placement without asking a person which direction to move something. Rerun validation after applying fixes. Returns findings without changing the diagram; mutation responses include findings and computed_bounds.

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.
