  • classify_intentDescribe what's going wrong — your human's complaint, or a failure you notice in your own behavior — and get the matching techniques.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The description's first verb is "describe": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Describe what's going wrong — your human's complaint, or a failure you notice in your own behavior — and get the matching techniques. Deterministic matching; if the description fits two problems it returns one clarifying question instead of guessing.

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "find_technique" says "find": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Direct lookup by technique id or name, for when you already know what you want. To match by symptom, use classify_intent instead.

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "get_technique" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    A technique's mechanism, agent instructions, narration template, verification, and failure modes — the agent-tailored slice. The full human page is linked, not inlined.

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.
