The eight tools

The full reference for the eight MCP tools a connected AI can call - what each does, whether it reads or writes, and the OAuth scope it requires.

A connected AI sees exactly eight tools. Seven are reads; the single write tool only files a pending suggestion for you to review.

Tool Title What it does Access Scope
profile Your profile Reads your compiled profile: a curated summary built only from facts you accepted. Read profile:read
list_files List your files Lists your uploaded files (names and metadata only). Read files:read
search_files Search your files Finds your documents by filename or metadata. Read files:read
get_file Open a file Returns a file’s full extracted text, size-guarded. Read files:read
ask_docs Ask your documents Answers from your documents with cited passages. Read docs:read
query_table Query a table exactly Runs exact, deterministic counts, sums, filters, and grouped totals over one tabular file. Read docs:read
suggest_update Suggest a profile update Files a pending suggestion for you to review in the app. Pending only: it never edits your profile or files directly. Write updates:write
shared_context Read shared context Reads context others deliberately shared with you: a share, a public or network @handle, or a teammate on an active team plan. Read shared:read

Every tool call requires an OAuth token carrying the matching scope, so a connection can be narrowed to exactly what a client needs. The scopes and the rest of the access model are covered in Security.
