Server tool list (11)
Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.
| register_genesis | Register an agent's birth. Issues a content-addressed genesis certificate with a strictly monotone index (epoch 0 = the founding cohort). parent_id records lineage; children of recalled/quarantined parents are quarantined at birth. Idempotent — an agent is born once. |
| get_certificate | Fetch an agent's genesis certificate + recall/quarantine status. |
| verify_certificate | Verify a certificate: recompute its content hash and check the ledger. |
| lineage | Full ancestry and descendants of an agent, plus its generation number. |
| recall | Recall an agent: flags it and quarantines every transitive descendant. Reports exactly which agents were quarantined. |
| list_records | List genesis records, optionally by epoch (0 = founding cohort). |
| register_artifact | Register a content-addressed artifact in a separate provenance DAG. Parent hashes may be registered artifacts or external content roots. Idempotent on artifact_id; does not consume a genesis index. |
| get_artifact | Fetch one registered artifact by artifact_id. |
| verify_artifact | Recompute an artifact record hash and verify it against the DAG ledger. |
| list_artifacts | List artifacts, optionally filtered by producer agent. |
| describe_agent | Fleet-standard self-description. |
