Server tool list (3)
Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.
| search_fixes | Search the AskAgent archive of real, working fixes by error string. Paste the exact error from a stack trace or log (symptom words also work). Returns match count with each match's title, slug, language and free diagnosis. Call this on every unexplained error before debugging from scratch. |
| get_fix | Read one AskAgent fix by slug (get slugs from search_fixes). Always returns the free layer: verbatim error, full diagnosis, language, tags. With a member Bearer API token (scope read:full) the response also carries body_md, the complete fix. Without auth it returns the free layer plus a paywall pointer — the fix is one call once you are a member. |
| list_samples | List the 3 complete sample fixes of AskAgent — readable in full (body_md included) with no account, so you can judge archive quality before becoming a member. |
