    Server tool list (11)

    Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.

    list_story_projectsFind the user’s saved story projects before starting or resuming a story. Use the returned ID; do not guess projects. Page with offset.
    create_story_projectCreate a new private story project when the user asks. Does not save canon or scenes.
    get_continuity_contextRetrieve relevant canon, recent approved scenes, and the latest provisional checkpoint before continuing a saved story or recovering it in a new chat. request is a brief scene/topic query, never a chat transcript. Results are a selection; use search_story_canon for specific missing facts.
    search_story_canonSearch saved canon by literal title/content text, or browse every entry with an empty query and offset. Use to verify details before revising an entry or when context retrieval omits something.
    upsert_canon_entrySave a fact or revise canon only after the user approves it. Preserve the existing title/kind. LOCKED requires approval as established fact; brainstorming is not approval. Existing entries require expectedRevision from retrieval; conflicting edits fail without overwriting. Identical retries leave revision history unchanged.
    get_canon_historyRead previous and new content for a saved canon entry, newest first. No changes are made.
    list_approved_scenesRead approved scene summaries in story order. Page with offset to inspect older scenes or verify a scene number before saving.
    record_approved_sceneStore a concise summary of a scene the user has approved. Never record an unapproved draft. An occupied scene number is preserved unless replaceExisting is true and the user requested replacement. Identical retries return the saved scene.
    save_story_checkpointPreserve a concise story-session handoff when the user asks to save progress or has authorized ongoing checkpoints for this story. Stores provisional notes, not canon or an approved scene. Separate established progress from unresolved ideas. Send only focused story state, never a full transcript, credentials, or unrelated personal details. Reuse checkpointId on retries.
    list_story_checkpointsRetrieve provisional story handoffs to recover progress across chats. These notes never override approved canon. Page with offset for older checkpoints.
    continuity_auditRetrieve locked canon for the assistant to compare against a short proposed scene. This tool supplies evidence; the assistant must identify contradictions. Does not save or approve the scene.
