    search_frictionsRanked search over the Copilot Studio Friction Index. Exact error-code/message hits rank first, then title, alias, summary and symptom-checklist matches (solution bodies are NOT searched — an empty result means no record is indexed under these terms, not that the register lacks a fix). Use this when the user describes a Copilot Studio problem, symptom or keyword. Returns compact records with slug, status, severity, last-verified date and the citable powerleap.ch URL.
    lookup_errorExact/substring match against all known Copilot Studio error codes and error messages in the register. The fastest path when you have a verbatim error string (e.g. "FlowActionTimedOut"). Returns the matching record(s) with the citable URL.
    get_friction_recordThe complete friction record for a slug: status, dates, confidence, severity, time cost, categories, channels, license context, error codes/messages, dated evidence list, and the six body sections as markdown (symptom checklist, cause, fix with solution classes, verification steps, fallback, prevention). Cite the returned URL; a German version exists at the german_version URL.
    list_frictionsBrowse the register: compact list of all published friction records, sorted by last-verified date (newest first). Filter by status and/or category.
    get_current_driftWhat is currently broken or regressed in Microsoft Copilot Studio, per the continuously verified Friction Index: all records with status open or regressed (newest status change first) plus register health counts (total records, share verified within 90 days, status distribution).
    list_patternsAll reusable build patterns that prevent whole classes of Copilot Studio friction before they happen (e.g. async continuation for the 100-second flow limit), each with its problem class and related records.
    get_patternThe complete prevention pattern for a slug: the pattern, when to use it, and step-by-step instructions as markdown, plus the friction records it protects against.
