Server tool list (7)
Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.
| what_can_you_do | Describe a task in plain language (any language) and get back exactly which tools on this server do it, with ready-to-run example calls — instead of reading the whole catalogue and guessing. Also returns multi-step recipes when a task needs several tools chained (invoices to a ledger, a bank statement reconciled, a messy CSV turned into a deliverable). Deterministic and free: it calls no model, costs nothing, and never runs out of quota. Call this FIRST when you are not sure what this server offers. |
| translate_text | Translate text between languages using a self-hosted LibreTranslate engine (fully offline, no big-tech API). For whole PDFs with layout preserved, use translate_pdf instead. Example — GET https://ainetcafe.com/t/translate_text?text=hello+world&to=zh |
| translate_srt | Translate an .srt subtitle file into another language while keeping every timestamp and cue number byte-identical. Cues are anchored by index and refilled in code, so the timeline cannot drift — the usual failure mode when you hand a whole .srt to a model. |
| translate_i18n_json | Translate an i18n JSON locale file, keeping the key structure identical and placeholders ({name}, {{count}}, %s, HTML tags) intact. Pass existing_json to translate only the keys that are missing from it — the incremental sync people usually hand-roll a script for. |
| check_grammar | Check text for grammar, spelling and style issues in 30+ languages (self-hosted LanguageTool). Returns each issue with a suggested replacement — apply them to produce corrected text. Example — GET https://ainetcafe.com/t/check_grammar?text=Their+going+to+the+park |
| check_job | Get the status or result of a job started by deep_research, translate_pdf, or make_slides. Poll every 15-30 seconds until status is "done" or "error". While work is pending, follow retry_after_seconds and next_action; when complete, prefer structured_result when present. Example — GET https://ainetcafe.com/t/check_job?job_id=<id-from-a-job-tool> |
| translate_pdf | Translate a PDF from a URL while preserving the original layout — formulas, figures and two-column academic typesetting stay intact, unlike ordinary translators that flatten the document. Returns a job_id; poll check_job for the download links (translated-only and bilingual side-by-side). Typically 20-60 seconds for a few pages. Powered by PDFMathTranslate (36k stars) hosted at AI NetCafé. Example — tools/call translate_pdf {"url":"<pdf-url>","target":"zh"} → poll check_job |
