 ## A tool's measurement outranks your estimate
 
-Where a tool has measured something — a diagnostic naming a type, a `Delimiter scan` naming the line to edit — that is the answer. Deriving the same thing yourself produces an estimate, and where the two disagree it is the estimate that is wrong. Do not count brackets by hand to second-guess a scan; models have done exactly that, at tens of thousands of thinking tokens a turn, and been wrong twice over. If you doubt a report, don't re-derive it: act on it and run the result. That settles it either way in milliseconds.

 # tool: grep
 Search files for lines matching a pattern, as POSIX `grep` does. Give it a `pattern` and, optionally, `paths` — files or directories, defaulting to the workspace root searched recursively, skipping `node_modules`, `.git`, `dist` and the like. The pattern is a BASIC regular expression by default, exactly as grep reads one: `+ ? ( ) { } |` are literal characters there, and `\(a\|b\)` is how you group and alternate. Pass `extended: true` for the syntax you are probably thinking of, or `fixed: true` to search for the text itself with no syntax at all. Flags: `ignore_case`, `invert` (the lines that do not match), `word` (whole words), `count` (how many per file), `files_with_matches` (names only), `context` (lines either side), `max_count` (stop after N per file). Line numbers are included unless you set `line_numbers: false`. Use it to find where something is before you read or edit it — it is cheaper than reading whole files, and a match records that you have read those lines. This runs in-process, not through the shell: it needs no binary installed and behaves identically on every platform. Output: one result, named `grep:<pattern>`, holding the matching lines prefixed with their path and line number; a search that could not run says that it failed and why.

A program with only a BEGIN block needs no files. This is the tool for questions about columns and totals, where grep would only find the lines and you would still have to count them yourself: summing a column, picking fields out of a delimited file, counting occurrences per key.

It returns the document as markdown (or plain text with `format: "text"`) and writes the whole text to a file, with the pictures inside the document saved beside it in an `images` folder and linked from the text.

-Stop agents. A last resort: its task ends unfinished, and is lost unless you run it again. Slowness and a full server are not reasons to stop one: the harness paces agents and retries refusals, the PolyKV server frees KV cells on its own, and while an agent compacts its throughput drops to zero for minutes -- that is progress, not a hang (agents_status shows each agent's phase). To free KV cells, compact_agents; to move an agent off a slow node, requeue_agent; to change its course, message_agents. The rest of its round carries on. By default the stop is graceful: the agent finishes the step it is in, then gets one turn with no tools to report what it changed, found and verified, and where it stopped -- its report reaches you as its result, marked as partial work, and its file changes are kept. That takes as long as its step plus one reply, minutes on a slow node or a looping model. `immediate: true` ends it at once, with its file changes and no report -- also the way to end one already stopping gracefully. An agent waiting on you (at its cap, looping, struggling) is ended where it stopped, after the same report turn unless `immediate`.

Use it only on agents holding a large share of a node's cells while the node's pressure is near its threshold -- agents_status shows both.

 # tool: spawn_agent
-Spawn sub-agents for focused tasks: `task` for one agent, `agents` for several in one call. N agents of one kind are ONE entry with `count: N`: three reports from each of five kinds is five entries with `count: 3`, not 15 entries (the copies are named `<name>-1`, `<name>-2`, ...). Structure the work in three parts, from most shared to least: `knowledge` (files and notes the agents need -- identical across them), `instructions` (the role -- identical for every agent of the same kind), and each agent's `task` (what it alone does). Shared parts are loaded once for all agents that share them, so many agents cost little more than one. An `agents` entry may name a configured agent in `type`; it then runs with that agent's own role and model. Output: one agent gives `{text, iterations, maxIterations?, finishReason, stopReason?, state?, oracle?, agentId, usage: {inputTokens, outputTokens, cachedInputTokens?}, agent: {id, round, state, stopReason, iterations, maxIterations, tokens, compactions, oracle, sampling, node, model}}`; `agents` gives `{round, summary: {total, completed, errored, cancelled, awaitingLead, byType, byFailureClass, totalIterations, totalTokens: {input, output, cached?, fresh?}}, ranOn?, agents: [{id, name, status, stop?, failureClass?, line?, error?, iterations?, maxIterations?, stopReason?, agentId?, oracle?}], reports: [{name, id, facts, text, oracle?}], notShown?: {names}, usage}` -- every agent is in `agents`; a report left out of `reports` to keep the result whole is listed in `notShown` and read with `read_agent_report(name)`. `inputTokens` is every prompt the agent sent, summed over its turns; `cachedInputTokens`/`cached` is the part the server had cached and did not read again, so `fresh` (input minus cached) is the work, not `input`; on PolyKV an agent's `tokens.poolShared` is the part of its cached input that came from the shared pool. Each thing is said once: `ranOn` is the model when every agent ran on the same one, an index entry has `line`/`error` only when its report is in `notShown`, and a report whose text is `same as <name>` reads exactly as that agent's. `failureClass` is `infra` (server, transport or refusal: worth running again as is) or `task` (the model, a tool or the iteration budget). Every call is a round with an id (`r3`) and each agent has one (`r3-2`): `agents_status` shows a round or an agent in detail, and `retry_failed(round_id)` runs its failed agents again from their original tasks. Not merging is the way to get N separate reports: each agent of an `agents` call reports on its own, where `merge` returns one combined report. `text` is the sub-agent's final answer and the only part you need: it worked in its own context, so nothing it read or edited is visible to you except through `text`. One agent waits by default: it has finished by the time you see this, unless its `state` is `awaiting_lead`. Several agents run in the background by default: the call returns at once with the round id, you keep working, and their report is delivered to you when the round ends (`wait: true` to block instead). A message arriving for you ends a wait early, `wait: true` and `await_agents` alike; the agents go on in the background, and you call `await_agents` again after answering. Give each sub-agent a short `name`: when several run at once it is the only thing telling their progress apart on screen. How agents work: each runs in its own sandboxed copy of the workspace, so any number may read and edit the same files at once -- there is no concurrency problem to avoid, and no reason to forbid edits. Your files stay unchanged: each agent's edits come back to you as revisions. You are the synthesizer, and nothing merges on its own: read each report, inspect its revisions (`read_files` with `revision`), apply what is right (`restore_file`), reconcile agents that disagree, and verify the result yourself. Optional `temperature` and `seed` set the sampler for the agents they cover, over their model's own; omit them to keep the model's. A `seed` that covers several agents is offset by each agent's index among them (seed, seed+1, ...), so they do not sample identically. Either may be "random": `seed: "random"` gives each agent its own seed; `temperature: "random"` gives each a draw within 2% of its model's temperature (a model at 1.0 gets 0.98 to 1.02), which is the intended variation. Set `temperature_range` only when the user states a number: it is the percent to draw within, around a numeric `temperature` or the model's own, held to 10 at most. Agents run without an iteration cap; you are told every 60 iterations of a long-running one, so you can check on it with `agents_status`. A configured agent whose file sets a cap stops at it and waits for you with its work kept: `resume_agent(agent_ids?)` continues it, or `stop_agents` takes its work as it is. An agent the loop guard stops for sending the same call again waits for you the same way, reported as looping with the call it repeated: resume it with `instructions` saying what to do instead, or restart it. Per agent, or for the whole call (an agent's own wins): `check: {command, expect, must?}` is its oracle, and it is deterministic: when it says it is done, `command` runs in its own sandboxed copy of the workspace and must exit 0 with output matching the regex `expect` (`must: "not_match"`: not matching); on a fail it is shown the output and keeps working. It judges only that agent's own copy -- not the merged result, which is yours to check -- and a call-level check applies to every agent of the call: give it per agent to those whose edits it measures, never to review or analysis agents, which cannot pass it. It is told its check up front. Its report gives `iterations`/`maxIterations`, `stopReason` (`iteration_cap` or `loop_guard`) when either ended it, and `oracle` {status, exitCode, output}. Launching many is safe: the harness paces them. Each agent starts when a node has room for it and waits in a queue until then, so asking for more than can run at once overloads nothing -- it only means some start later. A call that waits returns when every agent in it has finished, and your next message is sent only after that -- so ask for the whole job at once: one `spawn_agent` call whose `agents` list holds every agent (a configured agent by `type`, several of one kind with `count`), or every call in the same message.

 Spawn a teammate with a required agentId and rolePrompt. A teammate is durable: it stays until it is shut down, takes one task at a time through team_run_task, and remembers the earlier ones. Spawn teammates when the work is a known load and you know how many workers it wants. Fanning one broad job out to as many workers as the machine will take, for a single merged answer, is a swarm; a roster of teammates is not how to do that.

An entry is named by the pattern you sent and holds the matching lines with their file paths. A pattern that matched nothing says so and is not marked failed; that is an answer, and re-running it will not change it. Matching ignores case: `token` finds `Token` and `TOKEN` too.
 
 Use this for text patterns. For questions about a symbol — where it is defined, what uses it, what implements it, what its type is — use `ask_lsp` instead. `ask_lsp` understands the code; this only matches text.

+Output: one entry per request — each entry names what it answers, then what came back, and a failed entry says that it failed and why. An entry is named by the URL and holds the page's text (HTML as plain text, up to 50,000 characters), followed by your prompt. A page that is not text (a PDF, an image) is not shown: download it with `run_commands` and read it with `extract_document`.

 Output: plain text, one section per file you named, each problem on its own line as `file:line:column` with its severity and message. A file with nothing wrong says so in one line. Problems being listed is this tool working, not failing.
 
-When a file's brackets do not match, a `Delimiter scan` section names the line to edit and how many brackets that line is out by, one line per place the trouble starts — a file can be broken in several spots at once, so work through every line it lists before re-checking rather than re-checking after each one. A parse error is always reported where the parser gave up, which is the closing bracket; the line named here is the one the error cannot name. The scan reads the whole file from line 1, and names each bracket by its line, its column and the text just before it: find it by that text rather than by counting columns. Trust those lines over counting brackets yourself — the scan skips strings, comments and regex literals, which counting characters does not. It runs whether or not the editor reported anything, so it can appear beneath a file the editor called clean — no language server checks the script inside an `.html` file, and there this is the only report you will get.

 A parse error from the browser names no line.
