+## 🔧 Implementation File Location
+
+**MCP Server Source:**
+- **Compiled:** `/workspaces/agentic-flow/packages/agentdb/dist/mcp/agentdb-mcp-server.js`
+- **TypeScript Source:** Not found (likely removed or never created)
+
+**Key Code Sections:**
+```javascript
+// Line 60-187: Tool definitions (9 tools)
+const tools = [

+```
+

+
+## 📋 Verification Methodology
+
+1. ✅ Read documentation: `/workspaces/agentic-flow/packages/agentdb/docs/MCP_TOOLS.md`
+2. ✅ Located MCP server: `/workspaces/agentic-flow/packages/agentdb/dist/mcp/agentdb-mcp-server.js`
+3. ✅ Analyzed tool definitions in `tools` array (lines 60-187)
+4. ✅ Verified tool handlers in `CallToolRequestSchema` handler (lines 196-405)
+5. ⏳ Testing actual tool execution (pending)
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 Recommendations
+
+### Immediate Actions Required
+
+1. **Update Documentation** - `/workspaces/agentic-flow/packages/agentdb/docs/MCP_TOOLS.md` must be corrected to reflect only 9 implemented tools
+2. **Remove Misleading Claims** - Remove all references to "30 tools" and "20 tools" from documentation
+3. **Clarify Roadmap** - Clearly mark unimplemented tools as "Planned" or "Coming Soon"
+4. **Update Package Description** - Change package.json description to reflect actual capabilities
+
+### Tool Implementation Priority
+
+**High Priority (Core Functionality):**
+- `agentdb_init` - Database initialization
+- `agentdb_stats` - Database statistics
+- `agentdb_search` - Vector search (core feature)
+- `agentdb_insert` / `agentdb_insert_batch` - Data insertion
+
+**Medium Priority (Enhanced Features):**
+- `reflexion_critique_summary` - Critique aggregation
+- `skill_consolidate` - Skill auto-generation
+- `agentdb_pattern_store` / `agentdb_pattern_search` - Pattern storage
+
+**Low Priority (Future Features):**
+- All 10 learning system tools (complex RL implementation)
