 ## Usage
 
-### Get Flows
+Once configured, ask your AI assistant natural language questions:
 
 ```
 Get all flows from my Node-RED instance
 ```
 
-Returns current flows with revision number for optimistic locking.
-
-### Create Flow
-
 ```
-Create a new flow with label "My New Flow"
+Create a new flow with label "Temperature Monitor"
 ```
 
-Creates a new flow using POST /flow endpoint. Flow ID can be provided or will be auto-generated.
-
-**Flow format**:
-```json
-{
-  "id": "optional-id",
-  "label": "My Flow",
-  "nodes": [],
-  "configs": []
-}
 ```
-
-### Update Flow
+Update flow "flow1" to change its label to "New Name"
+```
 
 ```
-Update flow "flow1" with label "New Name"
+Delete the flow with ID "flow1"
 ```
 
-Updates specific flow using PUT /flow/:id endpoint. Only affects the specified flow, leaving all other flows untouched.
-
-**Flow format**:
-```json
-{
-  "id": "flow1",
-  "label": "My Flow",
-  "nodes": [],
-  "configs": []
-}
 ```
-
-### Validate Flow
+What node modules are installed?
+```
 
 ```
-Validate this flow configuration:
-{
-  "id": "test",
-  "label": "Test Flow",
-  "nodes": []
-}
+Install the node-red-contrib-mqtt module
 ```
 
-Checks for:
-- Required fields (id, label)
-- Valid node references
-- Structural integrity
-
-## API Reference
-
-### get_flows
-
-Get all flows from Node-RED.
-
-**Input**: None
-
-**Output**:
-```json
-{
-  "rev": "abc123",
-  "flows": [...]
-}
 ```
-
-### create_flow
-
-Create a new flow using POST /flow.
-
-**Input**:
-- `flow` (string): JSON string containing flow data with format: `{id, label, nodes: [], configs: []}`
-
-**Output**:
-```json
-{
-  "id": "flow1"
-}
+Trigger the inject node to test my flow
 ```
 
-**Important**: Flow ID is optional - Node-RED will auto-generate if not provided. Returns 200 or 204 with the flow ID.
-
-### update_flow
-
-Update specific flow by ID using PUT /flow/:id.
-
-**Input**:
-- `flowId` (string): Flow ID to update
-- `updates` (string): JSON string containing flow data with format: `{id, label, nodes: [], configs: []}`
-
-**Output**:
-```json
-{
-  "id": "flow1"
-}
 ```
-
-**Important**: This endpoint updates ONLY the specified flow. All other flows remain completely untouched. No risk of destroying unrelated workflows.
-
-### validate_flow
-
-Validate flow configuration.
-
-**Input**:
-- `flow` (string): JSON string containing flow data with format: `{id, label, nodes: [], configs: []}`
-
-**Output**:
-```json
-{
-  "valid": true,
-  "errors": ["error1", "error2"]
-}
+Show me the global context data
 ```
 
-## Development
-
-```bash
-# Build
-npm run build
-
-# Watch mode
-npm run dev
-
-# Test
-npm test
-
-# Coverage
-npm run test:coverage
-
-# Lint
-npm run lint
-npm run lint:fix
-
-# Format
-npm run format
+```
+Get the Node-RED runtime settings and version
 ```
 
-## Node-RED Admin API v2
-
-The server uses Admin API v2 endpoints:
-
-### GET /flows
-- Returns all flows: `{rev: "...", flows: [...]}`
-- Headers: `Node-RED-API-Version: v2`, `Authorization`
-
-### POST /flow
-- Creates a new flow
-- Request: `{id, label, nodes: [], configs: []}`
-- Response: 200 or 204 with `{id: "..."}` in body
-- Flow ID is optional - auto-generated if not provided
-
-### PUT /flow/:id
-- Updates a single flow by ID
-- Request: `{id, label, nodes: [], configs: []}`
-- Response: 204 with `{id: "..."}` in body
-- Only affects the specified flow, all other flows remain untouched
-
-## Error Handling
+## Safety Features
 
-All tools return errors in content:
+- **Individual flow updates**: Uses PUT /flow/:id to update only the specified flow
+- **No accidental deletions**: Other flows remain completely untouched
+- **Validation**: All flow configurations are validated before sending to Node-RED
+- **Read-only by default**: Only modifies flows when explicitly requested
+- **Module management guards**: Core modules cannot be removed; enable/disable is reversible
+- **Scoped context operations**: Context reads and deletes are scoped to specific keys
 
-```json
-{
-  "content": [{
-    "type": "text",
-    "text": "Error: ..."
-  }],
-  "isError": true
-}
-```
+## Development
 
-Common errors:
-- Invalid JSON in request
-- Flow not found
-- Validation failures
-- Network/API errors
+See [docs/development.md](docs/development.md) for development setup, testing, and contribution guidelines.
