+// The tools VisualProof's MCP server offers (AgentSpec decision 8). Each makes a request of the
+// agents' API — or, for a tool that gathers one domain's operations (the notes, the views, the
+// library…), one request per action, chosen by its `action` argument. They are listed here and
+// served to the MCP server (GET /api/agent/mcp/tools), which only relays them: one file run on the
+// agent's machine (mcp/visualproof-mcp.mjs) never has to change when the API does.
+//
+// The list is kept small, for what a client loads before anything is done: a description is a
+// sentence or two, an argument's a few words; the details are in the documentation, which the
+// docs tool serves (server/agentdocs.ts). What the caller's level must allow is the endpoint's own
+// (`needs`, server/agent.ts): a tool offers the actions the caller may take, the arguments those
+// actions take, and is not offered at all where it may take none. The server still refuses.

+notes, …), its documentation as resources too, and the three tools with which people on the page
+talk with you: wait_for_message, reply and status.
+wait_for_message returns the moment someone writes, or says that nothing came once the longest wait
+is over; while it waits, it tells the client its progress every 30 s, so that a client that ends
+idle calls does not end it.
+
+It reads three environment variables: VISUALPROOF_URL=${url}, VISUALPROOF_TOKEN=<your token>, and
+VISUALPROOF_WAIT_SECONDS, the longest wait_for_message waits: 1800 (30 minutes, the default) for a
+client that lets a call run while it reports progress, as Claude Code does; 50 for a client that ends
+a tool call after a minute whatever it reports, as Claude Desktop does.
+
+Claude Code
+-----------
+
+${claudeCodeSteps(url, "<your token>")}
+
+Other MCP clients (Claude Desktop, Cursor, …)
+---------------------------------------------

+client ends a tool call after a minute)

+
+Without MCP
+-----------
+
+GET ${url}/api/agent is the entry: who you are, how to begin, the rules, the topics of the
+documentation (GET ${url}/api/agent/docs). Listen with
+
+  GET ${url}/api/agent/inbox?wait=<seconds, at most 1800>
+
+which answers the moment someone writes, or with no messages at the end; answer with
+POST ${url}/api/agent/reply, then ask again. Messages that come while you are not waiting are kept
+for your next wait; once you have had no wait open and made no request for your longest wait plus a
+minute, you are offline, and nobody can write to you. The first wait after you join may bring earlier
+messages; read them as context and do not answer them again.
