MCP Tool Reference

The MCP server provides 106 tools organized by category.

Common Write-Side Parameters

Most write-side tools (evidence, narratives, notes, control status, monitoring events) accept two shared audit-trail flags. Both default to false and should only be set when the calling agent has a deliberate reason to bypass the corresponding guardrail:

• allow_scope_override — Permit a write outside the active system/framework context.
• allow_unverified_sources — Permit a write when source attestation shows a mismatch.

Where listed below as “(audit-trail flags)”, a tool accepts both fields. Evidence-creation tools also accept an optional recipe_context_id returned by pretorin_start_recipe; when supplied the resulting record is stamped with producer_kind='recipe' and the recipe id/version, otherwise it’s stamped producer_kind='agent'.

Task Routing

pretorin_start_task

Route a user prompt to the right workflow. Call this FIRST whenever the user references compliance work (a control, system, framework, questionnaire, or campaign). The calling agent extracts entities from the user prompt and supplies them as structured args; pretorin applies deterministic rules to pick a workflow and bundles the platform read-state (workflow_state, compliance_status, pending items) into the response. The agent then reads the selected workflow’s body via pretorin_get_workflow and follows it.

The one exception is pure reference questions (“show me AC-2”, “list frameworks”) — those go directly to the read-side tools without start_task.

Parameters:

• entities (required) — Structured entities extracted from the user prompt. Required sub-fields: intent_verb (one of work_on, collect_evidence, draft_narrative, answer, campaign, inspect_status) and raw_prompt (original verbatim text). Optional: system_id, framework_id, control_ids, scope_question_ids, policy_question_ids.
• active_system_id (optional) — The user’s active CLI context system_id, if any. Used to detect cross-system writes.
• skip_inspect (optional) — Skip the server-side platform reads when the calling agent already has fresh state. Default: false

Returns: Selected workflow id, resolved scope (system/framework/items), and a platform-state bundle for the agent to act on.

Returns: Submission confirmation with per-result status.

Recipes & Workflows

Recipes are markdown playbooks the calling agent reads and executes; workflows describe how to iterate items in a domain and which recipes to pick per item. See RFC 0001 for the contract spec and docs/src/recipes/ for authoring guides.

pretorin_list_recipes

List loaded recipes with their summary metadata (id, name, tier, description, use_when, produces). Use this to discover which recipes are available, then call pretorin_get_recipe(id) to read the full body.

Parameters:

• tier (optional) — Filter to one tier: official, partner, or community
• produces (optional) — Filter by what the recipe produces: evidence, narrative, both, or answers

Returns: Recipe summaries with manifest metadata.

pretorin_get_recipe

Return one recipe’s full manifest and body. The body is the markdown playbook the calling agent reads to understand the procedure.

Parameters:

• recipe_id (required) — Recipe id to fetch

Returns: Recipe manifest plus the markdown body.

pretorin_start_recipe

Open a recipe execution context. Returns a context_id the caller passes on subsequent platform-API write tool calls so audit metadata is stamped with producer_kind='recipe' automatically. One recipe per session at a time (nesting forbidden in v1). Contexts auto-expire after 1 hour of inactivity.

Parameters:

• recipe_id (required) — Recipe id (must be loadable from the registry)
• recipe_version (required) — Recipe version the caller intends to run. Cross-checked against the loaded recipe; mismatch is an error.
• params (optional) — Inputs the calling agent supplies, validated against the recipe’s params schema
• selection (optional) — Structured RecipeSelection record from the engagement layer, stored on the context for the eventual RecipeResult

Returns: Context id and the resolved recipe manifest snapshot.

pretorin_end_recipe

Close a recipe execution context and return the RecipeResult summary (status, evidence and narrative counts, errors, elapsed time). Must be called once the recipe’s work is complete; failure to call leaves the context in place until the 1-hour expiry sweep.

Parameters:

• context_id (required) — Context id returned by pretorin_start_recipe
• status (optional) — Caller-supplied disposition: pass, fail, or needs_input. Default: pass

Returns: RecipeResult summary.

pretorin_list_workflows

List loaded workflow playbooks (single-control, scope-question, policy-question, campaign). Each workflow describes how to iterate items in its domain and which recipes to pick per item. Use this before picking a recipe so the agent works at the right granularity.

Parameters:

• iterates_over (optional) — Filter to one item-iteration shape: single_control, scope_questions, policy_questions, or campaign_items

Returns: Workflow summaries with manifest metadata.

pretorin_get_workflow

Return one workflow’s full manifest and body. The body is the markdown playbook the calling agent reads to know how to iterate items and pick recipes per item in this workflow’s domain.

Parameters:

• workflow_id (required) — Workflow id to fetch

Returns: Workflow manifest plus the markdown body.
