Tools & capabilities
Agentcast tools 3
extract_jsonPull a JSON value out of messy LLM output. Tries the whole text, then a fenced ```json``` block, then the largest balanced {...}/[...] substring. Returns the parsed value plus which strategy succeeded.validate_responseValidate a parsed JSON value against an agentcast shape spec. Spec maps field name to type: 'string', 'number', 'boolean', 'array', 'object'. Suffix with '?' for optional. Returns valid=true on success, or valid=false with a human-readable error string suitable for retry feedback.build_retry_promptGiven an attempt history, produce the retry feedback message agentcast would append to the conversation when the model returned the wrong shape. Codifies the "validation error as feedback" pattern for non-Node MCP clients.
Promptlint MCP tools 2
lint_promptTwo `text` content items: `[0]` human one-line summary (`"score: X/100 · issues: N · tokens: A → B …"`), `[1]` full JSON of the `lint()` result (parse with `JSON.parse(result.content[1].text)`).trim_promptTwo `text` content items: `[0]` the trimmed prompt, `[1]` a savings footer (`"Saved N tokens (P%). Original: A, trimmed: B."`). Does NOT resolve contradictions, redundancy, or ambiguity — run `lint_prompt` for those.
