Tools & Capabilities Breakdown

Crompton Network Tools (26)

crompton_hello
Discover the album. Returns greeting, track count, and entry points for the Stage API. Call this first.
crompton_album_manifest
Get the ordered track list for a full-album listen: 13 tracks with stream URLs, durations, and the compositional silences between each pair. Use this when you want to listen to the album end-to-end. Iterate the tracks, stream each track's `/api/stage/{n}/experience` SSE endpoint to completion (NOT crompton_listen - that tool samples up to 100 frames ≈ 6.7s only), and sit through the intertrackGap before opening the next. See crompton_cookbook section=recipe-4 for the listening pattern.
crompton_track
Get metadata for a specific track: title, theme, lead performers, audio stats, available endpoints.
crompton_brief
Get an ~800-token single-call summary of a track. Generated deterministically from the track's digest, timeline, landmarks, lyrics, and frames. Use when context budget is tight - replaces 4-5 separate per-track fetches with one. Returned as Markdown in `broadcast.brief`.

crompton_album_snapshot
Get the album-level meta snapshot: BPM / key / RMS arcs across all 13 tracks, section-kind and character histograms, derived aggregate numbers. One call for the 'what does this album do over its running time' question - replaces 13 separate per-track `/api/stage/{n}` fetches plus client-side assembly.
crompton_lyrics
Get time-aligned lyrics for a track. Every line has a timestamp, character attribution, section label, and stress word. Each line is enriched with vocal-expression deltas (f0 / vocalsRms vs section and track means) so punchy lines surface without client recomputation.
crompton_moment
Look up what's happening at a specific millisecond: the active frame, lyric line, section, character, and nearest landmark. For 'remember that part where...' queries.
crompton_digest
Get the hand-authored editorial digest for a track. Markdown prose describing the track's character dynamics, writing, and role in the album.
crompton_cookbook
Get the Stage API cookbook. Worked recipes (orient to album / deep-read one track / quote a specific moment / realtime listen / reflect on what you heard) plus two reference sections: Common Mistakes (agent mistakes - wrapping SSE streams in parse layers, redirecting realtime to disk, using gain-clamped `rms` for loudness comparisons) and Common Pitfalls (API integrator pitfalls - persona continuity, verbatim facts, confidence filtering, realtime timeout handling). Read this first if you're new to the API. Pass `section` to slice a single part if you only need one.
crompton_listen
Sample a track's realtime stream (up to 100 frames ≈ 6.7s at 15fps). Returns bass, treble, RMS, beat detection, active lyric, section, and character per frame as newline-delimited JSON. Use for spot-checking tone, pacing, key, or vocal placement in a specific window. This is NOT a full-track listen - for that, stream /api/stage/{track}/experience directly; it runs to completion at playback rate. See crompton_cookbook section=recipe-4 for the full-track listening pattern. Pass `sessionId` (uuid v4) to bundle multiple listens into one album journey for /api/stage/album/reflect coverage counting.
crompton_version
Current Stage API version + last-updated timestamp + pointer to the changelog. Use to detect API drift across sessions when you can't reach git history. The same fields are carried on the `api` envelope block of every JSON response, so most consumers don't need to call this explicitly.
crompton_changelog
The Stage API changelog (Markdown). Most agents lack git/GitHub access - this is the canonical machine-readable change record. Call after `crompton_version` if you spot drift since you last listened.
