Tools & Capabilities Breakdown

Endiagram MCP Tools (7)

structure

What is this system? Returns shape (Pipeline, Fork-Join, DAG, Star, Cycle, Tree, Complete, etc.), stages with roles, bridge nodes, cycles, parallelism, critical path, dominator tree, min-cuts, subsystems, interface nodes, actors (who does what, workload entropy), locations (where work happens, boundary crossings). Levers: node=X returns per-node centrality (betweenness, closeness, eigenvector) for a specific node. detect_findings=true flags named structural risks — unguarded-sink (sinks reachable via only pipeline actions, no JOIN/HUB gating), single-cut-path (source-sink pairs with only one vertex-disjoint path), multi-cut-path (paths with redundant defense, min-cut > 1). See server instructions for EN language syntax.

invariant

What's always true — automatic findings and on-demand checks. Automatic outputs: conservationLaws (weighted entity sums constant across executions), sustainableCycles (T-invariants — action sequences returning to start state), depletableSets (entity groups whose simultaneous depletion is irreversible), behavioral.deficiency (0 means structure fully determines dynamics), behavioral.isReversible, behavioral.hasUniqueEquilibrium. On-demand via `rules`: encode domain-specific claims and verify them against the graph — this is how to check things the topology alone can't see (precedence, coverage, centrality bounds, resilience). See the rules parameter for supported sentence shapes.

live

Can it deadlock? Can entities overflow? isStructurallyLive means every siphon contains a trap — no structural deadlock possible. uncoveredSiphons are entity groups that can drain permanently, with the actors and locations affected. isStructurallyBounded means no entity can accumulate without limit. unboundedCycles are action sequences that could cause overflow. See the server instructions for EN language syntax.
