Tools & Capabilities Breakdown

Horizun Revit MCP Tools (46)

horizun_health

Is the bridge alive, and WHICH Revit is on the other end — year, build, our own version and commit, and the document active right now (an explicit null when none is).

get_document_info

The open document, its counts and identity.

horizun_open_document

Open a model, refusing a file saved in another Revit version (opening upgrades it irreversibly) and refusing a workshared central unless asked twice.

horizun_save_document

Save, then prove it: the file's timestamp and size before and after. On a workshared model it says, loudly, that this is not a synchronize.

horizun_relinquish_all

Give back everything this user owns, and count what is still owned afterwards rather than assume zero.
