Tools & capabilities

Fetchsandbox MCP tools 17

  • guideRoutes a symptom to a spec, workflow and known failure class
  • find_bugsAudits your project against known integration failure classes. No git remote needed — it reads the directory you point it at
  • fix_bugReturns a `git diff` for one finding. Doesn't touch your files
  • get_jobRetrieve the same running job without starting another analysis or proof
  • prove_fixRuns the failure against your code before and after the diff. Green only on a measured flip
  • validate_integrationProves **your own code** against a provider, not that our twin works. Hands back a fresh twin per provider, then reads our request log to report what your app actually called
  • quickrunRuns one of OUR curated workflows against a bundled spec. Green here says the provider behaves as documented — it says nothing about your integration
  • run_workflowThe same, on a sandbox you already have — this is where you re-run with a `scenario` armed
  • verify_behaviorShows a failure class on **reference** handlers — buggy vs fixed. Not your code
  • list_workflowsWorkflows AND the failure scenarios a spec can inject, in one answer
  • coachMulti-turn help building an integration
  • run_all_workflowsRuns several workflows in one call
