Feature & Specification Comparison
Tools & Capabilities Breakdown
Noyalib MCP Tools (5)
noyalib_get
Takes `{ file: string, path: string }`; returns the raw source fragment at the dotted/indexed path (e.g. `server.host`, `items[0].name`). No re-quoting; no canonicalisation.
noyalib_set
Takes `{ file: string, path: string, value: string }`; returns the file rewritten via the lossless CST so only the touched span changes; comments, blank lines, and sibling formatting survive byte-for-byte. The `value` is a YAML fragment (`0.0.2`, `"hello"`, `[1, 2, 3]`); a parse failure leaves the…
noyalib_parse
Takes `{ yaml: string }`; returns the JSON data model of the text (tags stripped, a stream as an array). Stateless: nothing on disk is touched.
noyalib_edit
Takes `{ yaml: string, path: string, value: string }`; returns the whole text with that one value replaced losslessly. Stateless.
noyalib_validate
