Tools & Capabilities Breakdown

Kaeris MCP Tools (7)

kaeris_scan_repo

kaeris_status

Completeness/health per target locale — missing keys, extra keys, placeholder mismatches, plus the quality detectors that gate a merge in CI: number drift, lost inline tags, broken entities/escapes, ICU/CLDR plural gaps (same verdict as `kaeris check --json`)

The exact missing/broken keys (with source text) for one target locale, so an agent knows exactly what to fix

kaeris_list_languages

List all supported target languages

kaeris_translate

Translate inline strings → per-language results, with QA (placeholder-loss & UI-overflow flags; `verify=True` back-translates to check meaning)
