Tools & Capabilities Breakdown

Reportflow MCP Tools (15)

authenticate

Re:port Flow への OAuth2 認証を行います。ブラウザが起動し、ログイン・ワークスペース選択・consent を経てトークンを keychain (または XDG file) に保存します。他のツールが認証エラーを返したら、まずこのツールを呼んでください。force=true で既存トークンを破棄して再認証します。

get_design_parameters

【PDF 生成の起点 / Sampling 不要・全クライアント対応】指定 designId のパラメータ構造（各フィールドの name・type・label、および作成者が設定した場合は意味・入力ガイドを表す description）を取得します。generate_pdf_sync / generate_pdfs_async を呼ぶ前に必ず本ツールでスキーマを確認し、description があればその意図に沿って、ユーザーから実値を聞き取って params を組み立ててください。プレースホルダーや架空値の生成は禁止です。

list_templates

ワークスペース内のデザイン一覧を取得します。各デザインのID・名称・最新バージョン・サムネイルURLを返します。取得したidをdesignIdとしてPDF生成ツールやget_design_parametersに使用します。テンプレートを選ぶ際は、まず label（名称）とユーザーの希望の一致度を最優先に判断し、最も近いものを選んでください。名称だけで絞り込めない場合に限り作業内容から推測してよく、それでも曖昧な場合は候補を提示してユーザーに確認してください。

generate_pdf_sync

デザインIDとパラメータを指定してPDFを生成します。応答にダウンロード URL が含まれるため、本ツール 1 回の呼び出しで結果提示が完結します (別途ダウンロード用ツールを呼ぶ必要はありません)。 - stdio モード (Claude Desktop / Code): ローカルに保存し絶対パスも返します。outputDir で保存先を指定できます (未指定時はクライアントのワークスペース Roots または OS 一時ディレクトリ)。 - HTTP モード (claude.ai / n8n 等): サーバー側には保存せず、ダウンロード URL (fileUrl) と requestId / fileId を返します。【重要】呼び出し前に必ず get_design_parameters でデザインの必要パラメータ構造を確認し、ユーザーから必要な値を聞き出すこと。プレースホルダー値・架空の値を勝手に生成しないこと。【passthrough のプライバシー注意】content.passthrough のトップレベルの文字列/数値の値は生成 PDF の XMP メタデータに埋め込まれ、PDF 受領者や OS のファイル検索 (Spotlight / Windows Search) から閲覧可能になるため、個人情報・機微情報を入れないこと。
