Tools & capabilities
Ritoko tools

Bilig tools 8
list_sheetsDiscover sheet names and used dimensions before reading or editing a WorkPaper. Returns metadata only; use read_range or read_cell for values.read_rangeRead calculated values plus serialized formulas/inputs for an A1 range. Use for audit readback after edits; use read_cell for one address.read_cellRead one cell with calculated value, display text, formula text, formula diagnostics, and serialized content. Use after set_cell_contents to verify readback.set_cell_contentsWrite raw content to one cell and recalculate dependents in memory only. Start with --writable when the edit should persist to JSON.set_cell_contents_and_readbackWrite raw content to one cell, recalculate dependents, read a dependent range in the same tool call, and return persistence proof. Use this for stateless MCP clients such as hosted Open WebUI integrations.get_cell_display_valueReturn the formatted display string for one cell. Use when an agent needs what a user would see, not the raw numeric value.export_workpaper_documentExport the current WorkPaper JSON document for persistence, review, or handoff to another agent. Does not write files by itself.validate_formulaValidate formula syntax with the WorkPaper parser before writing it to a cell. This checks syntax only; use set_cell_contents plus readback to evaluate.
