Feature & Specification Comparison
Tools & Capabilities Breakdown
Sensefold Tools (9)
search_hub
Hybrid keyword + semantic search across the whole library. English, Chinese, or mixed queries; matching is cross-lingual. Filters: `tags`, `provenance` (`authored` / `clipped` / `ai_summary` / `ocr` / `any`), `start` + `end` date range, `limit` (default 5, max 50).
list_items
Recent items, newest first. Filters: `start` + `end` (ISO, together), `provenance`, `keyword` (literal AND over full text, not semantic), `limit` (default 10, max 50).
get_item
One item by UUID as Markdown text plus `version`. Windowed: default first 8,000 characters, then `windowStart` = previous `nextStart` (`windowLength` up to 20,000). Chunk mode: `chunk` (ordinal from `chunkRef`) with `chunkRadius` 0–3 neighbours (default 1).
get_quota
The user's plan, remaining credits, and storage.
save_link
Save an HTTP(S) URL (`id` UUID v4 you generate, `url`). Capture and enrichment run asynchronously and spend credits like a save from the app; the response reports `status`, `replayed`, and `consentRequired` / `insufficientCredits` when enrichment did not run.
