Tools & Capabilities Breakdown

Seven Dpt MCP Tools (8)

add_problem

Add a long-running problem to your set (refused past the ~12 cap until you retire/merge something — or pass `overCap`)

update_problem

Edit, **retire**, **solve**, or reopen a problem. Closing takes a `resolution` — why, plus the re-open trigger; a merge is a retirement whose resolution names the absorber

list_problems

See your open problems

get_problem

One problem + every spark (idea, next step, outcome) — the memory

evoke

The loop.** Feed it a trick; returns your problems + a scaffold walking evocation → transcendence → approach

capture_spark
