Retrieval tools for coding agents, no model in the loop: files, search, read, code_pack and write_note over the folder your session is opened in, served over MCP.
Emerging. No concerning findings. Grades remain capped until the project builds reputation through adoption. Grades reflect the full trust pyramid: code, verification depth, and reputation. New projects cap at C until adoption is earned.

The grade above is for the source repository. Registries can serve a different version, so we mark the ones we were not able to read.
These names and descriptions are the publisher's own, read from the source code. We print them as written. Our assessment is the findings above, not this list.
dynamic_tool_121silica_read_noteRead a vault note by name (wikilink-style resolution).
silica_linksOutgoing wikilinks of a note, as root-relative paths.
silica_backlinksNotes that link to this note, as root-relative paths.
silica_orphansNotes with no incoming link: {total, orphans} capped at 200.
silica_unresolvedWikilinks whose target is not a note, as {source, target}.
silica_filesAsk what the index could see before trusting a search or calling absence. Inventory of the root and what the index did with each file: `indexed` (in the index, matches disk), `changed` (differs from the index), `excluded` (an ignore rule or a type the index does not read; `reason` says which), `fail…
silica_searchFor a question that names no identifier (what a behaviour is, where it is decided, why), call this before Grep, Read or Glob: it ranks passages and, in a source tree, the functions, methods, classes and constants themselves, by the question's words and their vectors. Do not grep for the words of a q…
silica_readRead a located slice before citing it: lines `start..end`, one `section` by heading, a PDF page, or the whole file when it fits `max_chars`, always with the outline and a `version`; `truncated` and `next_start` say how to continue. A PDF is served from its own text layer, page by page: `section="p. …
silica_code_packUse before editing or explaining a source file, or when a traceback or a diff names `file:line`: one call serves the file, a `#Class.member`, or the symbol at `#L<line>`, with its supertypes, extenders, callers, the signatures it names, external dependencies and importers, inside a character budget.…
silica_write_noteWrite one note atomically, as given, then lint it: `lint` lists structural violations and unresolved wikilinks. Refuses to overwrite when `expect_version` does not match or when `create_only` is set and the file exists. Undo is git; the core keeps no journal.

No tools have read-only/destructive annotations
Add readOnlyHint or destructiveHint annotations to every tool so hosts can warn users before invoking.
All four hints declared on every tool
11/11 tools missing one or more hints — dynamic_tool_121 (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); silica_read_note (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); silica_links (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +8 more. OpenAI's directory rejects tools where any of the four hints are missing or non-boolean.
For every tool, set all four hints (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint) to explicit true/false values that match the handler’s actual behaviour.
Tool test coverage
4/11 tools referenced in tests (36%)
Write tests that reference each tool by name so every tool has at least one test.
