Tools

• handover.annotate ~634 tokens
  Add a durable comment anchored to selected text or lines in an immutable artifact revision. Read the artifact first and preserve the exact quote and surrounding context.
• handover.annotations ~166 tokens
  Read revision-anchored file comments, selected text, status, authorship, and resolution metadata. Use status=open to find feedback that still needs action.
• handover.assign ~169 tokens
  Replace the open assignments with the supplied collaborator identities. This changes collaboration state, not the immutable handover revision.
• handover.comment ~179 tokens
  Append a discussion comment and optionally notify explicitly mentioned collaborators.
• handover.continue ~717 tokens
  Append an immutable revision after reading the current snapshot. expectedRevisionId is mandatory to prevent overwriting another collaborator's work. Omitted artifacts are inherited; matching names are replaced.
• handover.create ~674 tokens
  Create durable shared context with an initial immutable revision. Authorship comes from the authenticated Handover identity.
• handover.get ~154 tokens
  Read a handover snapshot, continuation brief, artifact metadata, and revision history. Omit revisionId for the current snapshot.
• handover.okf.export ~132 tokens
  Export a handover revision as an Open Knowledge Format bundle for another human or agent system.
• handover.okf.import ~364 tokens
  Import Open Knowledge Format files into a new immutable Handover revision. Replaying the same bundle is idempotent.
• handover.publication ~132 tokens
  Read the stable report URL, entry file, access mode, and selected revision for a handover.
• handover.publish Sends messages · ~255 tokens
  Create or update a stable /r/{slug}/ report projection of a Handover revision.
• handover.pull ~162 tokens
  Return the selected files of a published report with paths, hashes, media types, and UTF-8 or base64 content.
• handover.read_artifact ~164 tokens
  Read bounded artifact content after inspecting a handover. Text is returned as UTF-8 and binary content as base64; truncated results report that explicitly.
• handover.search ~161 tokens
  Find current shared context with hybrid, semantic, or lexical retrieval across metadata and artifact content. Use an empty query to list recent handovers.
• handover.thread ~108 tokens
  Read comments, explicit mentions, assignments, and eligible collaborators without changing revision history.
• handover.update_comment ~744 tokens
  Edit an authored comment, or resolve/reopen an annotation. Set resolvedRevisionId when a new handover revision addressed the feedback.
• handover.whoami ~85 tokens
  Return the authenticated person or service agent, organization, workspace, role, and granted scopes. Call this before reading or publishing to confirm attribution and tenancy.
