Tools Overview (74 Tools)

LocalNest provides a comprehensive suite of 74 MCP tools designed for local-first AI engineering. Use them in layers: start with Agent Prime for unified context, use Fused Search to find information across domains, and leverage Batch Operations for high-performance memory management.

🚦 Choosing the Right Tool

Goal	Primary Tool	Advantage
Start a task	localnest_agent_prime	Returns memories, entities, files, and actions in one call.
Search everything	localnest_find	Fused RRF ranking across memory, code, and KG.
Navigate code	localnest_find_definition	Jumps straight to the source of any symbol.
Set a preference	localnest_teach	Stores a behavior modifier that surfaces in future tasks.
Bulk migration	localnest_kg_add_triples_batch	Processes up to 500 facts in a single transaction.
Check health	localnest_audit	Comprehensive visual score of your AI's knowledge base.

🛠️ Typical Agentic Workflow

1. Context Rehydration: Use localnest_agent_prime to get up to speed on the current task.
2. Discovery: Use localnest_find to locate relevant modules or memories.
3. Deep Dive: Use localnest_find_callers or localnest_read_file for implementation details.
4. Action: Perform the task (edit files, fix bugs).
5. Documentation: Use localnest_capture_outcome to persist what was learned.
6. Refinement: Use localnest_teach to store new behavioral rules for next time.
