Discovery is layered — start small, drill down:
list_namespaces — compact summary of all namespaces with entry counts; cheapest first-contact calllist_uris(namespace?) — full URI registry, optionally scoped to one namespace (e.g. namespace="projects")read_uri — retrieve content for any namespace URIsearch_by_tag — find entries by tag across all namespaceslist_tags — list all tags with entry countsget_graph — full URI relationship graph with top hubs and bridges| Namespace | Content |
