Tools (5)
prepare_review1,066 tokCall before reviewing code or a draft report with your own model. Takes the core profiles: general, solidity, report. Scans the files for secrets, then returns a SHA-256 manifest, the reviewer instructions, the output format and the request to answer. File contents are not sent back. When the scan blocks, the result lists file, line and kind of each match. A hosted profile is refused with code hosted_profile: run it with run_review. No account needed.
run_review614 tokRuns the review on the provider and model you name, using the key in the X-Provider-Key header, and returns the review, its verdict, the reference check, the manifest and the remaining allowance. Takes every profile and is the only way to run a hosted one. The verdict and panel profiles run on an Operator plan: a free account is refused with code operator_only and keeps its daily review. Uses one hosted review. A review the provider blocks under its usage policy comes back with refused true and blocked naming the block, or fails with code provider_policy: neither is counted. A model that decli
build_packet478 tokCall after writing a review from prepare_review. Reads the review, checks every cited file and line against the manifest, and returns the verdict, the reference problems and the Markdown evidence packet with file hashes. No account needed.
list_profiles102 tokCall first when you do not know which review fits. Returns every review profile with what it checks, what files it needs and whether it is hosted, the gauntlet stage order, the verdicts per mode, and the provider and model ids run_review accepts. A hosted profile runs through run_review; a core one also runs on your own model through prepare_review. No account needed.
account64 tokCall before run_review to check the allowance. Returns the plan, the hosted reviews used today, the number that run at once and the time the allowance resets. Needs the connection token in the Authorization header.
