When the user asks about TappsMCP tools (e.g. "when do I use tapps_score_file?",
"what tools does TappsMCP have?", "tapps_quick_check vs tapps_quality_gate"),
provide the full tool reference from this skill.
Essential tools (always-on workflow)
| Tool | When to use it |
|---|
| tapps_session_start | FIRST call in every session - returns server info only |
| tapps_quick_check | After editing any Python file - quick score + gate + basic security |
| tapps_validate_changed | Before multi-file complete - score + gate on changed files. Always pass explicit file_paths. Default is quick; quick=false is a last resort. |
| tapps_checklist | Before declaring complete - reports which tools were called |
| tapps_quality_gate | Before declaring work complete - ensures file passes preset |
Scoring & quality
| Tool | When to use it |
|---|
| tapps_score_file | When editing/reviewing - use quick=True during edit loops |
| tapps_server_info | At session start - discover version, tools, recommended workflow |
Documentation & experts
| Tool | When to use it |
|---|
| tapps_lookup_docs | Before writing code using an external library |
| tapps_consult_expert | Domain-specific decisions (security, testing, APIs, etc.) |
| tapps_research | Combined expert + docs in one call |
| tapps_list_experts | See which expert domains exist |
Project & memory
| Tool | When to use it |
|---|
| tapps_project_profile | When you need project context (tech stack, type) |
| tapps_memory | Session start: search past decisions. Session end: save learnings |
| tapps_session_notes | Key decisions during session - promote to memory for persistence |
Validation & analysis
| Tool | When to use it |
|---|
| tapps_security_scan | Security-sensitive changes or before security review |
| tapps_validate_config | When adding/changing Dockerfile, docker-compose, infra |
| tapps_impact_analysis | Before modifying a file's public API |
| tapps_dead_code | Find unused code during refactoring |
| tapps_dependency_scan | Check for CVEs before releases |
| tapps_dependency_graph | Understand module dependencies, circular imports |
Pipeline & init
| Tool | When to use it |
|---|
| tapps_init | Pipeline bootstrap (once per project) - creates AGENTS.md, rules, hooks. CLI fallback: tapps-mcp upgrade --force --host auto then tapps-mcp doctor |
| tapps_upgrade | After TappsMCP version update - refreshes generated files |
| tapps_doctor | Diagnose configuration issues |
| tapps_set_engagement_level | Change enforcement intensity (high/medium/low) |
Use tapps_server_info for the latest recommended workflow string.
