Direct answer
The curated app exposes 24 owner-scoped tools: ten for starting and writing a persistent book, nine for manuscript metrics, surgical continuity control, and connected cover preparation, and five for review and publication packages. Accepted-chapter replacement, approved continuity patching, and final publication are the only destructive actions.
Start and write
list_books, create_book, save_book_blueprint, get_book_status, start_writing_session, get_chapter_packet, catch_me_up, accept_current_chapter, replace_accepted_chapter, and extend_book keep one durable project aligned with the author’s cursor and approvals.
Measure and refine
get_manuscript_metrics, scan_continuity, get_surgical_edit_packet, stage_continuity_issue, record_continuity_chapter_result, apply_continuity_patch, record_continuity_decision, get_surgical_edit_progress, and get_cover_brief provide bounded metrics, continuity decisions, and an original cover handoff.
Review and publish
prepare_book_for_review, save_publishing_package, finalize_publication, rerender_publication_package, and get_publication_status manage editable metadata, immutable snapshots, private files, and render recovery.
Frequently asked
Can a card call a mutation itself?
No. Cards render state and open bounded BookWriter links; mutation tools remain under the model and confirmation flow.
