## Tools (as reported by the server, not verified)

- `search\_corpus`: Semantic search across fojin's Buddhist corpus \(10K+ texts, 30+ langs\). Returns the most relevant passages, each with a \`urn\`, title, snippet and similarity score. \`lang\` optionally filters by language code \(lzh=Classical Chinese, pi=Pali, sa=Sanskrit, bo=Tibetan, en=English\).
- `read\_passage`: Read the full content of one fascicle \(卷\) of a text, with its \`urn\`. Use the \`text\_id\`/\`juan\_num\` from a search\_corpus hit. Returns the actual canonical text — quote from this, not from memory.
- `get\_parallels`: Cross-canon parallel passages aligned to a fascicle. fojin's alignment moat: given a Chinese fascicle, returns the aligned Pali/Tibetan/Sanskrit parallels so you can compare how a passage is rendered across traditions.

- `lookup\_dictionary`: Look up a Buddhist term across fojin's dictionaries \(748K+ entries\).
- `lookup\_entity`: Search fojin's knowledge graph for entities — people, places, works, doctrinal terms — matching \`query\`.
- `resolve\_urn`: Resolve a fojin URN \(e.g. fojin:cbeta/T0001.1\) to a reader URL and confirm it exists in the corpus. Use to verify or dereference a citation.
- `verify\_quote`: Verify that a Buddhist-canon quote exists VERBATIM in the corpus. Call this before presenting any quoted scripture to a reader: LLMs routinely invent plausible-looking quotes. Returns \`verbatim\` \(bool\), where it was found \(\`matches\`, each with a resolvable \`urn\`\), or the closest near-miss window whe
- `commentaries`: What the historical commentators said about a passage of Buddhist scripture. Give a line of a sūtra and get back the classical commentaries that gloss it — each with the commentator's own words, the work it comes from, a quality tier, and a resolvable citation. This is the layer no other tool expose
