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

- `list\_chapters`: List all 81 chapters of the Tao Te Ching with their titles, plus the attribution blocks for each available rendering. Start here to orient.
- `get\_chapter`: Get one chapter \(1-81\) in both public renderings: the public-domain James Legge \(1891\) translation and Dao De Kooi, an original rendering by David Kooi. Each carries its own attribution and a ready-to-use citation string. The Kooi rendering is NOT public domain.
- `search\_chapters`: Search the full corpus for a word or phrase and get the matching lines with their chapter numbers. Use this when the user half-remembers a line and you need to find where it is.
- `consult`: Given what a person is actually facing — in their own words — find the chapter of the Tao Te Ching that speaks to it, and the one line to hold. Use this when someone describes a situation \(a betrayal, burnout, forcing an outcome, never feeling satisfied\) rather than asking about the text. Unlike sea
