Tools as reported by the server

• get_testing_guidelines
  Query the IA-QA methodology knowledge base. Returns structured testing guidelines, assertion strategies, thresholds, best practices, and relevant MCP tools for a given topic. Call without a topic to list all available topics. Topics: llm-unit-testing, rag-pipeline, prompt-stability, prompt-ab-testin
• find_tool
  Search available MCP tools by keyword or category before calling them. Returns matching tool names, descriptions, and optionally their inputSchemas. Call this when you are unsure which tool to use or want to explore the catalogue. Categories: data, encoding, text, llm, qa, rag, dev, security, web.
• hallucination_check
  Lexical hallucination check: verifies an LLM answer's words, numbers and polarity against the provided source/context. Fast, deterministic, no API key needed. Each answer sentence is aligned to its best-matching source sentence, so a number only counts as support when it sits on the SAME statement (
• run_eval_contract
  Parse a .ia-eval.yaml LLM test suite, call the specified LLM model for each scenario, run all configured scorers, and return a structured JSON report with per-scenario Pass/Fail verdicts and a Markdown summary. Use list_local_tests to discover available test files.
• run_semantic_tests
  Semantic assertion primitive: compare actual vs expected text pairs using cosine similarity + ROUGE-L. Two modes: tfidf (default, free, no API key) or embeddings (OpenAI text-embedding-3-small, BYOK, true semantic similarity). Returns per-case PASS/FAIL verdicts and an overall verdict. CI-ready: pip
• generate_ci_workflow
  Generate a ready-to-commit GitHub Actions workflow that gates a build on IA-QA. Two gate types, combinable: "eval_contract" runs a .ia-eval.yaml through ia-qa-com/eval-action@v1 (LLM quality gate, needs a provider API key as a repo secret), and "cli_checks" runs deterministic primitives via npx @ia-
• needle_haystack_generate
  Generate a "needle in a haystack" test: embeds a target fact into a large block of filler text at a specified position. Use this to test LLM context window retrieval accuracy. Returns the full haystack, the question to ask, and metadata. No API key needed.
• generate_eval_yaml
  Generate a complete .ia-eval.yaml evaluation contract from a plain-language description of what your LLM should do. Uses Groq openai/gpt-oss-20b (server-side, no API key needed). Returns ready-to-run YAML for the LLM Test Runner (run_eval_contract). Picks appropriate evaluators (cosine_similarity, c
• metamorphic_check
  Reference-free stability primitive: instead of comparing an answer to a ground truth, it checks that an assistant's answer stays INVARIANT when the QUESTION is transformed (typo, casing, paraphrase, reordering, translation). Catches the failure class no reference answer can expose — an assistant tha
• test_skill
  Test a SKILL.md in the open Agent Skills format (https://agentskills.io/specification — read by Claude Code, Codex, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Gemini CLI, OpenCode and others) in two stages. (1) lint: the spec's frontmatter rules checked without a model (name 1-64 chars, lowercase/digits/single hyphens
• llm_output_validator
  Validate an LLM response against QA criteria: format checks (JSON, code, markdown), content rules (must-include, must-not-include), length constraints, language detection, and safety patterns. Essential for QA testing LLM-powered features.
• compare_responses
  Compare two ALREADY-PRODUCED outputs (e.g. model A vs model B on the same task) side by side. Returns deterministic metrics (token cosine, ROUGE-L, Jaccard, length/structure deltas, JSON diff) and a verdict. If a `reference` (ground truth) is given, scores each output against it and picks the closer
• analyze_responses
  Semantically analyze N already-produced model outputs for the SAME task (the MCP counterpart to the LLM Sandbox). Without a reference: computes consensus — pairwise cosine agreement, the most-representative output, and the outlier. With a `reference` (ground truth): also ranks every output by closen
• prompt_test_suite
  Define a test suite for a prompt: provide the system prompt, user prompt, and expected output criteria. Returns a test plan with scored rubric — use this as input for manual or automated LLM evaluation.
• llm_format_check
  Validate that an LLM output matches an expected format: JSON, Markdown, code block, bullet list, numbered list, table, YAML, XML, or custom regex. Essential for structured output testing.
• consistency_check
  Compare multiple LLM responses to the same prompt and detect inconsistencies using Jaccard word-overlap similarity and fact drift (number comparison). Fast, deterministic, no API key needed. Limitations: relies on surface-level word matching — "Paris is the capital of France" vs "Paris is the French
• llm_json_schema_check
  Validate that an LLM JSON output matches a JSON Schema definition. Tests required fields, types, enums, nested objects, and arrays. Critical for function-calling and structured output testing.
• response_quality_score
  Score an LLM response against the criteria you pass: coverage of expected_keywords and compliance with max_length. Returns a 0-100 score over the criteria actually measured — or total_score null with the reason when none is given, because relevance and correctness cannot be read off word overlap (a
• conversation_analyze
  Analyze a multi-turn conversation for context retention, topic drift, instruction following, and repetition. Accepts messages array [{role, content}]. Essential for chatbot QA.
• cot_analyzer
  Analyze a Chain-of-Thought (CoT) or reasoning trace from an LLM. Detects step count, logical flow, conclusion presence, backtracking, and estimates reasoning depth. Useful for o1/o3/DeepSeek-R1 evaluation.
• ab_test_report
  Generate an A/B test report comparing two prompts or model configurations. Accepts arrays of scores and returns statistical comparison: mean, median, std deviation, winner, and improvement percentage.
• similarity_score
  Compute text similarity between reference and hypothesis using multiple metrics: Cosine (BoW, TF-IDF), Jaccard, ROUGE-1, ROUGE-2, ROUGE-L, and BLEU. No API key needed. Ideal for LLM eval (expected vs actual), RAG quality checks, and NLG benchmarking. Supports batch mode.
• run_vlm_test_suite
  Run a test suite against a Vision-Language Model (VLM) — send an image (URL or base64) + N test cases (each with a question + assertion) to GPT-4o, Claude 3.5, or Gemini. Returns per-case PASS/FAIL verdicts, a pass rate, an overall PASS/WARNING/FAIL verdict (customizable threshold), and latency stat
• embedding_similarity
  Compute text similarity using local algorithms (Bag of Words, TF-IDF, Character N-grams). No API key needed — runs entirely in-process. NOT real embeddings: for true semantic similarity with vector embeddings, use run_semantic_tests with mode="embeddings" and your OpenAI API key. Supports single pai
• rag_relevance_rank
  Rank an array of text chunks by relevance to a query using TF-IDF scoring. Simulates retrieval ranking for RAG testing without needing embeddings or an API.
• bm25_score
  Compute BM25 relevance score between a query and one or more documents. BM25 is the industry-standard keyword-based ranking algorithm used in Elasticsearch, OpenSearch, and Weaviate hybrid search. Returns ranked results with normalized scores.
• build_rag_prompt
  Assemble a complete RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) prompt from retrieved context chunks and a user query. Handles token budgeting, citation numbering, system instruction injection, and source attribution.
• rerank_evaluate
  Evaluate RAG retrieval quality: rank passages against a query and compute Precision@k / Recall@k plus a PASS/FAIL CI verdict from ground-truth relevance labels. Three modes, all keyless except the last. (1) BYO scores — give each passage the `score` your own reranker produced (Cohere, Jina, a self-h
• count_tokens
  Estimate the token count of a text string using the cl100k_base approximation (~4 chars/token). Call this BEFORE sending any text to an LLM API to check if it fits within the model context window and to estimate cost. Returns token estimate, character count, and word count.
• extract_json_from_text
  Extract the first valid JSON object or array embedded in chaotic LLM output (surrounded by markdown fences, prose, or explanatory text). Handles ```json blocks and inline JSON. Call this whenever an LLM returns structured data mixed with explanation text instead of raw JSON.
• estimate_llm_cost
  Estimate the API cost in USD for a given model and token counts. Supports all major 2024–2026 models: GPT-4o, GPT-4.1, o3, o4-mini, Claude Opus 4, Claude Sonnet 4/4.5, Gemini 2.5 Pro/Flash, DeepSeek V3/R1, Grok 3, and legacy models.
