- `list\_references`: See what FinOps guidance is available: billing mechanics, commitment strategy, allocation and chargeback, AI cost management, and per-provider cost handbooks \(AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI, Databricks, Snowflake, ...\). Use this to discover what the library covers before deciding what to fetch. When the quest
- `get\_reference`: Fetch the guidance on one FinOps topic - the billing mechanics, decision rules and worked examples behind a defensible answer - either whole or one section at a time. Use this when you need the actual content of one known reference, after \`\`list\_references\`\` or \`\`find\_references\`\` told you which one
- `find\_references`: Find which guidance serves a FinOps question - how to commit, size, allocate, charge back, forecast, or govern cloud and AI spend. Use this for questions like "how should we size Savings Plans", "what should Finance own in chargeback", "what does a Crawl-stage org tackle first" - anything that maps
- `list\_playbooks`: See every ready-made runbook for finding and fixing cloud waste: idle, orphaned and overprovisioned resources, egress surprises, schedule blindness and AI/ML inefficiency across AWS, Azure and GCP. Use this to discover which waste patterns have a runbook. When the question already names a provider,
- `get\_playbook`: Fetch the step-by-step runbook for one specific waste pattern: symptoms, the detection queries to run, the fix, and the anti-pattern to avoid. Use this when the user asks how to detect, confirm, or fix one specific named waste pattern \(zombie NAT gateway, snapshot sprawl, idle SageMaker endpoint, ..
- `find\_playbooks`: Finds the runbook for a specific cloud waste pattern, filtered by provider, service, waste category or detection confidence. Useful before answering a specific waste or cost-fix question: each runbook includes a tested detection query the user can run in their own account, so it also serves question
