• hydracept_workspace_statusCheck workspace/session authentication and readiness, plus common setup errors. Use when setup, auth, or project binding is in doubt; use hydracept_job_status for a specific execution. Does not execute capabilities or sp
• hydracept_capabilitiesBrowse or fetch capability descriptors (keys, modes, schemas). Use hydracept_resolve_capability when routing from intent alone. List/resolve is keyless; a bearer key may add project-scoped fields. No charge. Read-only. R
• hydracept_resolve_capabilityMatch the user's goal to a capability key using natural language. Use when the key is unknown; use hydracept_capabilities when you already have a key or need the catalog. Keyless. No charge. Read-only. Returns: Capabilit
• hydracept_quote_capabilityPreview what a run would cost — does not execute, create a job, or charge the wallet. Use before spending when the user asks about price; use hydracept_run or hydracept_submit_job only to execute. Not the same as request
• hydracept_runRun a capability (paid). Use when the user wants execution — not for quotes (hydracept_quote_capability), status (hydracept_job_status), or receipts (hydracept_get_receipt). Default wait=true waits until the job finishes

• hydracept_cancel_jobRequest cancellation of one job. Use only when the user explicitly asks to cancel the job itself; stopping a local polling loop is not a cancellation. Returns whether the request was accepted, whether the job is already
• hydracept_get_receiptRead billing and provenance for a finished job. Does not run capabilities or spend money. Use after terminal success; use hydracept_job_status while still running. Hosted MCP accepts job_id only. Requires bearer key. No
• hydracept_download_artifactFetch artifact metadata (and SHA-256 on hosted MCP) for a succeeded job output. Stdio may also write bytes when output_path is set. Requires bearer key. No charge on hosted. Returns: Artifact downloadUrl, mediaType, sha2
• hydracept_jobs_findFind a prior job in the bound project when you do not have its id. intent is recent, failed, or reusable. The list never includes prompt text. Use after context loss, for failure triage, or to recover a job to cancel. Re
