Research mode switches to nine kind-generic tools: search_files,
get_file, read_content, search_zims, get_zim_entry, get_inventory,
list_files, read_file, search_places. Tool definitions drop from 20
tools / 8,947 chars (~2,240 tokens) to 9 / 3,881 (~970) on every
request, a sixth of the 8k context the small tier runs with instead of
a quarter. The remaining descriptions are trimmed toward 300 chars.
The replaced per-kind endpoints are removed (four searches, three
getters, three readers, search_suggestions, the slug inventory route);
their tests move onto the generic routes. The research prompt, its
worked example, and the empty-search hint no longer tell the model to
list collections first: channels resolve by name from the library map
that is already in the prompt. list_collections, list_tags, and
get_map_overview stay as endpoints for the MCP wrappers but leave the
chat allowlist; the MCP search_suggestions tool goes since search_files
returns the same matches inline.
scripts/ai_eval.py expects search_files and treats "what channels do I
have" as answerable from context. On the 1.7B model against the dev
library both catalogs score 14/18, but the compact one answers with one
tool call where the old one needed up to five, no longer invents the
example's channel, and keeps kinds straight when asked for videos.

Small models carry every tool definition on every request, and the
per-kind trios (four searches, three getters, three readers) cost a
quarter of an 8k context while giving the model near-duplicate choices.
Three generic endpoints replace them:
- POST files/search: one search over videos, archives, and docs with an
optional kind; channel (name or id), domain, author, subject each
imply their kind and are ignored for other kinds. When the term also
names channels/domains/authors, they are returned as `matches` so the
model can narrow without a second tool. Channels resolve by name, so
the library map already in the prompt is enough: no list call first.
- GET files/{id}: detail by id whatever the kind; videos now report
has_captions/has_comments and the full description, archives keep
their snapshot history.
- GET files/{id}/content?part=text|comments: captions, page text, or
comments, paged; a wrong part for the kind says what the file is.
Inventories take an optional slug on GET /inventories (one tool lists
and fetches). Listings are slimmed: no derivable captions/text links,
no size/mimetype, duration as H:MM:SS, published as a date. The
library map gains the tag names.
wrolpi_mcp keeps every existing tool name; the wrappers now call the
generic routes, and search_files/get_file/read_content are exposed too.
The old per-kind endpoints remain until the modes switch over.

Five new read-only /api/ai endpoints, each with a matching wrolpi_mcp
proxy tool: list_tags (tags with what they are applied to, plus recent
names), search_suggestions (matching channels/domains/authors/subjects
and file/Zim result estimates), list_downloads (queue summary and lean
recurring/one-time entries with relative destinations; status filter;
errors keep their tail, which holds the exception message),
get_map_overview (map files, search-index state, subscriptions, pins
with map links), and search_places (place search with map links and
optional proximity ranking).
Research mode allowlists the library-facing four. Nothing here can
start, stop, or retry a download.

New read-only GET /api/ai/files/list lists one directory of the media
directory (directories first, then files with size and guessed
mimetype), paged at 100 entries. Every entry carries its relative
path for list_files or read_file. Same guards as read_file via a
shared resolver: no escaping the media directory, and the config
directory is refused and hidden from the root listing.
The agent loop picks the operation up from the spec; library mode
allowlists it. wrolpi_mcp gains the matching list_files proxy tool.

Every MCP tool is now one /api/ai call with minimal text rendering;
the formatting, link building, and truncation logic it used to carry
untested lives (tested) in modules/ai. Tool names are unchanged for
external clients; a source-scan test guards the names and that the
proxy only reaches /api/ai. New lean blueprint endpoints back the two
tools that had no equivalent: GET archives/{id} (detail + snapshot
history) and GET videos/{id}/comments (paged author lines). Paged
content is read up to the old 50k-char bound. get_inventory_items now
takes the inventory slug (inventories are config-only; the old
numeric-id endpoint no longer exists). This also brings wrolpi_mcp
into version control (venv/ is already gitignored).

Lean, flat, LLM-shaped read-only endpoints over the library: global,
video, archive, and doc search; paged captions, archive text, and zim
entries; collections, inventories, and a media-directory text reader.
Links are server-computed; big content is paged, never truncated.
This ports the formatting layer from wrolpi_mcp (untouched for now)
into tested code. First phase of ai.md.
