Tool inventory
Tools (8)
🟢search_lessons(query, limit)
Search TheWholeTorah.ai for lessons on a topic, across Mishnah, Tanya, Hayom Yom and Chassidus. Returns titles, links and short excerpts. Use this first to find what exists, then get_lesson for one.
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"query": {
"type": "string",
"description": "What to look for, in any language."
},
"limit": {
"type": "number",
"description": "How many results (1-10, default 5)."
}
},
"required": [
"query"
]
}🟢get_lesson(slug)
Fetch one lesson by its slug (from search_lessons). Returns the lesson's opening in full and a link to read or listen to the rest on TheWholeTorah.ai.
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"slug": {
"type": "string",
"description": "The lesson slug."
}
},
"required": [
"slug"
]
}🟢get_source_text(slug)
Fetch the classical source text a lesson is built on (Mishnah, Shulchan Aruch, Tanya), vocalized, in full. These are public-domain texts via Sefaria.
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"slug": {
"type": "string",
"description": "A lesson slug; returns the source text that lesson teaches."
}
},
"required": [
"slug"
]
}🟢get_daily(date, language)
The Hayom Yom entry for a civil date (default: today in Jerusalem). Hayom Yom is the Rebbe's calendar of daily Chassidus teachings, one short entry per Hebrew calendar day. Note: the Jewish day begins at nightfall, so after dark the next day's entry applies.
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"date": {
"type": "string",
"description": "Civil date, YYYY-MM-DD. Default: today in Jerusalem."
},
"language": {
"type": "string",
"description": "Entry language: en, he, es, fr, ru, yi. Default en."
}
}
}🟢list_books
The catalog: every book and collection on TheWholeTorah.ai with its sections and published lesson counts. Use it to see what the library covers before searching.
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {}
}🟢search_sources(query, limit)
Hybrid search over the classical text corpora themselves (Mishnah, Talmud, Rashi, Rambam, Shulchan Aruch, Tanya, the commentaries and more), separate from our lessons. Returns labeled passages with links where available. Use search_lessons for our teaching; use this for the primary texts.
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"query": {
"type": "string",
"description": "What to look for, in any language."
},
"limit": {
"type": "number",
"description": "How many passages (1-10, default 5)."
}
},
"required": [
"query"
]
}🟢get_audio(slug)
Narration links for a lesson by slug: one MP3 URL per language that has a published recording, so the lesson can be listened to, not just read.
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"slug": {
"type": "string",
"description": "The lesson slug (from search_lessons or get_daily)."
}
},
"required": [
"slug"
]
}🟢ask(question, language)
Ask a question and get an answer grounded ONLY in TheWholeTorah.ai's own lessons and sources, with citations. It will say when it does not know rather than guess. Prefer this for 'what does X say about Y' questions.
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"question": {
"type": "string",
"description": "The question, in any language."
},
"language": {
"type": "string",
"description": "Answer language: en, he, es, fr, ru, yi. Default en."
}
},
"required": [
"question"
]
