Describe a task in plain language (any language) and get back exactly which tools on this server do it, with ready-to-run example calls — instead of reading the whole catalogue and guessing. Also returns multi-step recipes when a task needs several tools chained (invoices to a ledger, a bank statement reconciled, a messy CSV turned into a deliverable). Deterministic and free: it calls no model, costs nothing, and never runs out of quota. Call this FIRST when you are not sure what this server offers.

Translate text between languages using a self-hosted LibreTranslate engine (fully offline, no big-tech API). For whole PDFs with layout preserved, use translate_pdf instead. Example — GET https://ainetcafe.com/t/translate_text?text=hello+world&to=zh

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "text": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Text to translate (≤5000 chars)."
    },
    "target": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Target language code, e.g. \"zh\", \"en\", \"ja\"."
    },
    "source": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Source language code; default \"auto\"."
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "text",
    "target"
  ]
}

Translate an .srt subtitle file into another language while keeping every timestamp and cue number byte-identical. Cues are anchored by index and refilled in code, so the timeline cannot drift — the usual failure mode when you hand a whole .srt to a model.

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "srt": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "The .srt file content."
    },
    "url": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Or a link to the .srt file."
    },
    "to": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Target language, e.g. \"English\", \"日本語\"."
    }
  },
  "required": []
}

  "type": "object",
  "additionalProperties": true

Translate an i18n JSON locale file, keeping the key structure identical and placeholders ({name}, {{count}}, %s, HTML tags) intact. Pass existing_json to translate only the keys that are missing from it — the incremental sync people usually hand-roll a script for.

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "json": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Source locale file content (JSON)."
    },
    "url": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Or a link to the source JSON."
    },
    "to": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Target language."
    },
    "existing_json": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Existing target locale; only missing keys get translated."
    }
  },
  "required": []
}

Check text for grammar, spelling and style issues in 30+ languages (self-hosted LanguageTool). Returns each issue with a suggested replacement — apply them to produce corrected text. Example — GET https://ainetcafe.com/t/check_grammar?text=Their+going+to+the+park

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "text": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "The text to check (≤10000 chars)."
    },
    "language": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Language code like \"en-US\", \"zh-CN\"; default \"auto\"."
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "text"
  ]
}

Get the status or result of a job started by deep_research, translate_pdf, or make_slides. Poll every 15-30 seconds until status is "done" or "error". While work is pending, follow retry_after_seconds and next_action; when complete, prefer structured_result when present. Example — GET https://ainetcafe.com/t/check_job?job_id=<id-from-a-job-tool>

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "job_id": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "The job_id returned when the task was started."
    }

  "required": [
    "job_id"

Translate a PDF from a URL while preserving the original layout — formulas, figures and two-column academic typesetting stay intact, unlike ordinary translators that flatten the document. Returns a job_id; poll check_job for the download links (translated-only and bilingual side-by-side). Typically 20-60 seconds for a few pages. Powered by PDFMathTranslate (36k stars) hosted at AI NetCafé. Example — tools/call translate_pdf {"url":"<pdf-url>","target":"zh"} → poll check_job
