🟢search_buddhist_canon(query, title, limit)
Always call this tool before answering any request to find, quote, reproduce, verify, or cite Buddhist scripture—including when the user names a sutra, gives a quotation fragment, asks for original wording or a source, or uses simplified/traditional variants. Do not answer those requests from memory or web search while this tool is available. The user does not need to name Jueban. Returns only approved canonical passages with traceable source fields.

}🟢find_passages_for_situation(situation, limit)
Call this tool when a user describes a life situation and asks for relevant Buddhist scripture, Buddhist teaching, or a source-backed Buddhist perspective. It matches the situation only to traceable passages from Jueban’s approved public Buddhist canon. Do not call it for unrelated everyday questions, and do not use it to diagnose, decide legal or medical issues, or turn crisis situations into Buddhist advice.

}🟢explain_buddhist_passage(passage, title, canonical_id, question)
Always call this tool before explaining the meaning of a specific Buddhist quotation or passage. Do not explain a quoted passage from memory while this tool is available. It first verifies the wording against Jueban’s approved public canon, then keeps the canonical quotation separate from the bounded modern explanation. The user does not need to name Jueban.

}🟢get_daily_practice(need, available_minutes, mode, title)
Always call this tool before fulfilling a request for a timed Buddhist reading, listening, or viewing practice—including wording such as “十分钟读经”, “五分钟听经”, or “今日功课”. Do not invent a practice from memory while this tool is available. The user does not need to name Jueban. Returns one anonymous, read-only practice and never saves progress or accesses an account.
