Get one glossary entry with its full definition, plain-English explanation, example, sources, and absolute url. Use this to explain or cite a specific concept. Accepts an ID, title, or alias. Includes everydayMeaning and an optional everydayMeaningNote when available; unknown names may return suggestions, and ambiguous names need an exact ID.

  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "id": {
      "type": "string",
      "minLength": 1,
      "description": "Entry ID, title, or alias, for example \"rag\", \"Vector Database\", or \"retrieval augmented generation\"."

}

Explain a concept in context by getting it together with the glossary entries editors linked as related, in their chosen order, with absolute url links. Accepts an ID, title, or alias. Neighbors default to full; compact detail shortens neighbors while keeping the main entry full.

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "detail": {
      "description": "\"full\" returns complete related entries (default); \"compact\" returns neighbor summaries. The main entry always stays full.",

Discover the glossary's broad topic areas and their IDs, absolute url links, member IDs (termIds), and counts (termCount). Use get_category to read a topic's entries.

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {},
  "$schema": "https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema"
}

Get a topic area, its membership and link, and its glossary entries. ID-only requests return all entries in full. Adding detail, limit, or cursor enables pages (25 default, 100 maximum); detail defaults full. total counts the full topic. Use list_categories to discover IDs and get_term for a full entry.

Discover editor-curated learning paths. Each path lists its ID, absolute url, count (termCount), and entry IDs (termIds) in recommended order. Use get_line to read a path.

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {},
  "$schema": "https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema"
}

Get a learning path, its membership and absolute url, and all its glossary entries in recommended order. Use this to learn a topic step by step. Entries default to full explanations; compact detail returns summaries. Use list_lines to discover path IDs.

Browse compact glossary summaries with absolute url links when you want an overview rather than a keyword search. Optional topic and learning-path filters intersect. Entries keep glossary order, including when filtered by path; use get_line for path order. Pages default to 25, maximum 100; total counts all filtered entries. Use get_term for full content.
