This is the approximate number of tokens consumed each time the server's tools are loaded into a model's context. Higher counts reduce the attention available for other tasks.

🟢list_decks

The catalog of K2 study decks: eight curated datasets spanning Japanese kanji and vocabulary, HSK Chinese, Korean Hangul, Spanish, French, classical Latin and medical Latin. Returns each deck id (the value other tools take), what it teaches, how many entries it has, and what its fields mean. Call this before search_deck.

Input Schema

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {}
}
🟢search_deck(deck, query, category, difficulty, limit, ...)

Search one deck. `query` substring-matches the term, its reading/pronunciation, its English meanings, and its category, so "bone" finds entries glossed as bone and "ㄱ" finds that jamo. Narrow with `category` (exact, from list_decks) or `difficulty` (1-5; for the kanji deck this is the school grade). Paginated via `offset`.

Input Schema

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "deck": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Deck id from list_decks",
      "enum": [
        "japanese-kanji",
        "japanese-vocabulary",

    },

      "description": "Skip this many matches (paging)"
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "deck"
  ]
}
🟢get_entry(deck, term)

One deck entry in full, matched on the exact term (the kanji, hanzi, jamo, or word itself). Case-insensitive. Returns every field the deck carries, including the deck-specific extras: stroke counts and JLPT level for kanji, component kanji for compounds, declension and English derivatives for Latin, IPA and pronunciation audio for French.

Input Schema

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "deck": {
      "type": "string",

      "description": "Exact term to fetch"
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "deck",
    "term"
  ]
}
🟢get_cube_algorithms(set, case_id, group, limit)

Rubik's cube last-layer algorithm sets used by the K2 cube trainer: full OLL (57 cases), full PLL (21), the two-look beginner subsets, and full ZBLL. Each case returns its primary algorithm plus alternates, with sources and finger-trick notes where recorded. Every algorithm in these sets is verified against a cube simulator by the repo's audit script (app/cube/scripts/audit-algorithms.mjs), run before data changes land. Filter by `case_id` or `group`; omit both for the set's structure and levels.

Input Schema

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "set": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Algorithm set id",

    },
    "limit": {
      "type": "number",

    }
  },
  "required": [
    "set"
  ]
}
🟢explain_k2_algorithm

The K2 spaced-repetition engine, described. K2 stores no review dates: each item holds a probability p that halves on a correct answer and doubles on a wrong one, and items are drawn by Monte Carlo rejection sampling, so the pool self-organizes around current weaknesses and expands when it cools. Returns the update rule (including the deliberate hinted-answer exception), the selection and pool-expansion mechanics, the live tuning constants, and notes for porting it. Read this before simulate_k2_session.

Input Schema

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {}
}
🟢simulate_k2_session(terms, mode, steps, starting_level)

Run the real K2 engine over your own items. Give it a list of terms (any strings — your flashcards, cube cases, anything), a study mode, and a sequence of answers, and it returns the p-value trajectory per answer, which items are now mastered, when the pool expanded, and the probability distribution over what K2 would serve next. Use this to drive your own drilling with K2 as the scheduler instead of reimplementing it.

Input Schema

  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "terms": {
      "type": "array",
      "items": {
        "type": "string"

        "listening"
      ],
      "description": "Which dimension is being drilled (each carries its own p)."
    },
    "steps": {
      "type": "array",
      "description": "Answers in order. `outcome` is correct | incorrect | hinted (hinted = answered with the crutch visible; cools more weakly).",
      "items": {
        "type": "object",
        "properties": {
          "term": {
            "type": "string"

    }
  },
  "required": [
    "terms",
    "steps"
  ]
}
🟢get_site_info

What K2 is, which apps it runs, what this server does and does not expose, and every machine-readable surface. Also returns the full capability map — every tool, prompt, and resource — so a client with a stale or tools-only roster can still see the whole surface.
