Tools (3)
🟢connect(session)
Connect to the HenryKnows page the person is watching (turns its light green) and get the session to pass on later calls. Call this first if the person gave you a session code; otherwise it is optional — ask_henry and search_sources connect too.
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"session": {
"type": "string",
"pattern": "^[a-f0-9]{64}$",
"description": "The HenryKnows session from an earlier result, or the session code the person gave you. Omit to start a new one."
}
},
"additionalProperties": false
}🟢ask_henry(question, audience, session)
Ask HenryKnows a question about F-1/J-1 student immigration, SEVIS, OPT, CPT or related rules and get a cited answer. Ask in the person's own terms; do not add identifiers. Answers take 10–40 seconds.

}🟢search_sources(query, limit, session)
