Should I use this
Quality & Safety
A
Based on automated analysis of tool definitions and protocol compliance.
Context Cost
~480Tokens (tool definitions)
~2.2 KBTypical response size
Minimal attention impact (0.38% of 128k context)
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.

🟢get(path)
Show documentation for a Rust item by path.
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"path": {
"description": "Item path, e.g. `serde::Deserialize` or `std::vec::Vec`. A crate segment\nmay carry an `@`-suffixed semver requirement (not an exact version):\n`tokio@1::runtime::Runtime` serves the newest 1.x, while `tokio@=1.40`\npins an exact release.",
"type": "string"
}
},
"required": [
"path"
],
"examples": [
{
"description": "Look up a trait",
"path": "serde::Deserialize"
}
]
}🟢search(crate, query)
Search for items within a crate's documentation, or — without a crate — discover which crate to use.
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"crate": {
"description": "Crate to search within, optionally with an `@`-suffixed semver\nrequirement (not an exact version): `serde`, `tokio@1` (newest 1.x), or\n`tokio@=1.40` to pin an exact release.\n\n**Omit only to discover which crate to use.** With `crate`, the search\nruns over that crate's full documentation — item names and prose.\nWithout it, it searches a different, much shallower dataset: crates.io\ncrate names, descriptions, and declared keywords. It returns crates,\nnot items, and cannot see any crate's actual documentation. If you\nalready know the crate name, always pass it.",
"type": "string"
},
"query": {
"description": "Search query — one or more complete words. With `crate`, matched\nagainst item names and documentation prose; without it, against crate\nnames, descriptions, and declared keywords.",
"type": "string"
}
},
"required": [
"query"
],
"examples": [
{
"crate": "serde",
"description": "Find deserialization items in serde",
"query": "deserialize"
},
{
"description": "Discover which crate to use for MQTT",
"query": "mqtt client"
}
]
