How to read this: tool names here are observed from a live tools/list handshake. The Risk label is a heuristic inferred from the tool name (write/destructive verbs), not from executing the tool — a conservative guess, not a verified capability. We never escalate risk from a description. Found one that's wrong? Tell us — we fix on report.
| Tool | Risk | Side effects | Approval |
|---|---|---|---|
| list_wwdc_years List all available WWDC years with video counts and statistics. Shows which years have content available and how many videos each year contains. | read | false | unknown |
| list_technologies Browse all Apple technologies and frameworks by category. Essential for discovering available frameworks and understanding Apple's technology ecosystem. Use this when: exploring what's available, finding framework identifiers for search_framework_symbols, checking beta status. | read | false | unknown |
| search_framework_symbols Browse and search symbols within a specific Apple framework. Perfect for exploring framework APIs, finding all views/controllers/delegates in a framework, or discovering available types. Use after list_technologies to get framework identifiers. | read | false | unknown |
| find_similar_apis Discover alternative and related APIs. Finds APIs with similar functionality, modern replacements for deprecated APIs, and platform-specific alternatives. Perfect when looking for better ways to implement functionality. | read | false | unknown |
| get_technology_overviews Access comprehensive guides and tutorials for Apple technologies. Includes getting started guides, architectural overviews, best practices, and implementation patterns. Perfect for learning new frameworks or understanding Apple's recommended approaches. | read | false | unknown |
| get_apple_doc_content Get detailed content from a specific Apple Developer Documentation page. Use this after search_apple_docs to get full documentation. Supports enhanced analysis options for comprehensive API understanding. Best for: reading API details, understanding usage, checking availability. | read | false | unknown |
| get_related_apis Analyze API relationships and discover related functionality. Shows inheritance, protocol conformances, and Apple's recommended alternatives. Essential for understanding how APIs work together. Use when: learning API hierarchy, finding protocol requirements, discovering related functionality. | read | false | unknown |
| get_documentation_updates Track latest Apple platform updates, new APIs, and changes. Shows WWDC announcements, framework updates, and release notes. Essential for staying current with Apple development. For detailed WWDC videos, use WWDC-specific tools. | read | false | unknown |
| browse_wwdc_topics List all WWDC topic categories with their IDs. Essential first step before using list_wwdc_videos with topic filtering. Returns topic IDs like "swiftui-ui-frameworks" that can be used in other tools. | read | false | unknown |
| find_related_wwdc_videos Discover WWDC sessions related to a specific video. Finds prerequisite sessions, follow-up content, and thematically similar talks. Essential for creating learning paths. | read | false | unknown |
| list_wwdc_videos Browse WWDC session videos with full offline access to transcripts and code. Shows all available sessions with filtering options. Use this to discover WWDC content, find sessions by topic, or identify videos with code examples. | read | false | unknown |
| get_platform_compatibility Check API availability across Apple platforms and OS versions. Shows minimum deployment targets, deprecations, and platform-specific features. Critical for cross-platform development. Use when: planning app requirements, checking API availability, finding platform alternatives. | read | false | unknown |
| search_apple_docs Search Apple Developer Documentation for APIs, frameworks, guides, and samples. Best for finding specific APIs, classes, or methods. For browsing sample code projects, use get_sample_code. For WWDC videos, use the dedicated WWDC tools (list_wwdc_videos, search_wwdc_content). | read | false | unknown |
| get_wwdc_video Access complete WWDC session content including full transcript, code examples, and resources. Use after finding videos with list_wwdc_videos or search_wwdc_content. Provides offline access to entire session content. | read | false | unknown |
| resolve_references_batch Deep dive into all types and APIs referenced in a documentation page. Resolves all mentioned types, methods, and properties to understand dependencies. Use when: analyzing complex APIs, understanding type requirements, exploring API ecosystems. | unknown | unknown | unknown |
| get_wwdc_code_examples Browse all code examples from WWDC sessions. Perfect for finding implementation patterns, seeing new API usage, or learning by example. Each result includes the code and its session context. | read | false | unknown |
| get_sample_code Browse complete sample projects from Apple. Full working examples demonstrating best practices and implementation patterns. Different from search_apple_docs which returns code snippets. Use for learning by example. | read | false | unknown |
| search_wwdc_content Full-text search across all WWDC video transcripts and code examples. Find specific discussions, API mentions, or implementation examples. More powerful than list_wwdc_videos for finding specific content. | read | false | unknown |
