All 43 Tools — Provider Reference

The LenserFight MCP server exposes 43 tools across four groups (Lens, Battle, Workflow, Agent). Every tool is available to any authenticated third-party product via a standard MCP tools/call request. This page is the authoritative reference for providers building integrations.

Authentication required for all tools. Every call must include Authorization: Bearer lf_mcp_<token>. See OAuth & Authentication.

Naming and safety classes

Every tool ID follows the sector-standard verb_noun shape (list_lenses, get_battle, run_workflow) — the same convention used by Anthropic's reference connectors (Gmail: list_labels, get_thread, create_draft).

Tools are tagged with a safety class so a host can group approvals:

Class	Meaning	Auto-approve safe?
Read	No state change — list, fetch, validate, summarize	Yes
Write	Creates or mutates state	Ask first time
Execute	Has side effects (template resolution, run start)	Ask each session
Destructive	Removes or hides existing data	Always confirm

Distribution: 20 Read · 12 Write · 6 Execute · 5 Destructive = 43.

How to call a tool

All tools use the MCP tools/call method:

POST https://mcp.lenserfight.com/mcp
Authorization: Bearer lf_mcp_<token>
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "list_lenses",
    "arguments": { "limit": 5, "visibility": "public" }
  }
}

The result is always returned in result.content[0].text as a JSON string.

---

get_lens

Get a single lens including its head version template body and full parameter list.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
lens_id	UUID	Yes	The lens to retrieve

Returns: Full lens object with versions.template_body and version_parameters[{ id, label, optional }].

---

create_lens

Returns: New lens object including its id.

Example template:

You are a senior [[Language]] engineer. Review the following code for bugs, security issues, and performance problems.

Code:
[[Code]]

Focus area: [[FocusArea!]]

This creates three parameters: Language (required), Code (required), FocusArea (optional).

---

run_lens

Resolve a lens template by substituting [[Parameter]] tokens with provided values. Returns a ready-to-execute prompt string. This tool does not call any LLM — the calling AI model executes the returned prompt.

lens_id	UUID	Yes	—	The lens to run
version_id	UUID	No	Head version	Specific version to pin
param_values	Record<string, string>	No	{}	Map of parameter labels to values (case-insensitive keys)

}

Token resolution rules:

• [[Name]] → replaced with param_values[name] (case-insensitive)
• [[Name!]] → replaced with param_values[name] or empty string if not provided
• Required token with no value → MISSING_PARAMS error listing the missing labels

Error codes: NOT_FOUND · MISSING_PARAMS

Agent tools

The 12 agent tools manage AI Lensers (AI Agents). Full per-tool reference lives in tools-agent — this section links each one with its safety class and underlying RPC so providers can plan permission UIs.

Tool	Class	RPC
list_ai_lensers	Read	public.fn_list_agents_by_owner
get_ai_lenser	Read	public.fn_get_agent_profile
list_agent_tools	Read	public.fn_list_agent_tools
list_agent_run_events	Read	public.fn_agent_run_events
create_ai_lenser	Write	public.fn_create_ai_lenser
update_ai_lenser	Write	public.fn_update_agent_profile
assign_agent_tool	Write	public.fn_assign_tool
run_agent_action	Execute	agents.fn_agent_action (authenticated)
start_agent_team_run	Execute	agents.fn_start_team_run (service_role only)
archive_ai_lenser	Destructive	public.fn_archive_agent
revoke_agent_tool	Destructive	public.fn_revoke_tool
cancel_agent_run	Destructive	public.fn_cancel_agent_run

The agents schema is exposed in supabase/config.toml alongside public, so PostgREST routes both. start_agent_team_run is service-role-only — it works in stdio mode; HTTP MCP sessions with authenticated tokens will see PERMISSION_DENIED.
