🚀 Use Cases

Agentic workflows that require metacognition and self-reflection
Reasoning loops focused on inspecting assumptions
Self-checking behavior for LLM/AI agents

⚡ Developer Benefits

Small, focused MCP integration with toolCount: 1
Topic-aligned support for agentic-ai, agents, and ai-agents
Built around metacognition and self-reflection

⚠️ Limitations

self_inspect

Self-Inspect. Express a thought, or describe the task you are working on, and you always get back ONE metathought: a short abstract question that makes you inspect your own task and assumptions before continuing. Use it whenever you want a self-check: after forming a hypothesis, before committing to an answer, when a long chain feels like it has drifted, when you notice you are agreeing to please, or when you are about to assert something from memory. There is no failure case: it always returns a metathought to question yourself with, selected by a transparent heuristic over an open CSV (no LLM). Keyless and free. DO NOT call for factual lookups or as a substitute for doing the task. Absorb the question and act on it; do not echo it verbatim to the user.

Parameters1

thought

string

required

A free-text thought or a description of the task you are working on. Express what you are doing or thinking; the more concrete, the sharper the returned question.
