Explicit Formula — Second Brain tools (4)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsRead from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.
list_second_brainList the notes the user has allowed (metadata only: path, title, last-modified date \u2014 no content). Newest first, up to 200. Optional folder filter. Use it to browse before reading.
read_second_brain_noteRead a single note by its vault path (as returned by search or list). Returns up to 8000 characters per call; when truncated, call again with the offset the result gives you. Only notes inside the user's allowed folders can be read.
save_to_second_brainSave a NEW note into the user's second brain \u2014 only when the user asks to keep something. Writes only into their write-back folder (never elsewhere), never overwrites, and wikilinks the source notes you pass \u2014 so the note appears in their Obsidian graph connected to the knowledge it used. Pass the vault paths you actually drew from as sources.
search_second_brainSearch the user's own notes for context relevant to the task. Returns up to 6 short snippets (\u22642400 chars total) chosen by a deterministic local scorer (their words \xD7 their note titles/headings \xD7 recency), each labeled with its source note path \u2014 cite those paths. Every snippet returned is disclosed to the user. Use plain topical words (as the user would title a note), not full sen

RPCS-1 SDK — AI Agent Tuner
<!-- mcp-name: io.github.travisbergen2/rpcs1-agent-tuner -->
Start with the free tuner: find your AI agent’s likely failure mode, get runtime settings to try, and validate them with a harder case.
RPCS-1 helps teams make agent settings deliberate rather than guessed. Describe the task, change rate, predictability, stakes, relevant context horizon, and commitment style; it returns a five-primitive profile, a runtime recommendation, and a next test. The suite also includes SendRight for catching ambiguous prompts before handoff and the Translation Bridge for profile-aware communication rendering.

The Matching Principle
The SDK implements Pred-09-5 from IMM Paper 9:
Stable receivers in an environment with entropy H satisfy TI ~ 1/H.
High-entropy environments → short attention windows (TI ~ 10). Low-entropy environments → long attention windows (TI ~ 90).
Every parameter recommendation traces back to this principle or the basin stability geometry (oscillation/overload/freeze boundary conditions).
