List all 16 suites in the SaferAgenticAI framework (9 drivers + 7 inhibitors) with subgoal counts and titles. Call this first to orient.

Retrieve one subgoal (framework normative content + Pattern layer guidance) by pattern_id (e.g., 'D3::idx2::sandboxing') or display_id (e.g., 'D3.2'). display_id may resolve to multiple subgoals — underlined variants share display_ids.

List subgoals matching filters (suite_id, suite_type, content_type, min_confidence, missing_pattern_only). Results capped by limit (default 50, max 100).

Field-weighted keyword search across the framework. Substring match on lowercased terms; field weights: title 10x, summary 4x, SFR text 3x, description 2x, pattern body 1x. `matched_in` reports the highest-weighted field that matched. No semantic / embedding search — known limitation, see /mcp.html. Use verbosity='compact' to drop snippets and confidence flags (~70% smaller payload) when triaging.

Return outgoing adjacencies for a pattern. `explicit_cross_references` are author-asserted (each pattern's `cross_references` YAML field). `inferred_adjacent` (when include_inferred=true) currently returns *same-suite siblings only* — it does not do semantic similarity. Treat inferred entries as 'neighbours worth scanning,' not as endorsed dependencies.

Resolve a loose reference (partial id, display_id, slug fragment, or title keyword) to canonical pattern_id(s). Call this when you have a rough reference and need the exact id before calling get_requirement. Always returns candidates — never 'not found'.

Given a natural-language task description (e.g., 'I'm building a tool-using agent that runs shell commands'), return the most relevant patterns grouped by suite. Use this as a starting point for any cross-cutting design question; then follow up with get_requirement on specific pattern_ids. Defaults to verbosity='compact' (cheap triage); pass 'full' to inline snippets and confidence flags.

Return patterns that have not been human-reviewed yet (no reviewed_by). Sorted low-confidence first, then needs_human_review flagged, then alpha. Use during Phase 3 review to pick the next pattern to examine.

Coverage stats: total patterns, reviewed %, per-suite and per-confidence breakdown. Surfaces load-time validation issue count.

Return patterns that reference the given pattern_id in their cross_references. Complement to get_cross_references (outgoing); this shows incoming. Use to find all consumers of a given pattern.

List operational heuristics distilled from production agentic AI deployment (Claude Code, Rewind). These are cross-cutting safety principles discovered through building and operating AI agents, mapped to framework suites. Optional filters: suite_id (heuristics relevant to a specific suite), query (keyword search across titles and principles). Separate from the normative pattern layer — different category of knowledge.

Retrieve a single operational heuristic by id (e.g., 'OH::geoffrey-pattern'). Returns the full entry: principle, framework mapping, evidence sources from production deployment, design patterns, anti-patterns, and discovery narrative.

Overview

What is Safer Agentic AI MCP?

Safer Agentic AI MCP brings the Safer Agentic AI safety framework to coding assistants over the Model Context Protocol. It serves 238 normative implementation patterns and 14 operational heuristics across 16 safety suites (9 Drivers + 7 Inhibitors) through 12 read-only tools.

How to use Safer Agentic AI MCP?

Install the package with uvx saferagenticai-mcp or pipx install saferagenticai-mcp, then add a configuration entry to your MCP client. The tools allow you to search patterns, resolve requirements, map a task to relevant safety guidance, and follow cross‑references.
