  description: 'A public HTTP API of deterministic tools for the work a language model cannot do reliably by reasoning: knowing the current time in any timezone and whether an instant falls inside a window, exact arithmetic, hashing and signature verification, canonicalizing and content-addressing JSON, repairing malformed JSON and pinpointing where it broke, querying and diffing structured data, parsing CSV correctly, converting units, colours and currencies at live ECB rates, testing regular expressions…'

  /v1/text/offset:
    get:
      operationId: text_offset_get
      summary: 'Convert between text positions: byte offset, UTF-16 index, code point…'
      description: One position in a string has at least five different numbers depending on who is counting. A UTF-8 byte offset, a UTF-16 code unit index (what JavaScript and LSP use), a code point index (what Python uses), a grapheme index (what a human means by 'the third character'), and a line/column pair. An emoji is one grapheme, two code units and four bytes; a flag is one grapheme and eight bytes. Models are measurably poor at character-level positions — benchmark accuracy around 43% — and worse when the queried character sits inside a long token. This converts between all of them exactly, so an edit lands where it was meant to.

      summary: Quote a value safely for a shell, and report what would have gone wrong unquoted
      description: Interpolating a value into a command line is the most common way an agent turns a correct plan into the wrong action. Adding one unescaped parser between the model and the shell has been measured to drop task success by 55 to 73 percentage points, and the damage is usually invisible because the command still runs — just not on what was intended. This applies the quoting rules for the named shell and, separately, names every hazard the raw value contained, so the caller learns which construct was dangerous rather than only receiving an escaped string.
