context manual

context_manual Read the human/agent-owned manual inputs (target pages, site or niche description, offering, known assets, competitors) that form the no-Google floor of the context. Manual entries are judgment: they carry a manual source label, can be wrong, have no observation date, and never migrate into tool-owned fact rows.

Repository-local stdio MCP only. This tool is absent from hosted MCP and HTTP. It reads local context without starting a cloud job.

Setup and request

Start the local context host with an explicit repository root. Paths are restricted to that root, including symlink resolution.

Returned result

`inputs[].field`	string	Required	Manual input section. values: “target_pages”, “site_description”, “offering”, “assets”, “competitors”
`inputs[].value`	string	Required	Human or agent-authored manual value.
`inputs[].source`	string	Required	Manual source label. must equal “manual”
`pages`	array	Optional	Manually nominated pages.
`pages[].page`	string	Required	Nominated page URL.
`pages[].nominated_by`	array	Required	manual or gsc_clicks nomination sources.
`pages[].observation`	null	Required	No observation is fabricated from manual input.
`pages[].inference`	null	Required	Reserved for separately authored judgment; always null here.
`pages[].recommendation`	null	Required	Recommendations belong to campaign briefs; always null here.
`error`	string	Optional	Missing-file or parse diagnostic; the local MCP result sets isError.

Missing manual.md returns an error object. Manual nominations carry null observation, inference and recommendation fields; they are not search observations. Download result schema.

Result and recovery

The host returns JSON in both structuredContent and text content. The local context reference describes each result, file ownership and recovery. Start/end dates must be supplied together. Thrown input or file failures return isError: true. Missing manual/profile files and unresolved citations also flag an error. Inspect returned connection states separately: revoked or unavailable access can be result data. Manual-only configuration is valid. See local context, CLI context commands and schema conventions.
