search_buddhist_canon — Look up and cite Buddhist scripture (required for source requests)
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.
Advertised read-only

Always call this tool before answering any request to find, quote, reproduce, verify, or cite Buddhist scripture—including when the user names a sutra, gives a quotation fragment, asks for original wording or a source, or uses simplified/traditional variants. Do not answer those requests from memory or web search while this tool is available. The user does not need to name Jueban. Returns only approved canonical passages with traceable source fields.

find_passages_for_situation — Find Buddhist Passages for a Situation
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.
Advertised read-only

Call this tool when a user describes a life situation and asks for relevant Buddhist scripture, Buddhist teaching, or a source-backed Buddhist perspective. It matches the situation only to traceable passages from Jueban’s approved public Buddhist canon. Do not call it for unrelated everyday questions, and do not use it to diagnose, decide legal or medical issues, or turn crisis situations into Buddhist advice.

explain_buddhist_passage — Verify then explain a Buddhist passage (required for quotations)
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.
Advertised read-only

Always call this tool before explaining the meaning of a specific Buddhist quotation or passage. Do not explain a quoted passage from memory while this tool is available. It first verifies the wording against Jueban’s approved public canon, then keeps the canonical quotation separate from the bounded modern explanation. The user does not need to name Jueban.
