Docs Introduction to Tidy
Docs for AI agents
How agents read these docs. llms.txt, Markdown pages, the JSON index, and the docs tools inside Tidy and over MCP.
These docs are written for people and for AI agents. An agent helping someone use Tidy should read them instead of guessing how a feature works.
Files for agents
| File | What it is |
|---|---|
| /tidy/docs/llms.txt | An index of every page with a one-line description, in the llms.txt format |
| /tidy/docs/llms-full.txt | Every page in one Markdown file |
/tidy/docs/<page>.md | Any page as Markdown. Add .md to the page address. |
/tidy/docs/search-index.json | Every page's title, section, headings, description, links and full Markdown body |
Each HTML page also links its Markdown copy with <link rel="alternate" type="text/markdown">.
Inside Tidy and over MCP
The Tidy agent and any agent connected over MCP have two docs tools:
| Tool | Use it to |
|---|---|
search_tidy_docs | Find the pages that answer a question. Returns titles, links and short matching passages. |
read_tidy_doc | Read one page in full by its slug, such as features/rfis |
Neither tool reads or changes your company's data, so they are always allowed.
Guidance for agents
- Search the docs before explaining how a feature works or giving steps. Quote the button and page names the docs use.
- Link the user to the page you used.
- When the docs say a feature is not available, say so. Do not invent a workaround inside Tidy.
- Use
resolve_agent_tokenwhen the user pastes a token such asBID-7K3P9QX2. See Agent tokens. - Changes need the user's permission. Sending email, sending proposals and submitting bids stay with a person.
