What this server can do
4 functions, named and described by the server itself. Parameter names are shown because they say more about what a function does than its name usually does.
browse_csi_sections(level, section, division)- Browse CSI MasterFormat building product categories. No parameters: list all divisions (e.g., "07 - Thermal and Moisture Protection"). Division only: list all entries under that division. Division + level: filter by hierarchy depth: Level 1 = Groups (e.g., 07 10 00 Dampproofing and Waterproofing) Level 2 = Sections (e.g., 07 21 00 Thermal Insulation) Level 3 = Narrowscope (e.g., 07 21 13 Board Insulation) Add section to drill into a specific parent (e.g., division "07", level 2, section "072000").

Signals
These are separate measurements of different things. They are deliberately not combined into one score, because a popularity number that mixes website traffic with saves and stars cannot be checked or acted on.
