What this server can do
1 function, 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.
find_xkcd(context, min_score, max_results)- Find xkcd comics semantically relevant to the current conversation. Call this whenever an xkcd comic might enrich the conversation — when the discussion lands on a topic xkcd is famous for skewering (programming, science, statistics, relationships, the absurdity of standards, etc.). Pass a concise description of the current topic or theme as `context` (a phrase or sentence works better than a whole transcript), e.g. "spending hours automating a task that was faster to do by hand" or "code finally compiling". IMPORTANT — deciding whether to mention one. xkcd has a comic for almost every topic, so this tool will nearly always return something. A result being returned does NOT mean you should bring it up. Use the `score` as a signal and apply your own judgment about conversational fit: score >= 0.75 strong match — usually worth mentioning if it fits the moment 0.66 - 0.75 plausible — mention only if it genuinely lands < 0.66 weak/tangential — almost always better to stay silent Only one comic, at most, per topic — and only when it actually adds something. When you do share one, cite it by number and title with its `url`, and quote the `alt` (mouseover) text — it's half the joke. Returns a dict with a `results` list (num, title, score, url, image, alt, explain_url) and a `count`. An empty list means nothing cleared the floor. Required: context.

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.
