How to Contribute
1. Use the repository skills to
leverage coding agents to
build
2. Assert quality by testing
locally
3. Push your contribution and
we will review it

MCP New Features:
16
● 7 new tools - all about context so that LLM answers with richer context
● get_user_context: who is calling: teams, roles, domains, owned assets,
governance gaps.
● get_asset_context: one call: schema, keys, join hints, glossary, articles, metrics,
lineage, DQ
● find_context: ask a business question, get the definitions and the assets they point
to
● search_company_context: semantic search over your own runbooks, FAQs and
policies
● create_context_memory: agents remember preferences and instructions across
conversations
● get_knowledge_content: progressive disclosure: excerpts by default, full text on
demand

MCP Improvement & fixes:
17
● root_cause_analysis now returns 3-5 times smaller payload, after we stopped
embedding raw vectors in lineage nodes
● Lineage graphs are an order of magnitude smaller. Nodes fold into edges, duplicates
collapse, column lineage is opt-in
● Oversized results return fewer whole items and cursor, so content is never truncated
● Wide tables fully supported: get_entity_details pages through columns and returns
descriptions and DDL in full.
● Per-entity permissions enforced on reads: tag, owner and domain based Deny rules
now apply to get_entity_details.
● Stricter write authorization: overwriting an existing entity through a create_* tool now
requires EDIT_ALL, not just create rights.
● Clearer search behavior: semantic_search reports unsupported filters as errors, and
metric results include their expression.
