	Description		Read-only	Idempotent	Open world
`ask_redpanda_question`Search the official Redpanda documentation and return the most relevant sections from it for a user query. Each returned section includes the url and its actual content in markdown. Use this tool for all queries that require Redpanda knowledge. Results are ordered by relevance, with the most relevant result returned first. If you know the user's deployment platform, pass "platform" so results from the other platform's docs are excluded. Note that "platform" filters the sections already retrieved rather than re-running the search, so it can return substantially fewer sections: on a broker-level question where most matches come from the other platform's docs, it can cut a 15-section response to 1 or 2. Omit "platform" if you would rather have more context and judge platform relevance yourself from each section's url. If you know which Redpanda version the user runs, pass "version" (use 'current' for the latest release; its release number is also accepted). Unlike "platform", "version" is applied during retrieval, so it does not shrink the result set: it stops the same page being returned once per indexed version, which is otherwise most of the response. Version-neutral docs (Cloud, Connect, Agentic Data Plane, API reference) are always included. Omitting "version" searches the latest release.

`get_api_reference_content`Retrieve full content of API reference pages by URL. Returns complete endpoint details including parameters, request/response schemas, and examples. Use this after finding pages via list_api_reference_pages or search_api_reference. Pass the URLs from those results directly. Returns up to 10 pages per request. URLs must be from docs.redpanda.com/api/doc/*.	Retrieve full content of API reference pages by URL. Returns complete endpoint details including parameters, request/response schemas, and examples.

`get_bloblang`Look up one Bloblang function (now(), uuid_v4(), env()) or method (.uppercase(), .map_each(), .parse_json()) by name and return its syntax, parameters with types and defaults, description, status, and worked examples with input and output, plus the docs URL. Deterministic: read from the generated Redpanda Connect schema, so a name that does not exist returns found=false with close names. The name may be written as called ('now()', '.uppercase()', 'this.name.uppercase()'). Some names are both (bytes() and .bytes()): without kind, every match is returned.

`get_config_property`Look up one Redpanda configuration property (cluster, broker, or topic) by exact name and return its documented type, default, description, restart and enterprise flags, Redpanda Cloud availability, related properties, and docs URL. Deterministic: it reads the generated property dataset for the requested docs version, so a property that does not exist returns found=false with close-name suggestions instead of a guess, and no LLM or search is involved. Use this before ask_redpanda_question for any question about a specific property's default, type, or availability. Pass platform='cloud' to learn whether the property is supported or editable in Redpanda Cloud. name is one exact identifier, not a search: to find properties by keyword or topic, use list_config_properties.

No	Yes	Not declared	No
`get_connect_component`Look up one Redpanda Connect component (input, output, processor, cache, buffer, rate_limit, metric, tracer, scanner) by name, and type when you know it. Returns its status, summary, description, categories, Redpanda Cloud support, support level and whether it needs an Enterprise Edition license, docs URL, documented example configs, and every configuration field as a row (path, type, default, one-line summary, advanced/optional/deprecated flags). detail='basic' leaves out the description, examples, and advanced fields. Pass field (one path) or fields (several) to get only those fields in full: description, examples, options, child fields. Deterministic and read from the generated component schema for the published Connect release. Without type, a name that exists as only one type is returned; a name that exists as several (aws_kinesis is an input and an output) returns found=false with reason 'ambiguous_type' and the candidates. A name that does not exist returns found=false with close names. For Bloblang functions and methods (now(), .uppercase()), use get_bloblang.

`get_rpk_command`Look up one rpk CLI command by its full name (for example 'rpk topic create') and return its usage, help text, flags with types and defaults, aliases, subcommands, platform and Redpanda Cloud scoping, the plugin and release it ships with, and the docs page URL. Deterministic: it reads the published rpk command tree for the requested docs version (the same data the rpk reference pages are rendered from), so a command that does not exist returns found=false with close-name suggestions instead of a guess, and no LLM or search is involved. The name may omit the leading 'rpk', use command aliases at any level ('rpk topic ls', 'rpk sr schema list'), or be the page name ('rpk-topic-create'). A deprecated command returns its deprecation note and replacement, even when it is hidden and not found. Use this before ask_redpanda_question for any question about a specific rpk command's flags, defaults, or existence in a release. To find commands by keyword, use list_rpk_commands.

`give_feedback`Report a concrete problem to the Redpanda docs team: documentation that is missing, unclear, outdated, or wrong, a docs tool that returned something wrong or unhelpful, or a Redpanda product issue you ran into. Call it when you notice the problem, with enough detail to fix it, including the page URL when you know it. Do not call it to test the tool. It records the report and returns a short confirmation; it does not return documentation. Reports do not include the user's name or email: never include credentials, tokens, or personal data.
