Tools grouped from the project's README - what Ratatosk MCP lets an agent do.

5 tools - e.g. The incremental change feed, oldest-analyzed first. Filter by project, family, or bucket; page with the since cursor to keep a local copy in sync; Every release in which one matter appeared. The same…

list_changes · get_matter · get_release · list_releases · list_projects

Check

1 tool - e.g. Takes the component versions you run and returns the changes on your upgrade path, split by bucket: action_required applies to everyone, check_config only if it

check_stack

Changes

1 tool - e.g. Reverse lookup: every change touching one exact identifier - such as a CVE id, CRD, feature gate, flag, config field, or dependency

changes_by_entity
