# PI-Revit tool index Use this index to choose a capability, then read only the relevant manual. The tables below are generated from the tool contracts and the documentation manifest. They list every public tool in this package, but that inventory is not a limit on future tools. The current public schema determines accepted inputs; a manual is explanatory guidance. Use [find_revit_tools](tools/find_revit_tools.md) to search with English task words; translate a request written in another language first. With its default `scope: "available"`, it finds registered capabilities and activates returned tools. `scope: "documentation"` returns packaged manuals without contacting Revit or activating tools. Results carry each tool's declared **limits with alternatives**, its **verification** method and its **contract compatibility** with the selected bridge. A manual's presence does not establish that a selected bridge advertises the tool. A tool that does not cover a request is not evidence that the request is impossible. Follow its declared alternative. When nothing dedicated fits, check [search_api_docs](tools/search_api_docs.md), then use [execute_csharp](tools/execute_csharp.md) within the requested scope. Read [execution rules](execution-rules.md) for model work, [operation recovery](operation-recovery.md) for uncertain outcomes, and [visual verification](visual-verification.md) for visible changes. Bridge tools include the transport-added `_operation_id`. Document guards and action requirements can be added beyond the tool class's own declared inputs. Use the final registered schema and manual together. ## Connection, discovery, and local utilities | Manual | Use | Tier | Verify | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [find_revit_tools](tools/find_revit_tools.md) | Discover tools, activate capabilities, or find packaged documentation. | native | none | | [get_revit_operation](tools/get_revit_operation.md) | Inspect an original operation receipt after uncertain results. | native | | | [manage_revit_instances](tools/manage_revit_instances.md) | List and select local Revit bridge sessions. | native | reread | | [manage_revit_scripts](tools/manage_revit_scripts.md) | Save, inspect and run exact versions of reusable scripts. | native | reread | | [ping](tools/ping.md) | Check Revit bridge availability and versions. | native | | | [read_revit_result](tools/read_revit_result.md) | Read saved large results in bounded fragments. | native | | ##
