When you connect an AI assistant to Trace.Space through the MCP server, the assistant sees the 30 tools listed here. It picks the tools itself from your request; you do not call them by name. Knowing what exists helps you phrase requests and judge what the assistant is about to do.
Every tool runs as you. The assistant can only see what you can see, and a tool marked writes succeeds only where you have edit access. Tools without that mark only read. For connecting an assistant, see MCP server setup.
Items
create_item- writes. Creates one item, optionally under a parent, at a position, and with an item type.add_items_to_itemlist- writes. Appends rows to an item-list field of an item.

What the tools cannot do
There are no tools for creating or deleting traces directly, deleting items, managing users or groups, or changing organization settings. Parent and child links come from where an item is created or moved, and test-step links from add_items_to_itemlist; anything else still needs the app or the REST API. See API and automation overview.
