search_keyword

Performs keyword search using trigram fuzzy matching with cross-language alignment across Pāli and English.

Combines keyword and semantic search through Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF) for highest precision.

Fetches sutta content by ID (e.g. mn1, pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1, patthana1.1) and returns the text.

get_reference

Generates properly formatted academic citations for a given sutta or text reference.

compare_translations

Views and compares renderings across different translations, aligned at the segment level.

lookup_dictionary

Looks up a Pāli word in the built-in dictionary of 20,000+ entries (P. A. Payutto, PTS, DPPN).
