Explain code or text using local AI via Cercano. Returns a clear explanation of what the code does, its key interfaces, and data flow. Use this to understand unfamiliar code, complex algorithms, or dense documentation locally before deciding what context to send to the cloud.

Explain code or text using local AI inference.
Tool name: cercano_explain
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|-----------|------|----------|-------------|
| text | string | No* | Code or text to explain. Provide either text or file_path. |
| file_path | string | No* | Path to a file to read and explain. Provide either text or file_path. |
*One of text or file_path is required.
Returns an explanation covering:
Explain code inline:
{
"text": "func (s *Server) handleLocal(ctx context.Context, request *gomcp.CallToolRequest, args LocalRequest) (*gomcp.CallToolResult, any, error) { ... }"
}
Explain a file:
{
"file_path": "/project/internal/agent/router.go"
}
devops
Summarize text or files using local AI via Cercano without sending content to the cloud. Supports brief, medium, and detailed summary lengths.
devops
Submit cloud token usage data to Cercano (opt-in). This sends data, not a report — use cercano_stats to view usage. Helps track cloud tokens alongside local inference for accurate local-vs-cloud comparison.
tools
View Cercano usage statistics and cloud token savings. Shows total requests, tokens processed locally, cloud tokens reported by the host, percentage kept local, and breakdowns by tool, model, and day.
development
Research a question using DuckDuckGo search and local AI analysis. Crafts search queries, fetches top results, and synthesizes a sourced answer — all locally.
