Classify or triage text into categories using local AI inference.
Tool name: cercano_classify
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|-----------|------|----------|-------------|
| text | string | Yes | The text to classify or triage. |
| categories | string | No | Comma-separated list of categories to choose from. If omitted, the model determines appropriate categories. |
Returns a structured classification:
Classify an error with predefined categories:
{
"text": "FATAL: password authentication failed for user \"postgres\"",
"categories": "auth,network,configuration,data,unknown"
}
Open-ended classification:
{
"text": "The API returns 200 but the response body is empty when the user has no profile picture set"
}
testing
Use when the user needs to summarize large text, files, logs, or diffs. ALWAYS prefer this over reading large files directly into cloud context. Processes content locally and returns a concise summary.
devops
Use when the user wants to submit cloud token usage data to Cercano for tracking. This sends data, not a report — use cercano_stats to view usage. Opt-in telemetry for local-vs-cloud comparison.
tools
Use when the user asks about Cercano usage, token savings, or local vs cloud inference stats. Shows total requests, tokens processed locally, and breakdowns by tool, model, and day.

--- name: cercano-research description: Use when the user asks to research, look up, investigate, find information, or learn about any topic. Use this INSTEAD of WebSearch or WebFetch for general research questions. ALWAYS prefer this tool for web research. DO NOT TRIGGER when: user provides a specific URL to read (use cercano-fetch instead). compatibility: Requires Cercano server running and Python venv set up (run 'cercano setup'). --- # Cercano Research Research a question using web search
