  What is shaping the signed-in reader's Siftivo recommendations. Each entry is a book, author, series, reader, genre, topic or vibe, whether it pulls recommendations toward it or away from it, and why it counts: reading it now, finished it on a date, rated it, pinned it as a favorite, follows them, left that genre out. Entries the reader has switched off are listed by name under muted, and discovery style is how far from their usual taste they like to range, per fiction and nonfiction. It is the same profile the app's own recommendations are built from.

  The signed-in reader's taste: the books, authors, series, genres and moods they love, what they avoid or quit, why each one counts, and how far from their usual taste they like to range. A recommendation for this reader rests on it, so it suits "what should I read next", "recommend me a book", "something I would like" and "what kind of books do I like" when no book or mood is named. The strongest 40 entries come back by default, and limit raises that. Needs a linked Siftivo account. It is the same profile the app's own recommendations use.

• 2026-10-14remove_from_librarychangeddescription
  before

  Take a book off the signed-in reader's shelves entirely, discarding its shelf, progress and notes. The reader's rating for the book stays. This is removal rather than a shelf change: add_to_library with a new readingStatus moves a book between shelves instead.

  Take a book off the signed-in reader's shelves entirely, discarding its shelf, progress and notes. The reader's rating for the book stays. Suits "take X off my shelves" and "remove X from my list".

• 2026-10-14get_my_bookchangeddescription, input schemameaning changed
  before

  Whether the signed-in reader has this book on a shelf, and if so which shelf, their rating and how far through they are. Answers "have I read this?" without pulling the whole library.

  after · 24% of words in common

  Which of up to 25 books the signed-in reader already has on a shelf, and for each one the shelf, their rating and their progress. Takes titles ("Title by Author" resolves best) or workIds. Suits "have I read X", "which of these have I read" and checking a list of book suggestions against what the reader has already read. Titles not in the catalog come back under unmatched. Needs a linked Siftivo account.

• 2026-10-14add_to_librarychangeddescription
  before

  Put a book on one of the signed-in reader's shelves, move it to a different shelf, rate it, or record how far through it they are. The workId is one returned by search_books, get_book or recommend_from_titles. "Finished it, four and a half stars" is one call with readingStatus FINISHED and rating 4.5. Each field given replaces what the reader had there before, so send a rating or a note only when they asked for that one to change. Omitting readingStatus leaves the book on the shelf it is already on.

  after · 61% of words in common

  Log reading on the signed-in reader's Siftivo shelves: add a book to want to read (NOT_STARTED), mark it READING, FINISHED or DNF, rate it, or record progress.

• 2026-10-14recommend_from_titleschangeddescription
  before

  Give Siftivo a few books someone liked, by title, and get books like them. Titles are resolved against the catalog first; anything that does not resolve is reported back rather than guessed at.
