### Tool changes

- 2026-11-11 `who_read_verse` changed (description) **meaning changed**
  - before: Find who on the shelf (Church Fathers, rabbis, mystics, reformers, commentators, philosophers) quotes a given Bible verse, with the quotation and a link.
  - after: Find who on the shelf (Church Fathers, rabbis, mystics, reformers, commentators, philosophers) quotes a given Bible verse, with the quotation and a link. So far only 42 well-known verses are indexed (Genesis 1:1, Psalm 23:1, Isaiah 53:5, John 1:1, John 3:16, Romans 1:17 ...); "indexed": false means the verse is not on that list, not that nobody quotes it.
- 2026-11-10 `room` changed (inputSchema)
- 2026-11-10 `read_work` changed (description)
  - before: Read a work from the shelf. Without a section: its table of contents (with paragraph counts). With a section: that section's text, original and translation row by row, up to ~24k characters; if truncated, call again with paragraph = next_paragraph to read on. With find: every row in the work (or in one section) containing that text, accent- and breathing-insensitive (e.g. find "αλοω κατα ποντον" or "worse than a brother"), with section and paragraph to read it.
