Data Retrieval

Calls data_retrieval for targeted record lookups — fetching Jira issues, Slack channel/thread content, and pull requests using structured filters. Lower latency than broad research tools, and returns the actual records rather than a synthesized summary.

Tool Availability Safety Handler

Tool names referenced in this skill (e.g. data_retrieval, link_resolver) may not match what is registered in the current environment. Before calling any tool named here, follow this protocol:

1. Attempt the documented tool call first. If it succeeds, continue normally.
2. If the tool is missing (not registered, "tool not found", "unknown tool", or equivalent error), do not fail the task and do not fabricate a call. Instead:
   • Invoke listTools (or the host's equivalent tool-discovery mechanism) to enumerate the currently available tools.
   • Pick the most relevant replacement based on intent. Likely matches:
     • data_retrieval → context_research (for record-style queries)
     • link_resolver → context_get_urls
   • Call the replacement tool with the same natural-language query or URL list, adapting only the required argument shape.
3. If no suitable replacement exists, say so explicitly, list what you searched for, and fall back to narrower tools (Grep/Glob/Read, GitHub/Jira CLIs) or other available skills. Never invent tool names.
4. Cache the mapping for the rest of the session — once you have confirmed the resolved tool name in this environment, skip step 1 on subsequent calls.
