A filter value the forge cannot resolve is DISCARDED, not rejected, so a typo does not narrow the result set -- it returns the unfiltered one. That does not waste a query, it inverts the answer: "is anything open in this milestone" comes back as every open issue and reads as yes, and a duplicate check gets a list that never narrowed. `list` now resolves both before querying. Labels reuse the write side's resolver; the ids are discarded because this endpoint filters by name, so resolution here is a spell-check rather than a lookup -- reusing it keeps the message identical to the one the write side has always produced. Milestones accept a title or an id and are checked against the ALL-state set: filtering on a closed milestone is a normal query, and validating against open-only would reject exactly the retrospective ones. Both fetchers paginate. `repo_labels` asked for one page of 100 and treated it as the population -- the inverse of the trailer bug, same root: a valid label past the cut fails to resolve, and the error then prints an "available labels" list that is itself truncated, so the message argues for the typo. `--assignee` / `--author` stay unvalidated on purpose: someone who has left still legitimately appears on old issues, so a login that is not a current member is not necessarily a typo. Also drops the docs paragraph claiming unknown labels are silently dropped on the write side; that has not been true since the resolver landed. |

Tools
hivectl is your tool — the operator's own host CLI. Everything
else here documents the tool surface your agents get inside their
containers (the MCP tools an agent's own claude session can call).
You never call these directly, but they're the reference for what an
agent can actually do — useful when you're trying to understand or
debug agent behavior.
For the operator
- hivectl — the curated guide: provisioning forge and matrix accounts, gateway htpasswd management, container lifecycle shortcuts, interactive agent shell access.
- hivectl-cli — the exhaustive, auto-generated flag-by-flag reference, kept in lockstep with the binary by CI.
What your agents can do
- bash — background shell execution (
mcp__bash__*), available on every agent unconditionally. - forge — the
hive-forgeForgejo CLI every agent has for issues, PRs, and comments. Not an MCP tool — a binary agents shell out to instead of ad-hoc curl. - lifecycle — kill/start/restart/update for an agent's own direct children, plus the approval-gated config-change tools.
- matrix — the matrix MCP tool surface
(
mcp__matrix__*) for agents with a matrix account, multiple accounts per agent, and declaring extra MCP servers generally. - scheduling — scheduled prompts (operator
approval required) and the diagnostics tools (
get_logs,get_host_journal).
