Analysis of existing MCP tools for timeline search and session orientation
Output
Timeline MCP Tools Assessment
1. Timeline Search Tool
| Tool | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
konui_search_turn |
Partial | Searches within a single turn only. Requires requestId. |
konui_get_turn_history |
Partial | Lists recent turns with timing/tokens, but no search capability. |
konui_list_system_events |
Exists | Lists service restarts, account switches, alerts. |
❌ Gap: No tool to search across ALL kontasks/turns by keyword.
e.g., "find all kontasks mentioning 'authentication'" is not possible.
2. Recent Activity for Session Orientation
| Tool | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
konui_get_recent_kontasks |
Exists | Returns 1-5 kontasks with summaries. Max 5. |
konui_get_turn_context |
Exists | Full context: kontasks, flows, backlog, approved tasks. |
❌ Gap:
konui_get_recent_kontasks maxes out at 5 items.
You asked for 10 activities - would need to increase the limit.
Recommendations
- Increase
konui_get_recent_kontaskslimit from 5 → 10 (or 15) - Add a new tool:
konui_search_kontasks- Search across all kontasks by keyword, date range, scope, tags
- Would solve the "find all work about X" problem
- Format for session orientation: Consider a dedicated
konui_get_session_briefingthat returns:- Last 10 kontasks with 1-line summaries
- Active flows
- Any pending/approved tasks
- Git status summary
Current Workaround for Orientation
// In the newSessionPrompt, could add:
konui_get_recent_kontasks({ count: 5 }) // Max available today
konui_get_turn_context() // Gets flows + approved tasks
The existing tools cover 80% of the need. A small enhancement to increase the limit and add cross-kontask search would complete the picture.
