Help

[MODE:DIALOG] Read-only, idempotent. Tier: meta.

Returns the short/long/help text for a fibe <path> command. No API call, no auth required.

When to use

• Need exact flag names/types for fibe_run or a CLI invocation.
• Looking for argument shape examples that don't appear in the MCP tool description.
• Discovering subcommands under a CLI namespace.

Inputs

Field	Type	Default	Notes
path	string	empty (= root)	Space-separated subcommand path, e.g. "playgrounds create"

Output

{
  "path": "playgrounds create",
  "short": "Create a new playground",
  "long": "Long description...",
  "help": "Usage:\n  fibe playgrounds create [flags]\n\nFlags:\n  -n, --name string ..."
}

Examples

• Root commands list: { "path": "" }.
• All playgrounds subcommands: { "path": "playgrounds" }.
• Specific subcommand: { "path": "templates versions create" }.

Gotchas

• Errors with unknown command for typos: the matcher is exact prefix on CLI command names.
• Requires the MCP server to run inside the fibe CLI (always true for the standard fibe mcp serve).
• For MCP tool descriptions/schemas, prefer fibe_tools_catalog: fibe_help is for the CLI surface.
