glyphs-mcp-master-compatibility

Call get_status first and verify the seven-tool Glyphs 4 catalog. Use list_documents to resolve the intended font. Use read_entities for at most 100 explicit targets per request. Inspect source and dirty state before work.

Prepare supported work with start_job, inspect get_job until ready, and review its report before apply_job. Application is a reversible live change; native Save is acceptance. Use discard_job for whole-job restoration or cancellation. Native Undo and Redo are grouped per glyph. Never save, export, close, or overwrite a font unless the user's task authorizes it. Do not retry an uncertain write as a new job; reconcile the existing job identity first.

The public tools are only get_status, list_documents, read_entities, start_job, get_job, apply_job, and discard_job. There is no arbitrary Python execution tool. Unsupported operations require a reviewed workspace script or native Glyphs workflow; do not invent an MCP command.

Use kind="start_nodes" for supported consistent contour starts. Inspect the prepared report for incompatible contours before applying. Master deletion, interpolation replacement and topology surgery are native workflows or reviewed workspace scripts; they are not MCP job kinds. See lean correspondence.
