  "task_performed": "Read-only MCP access to Vela's corpus of human experience: cited passages, coordinates, reading paths.\n\nVela (vela.study) is a study of being human read through literature, art, and behavioral science. This server gives an agent read-only, unauthenticated access to Vela's corpus of ~1,100 scored literary and behavioral-science extraction cards, queryable by controlled theme, emotion, and a four-axis coordinate system (sex / work / learning / religion), plus the magazine's adaptive sequencing engine. Every result returns citations (source, passage code, relevance score, a short clamped snippet) rather than full passage text or a fabricated summary, because the underlying corpus is licensed for Vela's own use and is not reproduced wholesale. No sign-in, no API key, no writes.\n\nTools: vela.corpus.list_topics, vela.corpus.describe_topic, vela.corpus.query, vela.corpus.ground_claim, vela.corpus.witness, vela.magazine.sequence_path, vela.magazine.relation_floor.
