# Tool Reference

Complete documentation for all Optix MCP Server tools.

Automatic Parameter Handling

You don't need to manually specify parameters when using Optix. The MCP client (like Claude Code) handles all parameters internally - just describe what audit you want to run, and it takes care of the rest.

## Audit Tools
