CTCL (Common Temporal Coordinate Layer) remote read/compute tools: reference-instant math, custom temporal systems, Temporal Groups, boundary inspection, semantic time resolution, constraint-based scheduling. Write/Trigger/WakeEvent/Agent-Wake capability lives only on the local Temporal Port desktop app's Local MCP server, not here (whitepaper §12.3). register_instant is the one write tool - it's the same operation POST /v1/instants already performs publicly.
Known tools 10
ctcl.nowGet the current verified reference instant across all supported encodings and timescales.
Inferred read-onlyctcl.convertConvert a time value across encodings, timescales, and timezones (§7).
Inferred read-onlyctcl.expand_groupProject an instant across every member of a Temporal Group ("One Instant, Many Systems").
Inferred read-onlyctcl.inspect_boundaryProactively check a local time or custom-system value for a DST gap/fold or a paused segment - never errors, returns status+safe instead.
Inferred read-onlyctcl.resolve_temporal_contextResolve a place/timezone name or abbreviation to an IANA timezone id (best-effort; genuinely ambiguous input returns multiple candidates rather than guessing).
Inferred read-onlyctcl.plan_shared_instantScore candidate instants in a time window against weighted scheduling constraints and return the best fit (demonstration-scope constraint solving, §7 - see GET /v1/planner/constraint-types for what's honestly supported).
