get_latest_version — Resolves the latest published version of a Maven Central artifact (any groupId:artifactId — Java, Kotlin, or Scala library).
get_javadoc_index — Fetches the rendered Javadoc/Scaladoc index page for a specific Maven Central artifact version, converted to plain text/markdown.
get_javadoc_content_list — Lists every entry in the Javadoc/Scaladoc jar of a Maven Central artifact version (HTML pages for classes/methods/packages, plus search-index files and resources).
get_javadoc_symbol_contents — Reads one Javadoc/Scaladoc page from a Maven Central artifact, already converted to plain text/markdown so you don't have to parse HTML.
list_source_contents — Lists every file inside the **sources jar** (the `-sources.jar` publishers attach alongside the binary) of a Maven Central artifact version.
search_artifacts — Searches the indexed Maven Central catalog for artifacts whose groupId or artifactId contains a substring (case-insensitive).
symbol_to_artifact — Resolves a class name, fully-qualified type, or package name to the Maven Central artifact (groupId, artifactId) that publishes it.
