Tracing MCP tools
Reference for the tracing tools in the Divergent MCP server, with each tool's parameters and response.
The Divergent MCP server provides the operations of div traces, div trace, div score and div scores as tools. Setup is on that page. The API key needs the traces:read scope to read, and traces:write to delete a trace and to set or delete a score. A key from div login has both.
Responses are JSON.
