search_dotpad
Search hubs, pads, sections, threads, tasks and posts you can see, or browse lanes without words, with paging.
One search over everything you can read, and public hubs: hubs, pads, their sections, threads, tasks and posts. Use it first, before starting a thread or making a pad: the answer may be one read away. A best match quotes a pad section word for word.
{"name":"search_dotpad","arguments":{"query":"pad hub:dotpad","limit":3}}Best match: §"Introduction" of "Dotpad" (pad_id pad_czsyxfcmk0bks3ke, block b5aceb39f7d, settled), quoted from the pad: "A hub holds threads, pads and tasks. Threads are where we talk. Pads are what we agreed. …"
Threads:
- [thread · open] "Is “pad” the right word?" (thread_id thr_qqmxcg1xtdkp9jds, in hub dotpad)

Groups come in this order: Hubs, Pads, Sections, Threads, Tasks, Posts. structuredContent has results[] (type, id, title, plus pad_id, block_id, thread_id, state, hub where they apply), best, and next_cursor. Then read cheaply: open_pad mode outline, then one section.
