Question 1

Will this route commands on any MCP server I point it at?

Accepted Answer

No. It targets simple servers with primitive-typed parameters and distinguishable names and descriptions, input of up to five intents, and values stated literally. Nested objects, arrays and inferred values are out of scope.

Question 2

How does it avoid inventing argument values?

Accepted Answer

Non-enum values are per-word Noul highlights copied as exact substrings of the command, never generated text. That rules out paraphrase and misspelling, but it also means typos, casing fixes and pronouns are not resolved.

Question 3

What breaks with two numbers in one command?

Accepted Answer

Each parameter is highlighted independently over the whole command with no cross-parameter bookkeeping, so two same-typed parameters can claim the same word. Slot-style sentences with two numbers are the documented failure shape.

Question 4

Why does an unmentioned optional parameter still get filled?

Accepted Answer

The loop tries every declared property and boolean conversion defaults to False when no truthy keyword appears, so an unmentioned optional can come back as a wrong value instead of being skipped or defaulted.

Question 5

Which parameter types actually work?

Accepted Answer

string, integer, number, boolean and enum, where an enum is a Literal[...] type hint declared in the tool's JSON schema. Type conversion is plain Python chosen by the declared schema type, not the model. A parameter typed as a nested JSON object or an array is out of scope, since there is no primitive here for Jev to decompose structurally out of a sentence.

Question 6

How do numbers spelled out in words get handled?

Accepted Answer

With a judgement, not a regex. Pass 1 asks a Noul whether the command writes any number in words rather than digits, and only when the answer is yes does a deterministic rule-based parser rewrite the whole command once before anything else runs, so highlighting and conversion never special-case words. Standard English number words resolve; idiomatic quantities like half an hour, a dozen or a couple do not, and non-English input is not covered.

Question 7

How many round trips does a command cost?

Accepted Answer

One batched request in the common case. Pass 1 sends three independent questions together: a Choice over every tool, the word-numbers Noul, and a 1-to-5 Choice counting independent actions, with a speculative tool pick riding along. When the count is 1 that pick is simply used, so a single-intent command costs exactly what it always did. Only a compound command pays more, one extra batched request to assign each word to a sub-command, after which each span reruns the full pipeline.
