Search vector store MCP response

MCP tool response returned by the Search vector store MCP tool.

Response Shape

The tool returns a text report. It does not return a reusable GovTribe record row.

Successful searches use this pattern:

PartText patternNotes
HeaderFound {count} result(s) for: "{query}"Returned when the vector store has at least one match.
Result heading### Result {rank} — {filename} (relevance: {score}%)Returned once for each matching file.
AttributesAttributes: {key}: {value}, ...Included only when the matched file has attributes.
ContentMatched text chunksOne or more extracted text chunks from the matching file.
More resultsAdditional results available.Included when the vector store reports additional available results.

If the completed vector store has no matches, the response is No results found for: "{query}".

If the vector store is not ready, the response is Vector store {id} is still {status}. Search results are not ready yet. Retry Search_Vector_Store later, or call Add_To_Vector_Store again with the same arguments to check readiness.

Follow-up Behavior

When the response says search results are not ready yet, retry Search_Vector_Store later or call Add_To_Vector_Store again with identical arguments to check readiness.
