RFC STANDARD20 WIRE CONTRACTS50 MCP TOOLS
The 20 Formal Wire Contracts of GRIP
Each contract defines strict architectural invariants, JSON schemas, tool definitions, and guarantees designed to eliminate vendor lock-in and enable production-grade GraphRAG across any backend.
Live Backend Schema Introspection (Contract 3)

What Standard This Sets:
Defines the 7 canonical retrieval operations across all graph backends: local search, global community search, hybrid vector+graph search, entity lookup, path discovery, k-hop neighborhood expansion, and community member enumeration.
Architectural & Ecosystem Implication:
Eliminates vendor-specific graph query dialects (GSQL, Cypher, Gremlin). AI agents query using uniform semantic parameters rather than compiling database-specific query strings, completely shielding LLMs from syntax hallucinations and injection vulnerabilities.
