Hey, good question. Marmot is designed to be as generic as possible. An "Asset", whether it's a database, glossary term, topic, API or anything else, has the exact same schema, API endpoint and MCP tool. The MCP server exposes 3 tools: discover_data, find_ownership and lookup_term. Scoping happens as filters and arguments to discover_data, and it's summary-first, so a broad query returns counts or provider breakdowns rather than dumping every asset into context, and the agent narrows from there. The search step is really the primary interface here.
