Summary

The mempalace MCP server has been exposing 29 tools for a while, but prompts/mempalace.md only documented ~18 of them. This PR brings the prompt up to parity with the actual tool surface and adds a heads-up about mempalace 3.3.4's new auto-tunnel behavior.

What's new in the prompt

Cross-wing tunnels (expanded):

  • mempalace_create_tunnel — manual tunnel between (wing, room) pairs
  • mempalace_list_tunnels — list tunnels (filterable by wing)
  • mempalace_delete_tunnel — remove a wrong / noisy tunnel
  • mempalace_follow_tunnels — walk outbound tunnels from a specific room

Drawer management (new section):

  • mempalace_get_drawer — fetch by ID after a search hit
  • mempalace_list_drawers — paginated browse for inventory/cleanup
  • mempalace_update_drawer — edit in place (was added in 3.2.0)

Maintenance (new section):

  • mempalace_reconnect — force reconnect after CLI/external script writes
  • mempalace_memories_filed_away — confirm a stop-hook checkpoint flushed
  • mempalace_hook_settings — toggle silent-save / desktop-toast

Misc:

  • mempalace_get_aaak_spec — AAAK closet/compression spec

Why now

mempalace 3.3.4 (released 2026-05-01) makes tunnels meaningfully more useful — they now auto-form when topics overlap across wings (upstream #1184). The agent needed to know that tunnels are mostly populated automatically and the manual create/delete tools are for steering, not building from scratch.

Scope

Prompt-only. No plugin bump, no code change, no schema change. Talon's mempalace plugin shells out to the venv python and is version-agnostic — the upstream upgrade from 3.3.2 → 3.3.4 doesn't require any Talon-side change beyond pip install --upgrade mempalace in the venv.

Test plan

  • npm run lint — 9 pre-existing warnings, 0 errors (no changes)
  • npm test -- --run — 1367/1367 passing
  • Manual smoke: confirm mempalace_create_tunnel, mempalace_get_drawer, mempalace_list_drawers, mempalace_update_drawer, mempalace_follow_tunnels, mempalace_reconnect, mempalace_memories_filed_away all respond on the live palace

….3.4 auto-tunnels

The mempalace MCP server has exposed 29 tools for a while now, but the agent
prompt only documented ~18 of them. Tools that were previously invisible to the
model:

- Drawer management: get_drawer, list_drawers, update_drawer
- Cross-wing tunnels: create_tunnel, list_tunnels, delete_tunnel, follow_tunnels
- Maintenance: reconnect, memories_filed_away, hook_settings
- Misc: get_aaak_spec

mempalace 3.3.4 also added automatic cross-wing tunnel creation when topics
overlap across wings (PR #1184 upstream). Agents needed a heads-up that
tunnels mostly form on their own now and the manual create/delete tools are
for steering, not building from scratch.

No code changes — prompt-only update. The Talon plugin is version-agnostic
(shells out to the venv python), so no plugin bump is required.
