get_foundry_stateAnswer
Read the user-authored problem brief, active LaunchPad stage, record counts, quality warnings, and selected candidate. Call this first so every later action uses the human’s actual problem. This only records an audit event and does not change research decisions.

}research_and_ideateAction
Run the complete LaunchPad workflow in one action: structure the problem, search relevant research, extract and qualify cited findings, synthesize mechanisms, build one solution, stress-test it, and finalize the visible blueprint. This is the one-shot WebMCP entry point and visibly changes the entire page.
