## What it does [#what-it-does]

Re-request this server's standing instructions verbatim — the exact text sent once at MCP `initialize`, not a paraphrase. Recovers guidance a host dropped, or that scrolled out of context.

## When to use it [#when-to-use-it]

**Use when:** "what are your instructions" · "remind me how to use strata19" · "what should I call first here"

**Also use when:** standing guidance seems lost mid-session

## When not to use it [#when-not-to-use-it]

at a normal session start where the host already surfaced `initialize.instructions` as usual

## Availability [#availability]
