One question

Are AFS prompts and explain the same thing?

Prompts orient the caller; explain supplies guidance for a particular path.

Three kinds of guidance

FormRoleExample
Server instructionsOrient the client to entry pointsDiscover tools and visible resources first
MCP promptGuidance messages a client may requestexplore returns a tool overview and current mounts
AFS explainExplain a specific pathSupported behavior and where to look next

The implemented explore prompt builds a guide from mount information. It is not an all-knowing business prompt, and not every MCP client necessarily requests or uses it automatically.

Why not one enormous prompt?

Initial guidance supplies direction; path explanations support task-specific exploration. Environment-derived guidance can track available mounts better than a manually copied static list. Freshness and caller scope still need verification.

Understanding and execution remain separate. Prompts help a model choose; the system still validates arguments, enforces authority and reports failures.
