GetConfig

Returns Maenifold system configuration for debugging and troubleshooting.

Parameters

None - zero-parameter diagnostic tool.

Returns

Use Cases

• Troubleshooting: Verify paths when tools fail
• Debugging: Check auto-sync and debug flags
• Environment validation: Confirm config before major operations
• Path verification: Ensure directories resolve correctly
• Decay tuning: Verify grace periods and half-life before running sleep cycle
• Community detection tuning: Check Louvain resolution and sibling thresholds

Integration

Pairs with:

• MemoryStatus: System health metrics and file counts
• GetHelp: Tool documentation lookup
• Sync: Verify auto-sync before manual sync
