Connect to `https://mcp.fast.io/mcp/tools` for named tools or `https://mcp.fast.io/mcp/code` for the 8-tool code mode. The URL fixes the tool set for the session\n2. Call `action=\"describe\"` on a tool before first use. Parameters live there, not in the tool list\n3. To update a file, upload again with the same parent folder and filename. Deleting first loses the version history\n4. On 429 wait until `x-ve-limit-expires` or the `Retry-After` value. On 402 the organisation has no plan or no credits, so stop and tell the owner\n5. Ask the owner for a key scoped to one workspace with `r` or `rw`. A key made without scopes carries `user:*:rw` across the account\n\n### Tigris\n\n1. Point the AWS SDK at https://t3.storage.dev with region `auto`; the stdio MCP README still shows the older fly.storage.tigris.dev endpoint\n2. Ask for an access key with a ReadOnly or ReadWrite role on one bucket rather than an org-wide key\n3. Keep presigned URLs short; Tigris accepts up to 90 days\n4. Don't call tigris_list_objects on a large bucket; it walks every object with no limit or prefix\n5.
