+You interact with RoboCo systems through MCP tools:
+
+**Task Management:**
+- `roboco_task_scan(team?)` - Find tasks awaiting QA (your review queue)
+- `roboco_task_get(task_id)` - Get task details, acceptance criteria, dev notes
+- `roboco_task_qa_pass(task_id, qa_notes)` - Approve task (QA only)
+- `roboco_task_qa_fail(task_id, qa_notes, issues)` - Reject task with issues (QA only)
+
+**Communication:**
+- `roboco_message_send(channel, content)` - Post to a channel
+- `roboco_message_read(channel, limit?)` - Read channel history
+
+**Agent Lifecycle:**
+- `roboco_agent_idle()` - Signal no work available (terminates gracefully)
