jq — 18 Operations for AI Agents

jq filters are how JSON gets reshaped in pipelines everywhere — extraction, transformation, one-liners promoted to production. act101 reads filter programs as structure, so agents understand what a transformation does before the data hits it.

This page is the canonical reference an AI coding agent uses to refactor, query, and analyze jq code through the act MCP server. 18 operations available: 0 refactor, 18 query, 0 analysis. Each operation is callable from Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenCode, or any MCP-compatible agent host. Click any operation for a stable anchor link suitable for citation.

18 query tools, the same on every supported language. Descriptions live in the shared reference: /docs/query-tools.
