}Response shape
All tools return { ok: true, result } on success and { ok: false, error } on failure. The result object contains:
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | string | Resulting expression in nerdamer syntax. |

}Common errors
- Two-sided limit does not exist.Result may be `NaN`, `undefined`, or a one-sided value without warning.
- A required field is missing or has the wrong type.Zod validation error, e.g. `Required` or `Expected string, received number`.
- Nerdamer cannot parse the expression (unbalanced parens, unknown function, stray characters).`Unexpected token …` or `… is not a valid expression`.
