 Given the context in which Minder operates, we did need to add some custom functionality that OPA doesn’t provide out of the box. Namely, we added the following custom functions:
 
-* **file.exists**: Verifies that the given file exists in the Git repository.
+* **file.exists(filepath)**: Verifies that the given filepath exists in the Git repository, returns a boolean.
 
-* **file.read**: Reads the contents of the given file in the Git repository.
+* **file.read(filepath)**: Reads the contents of the given file in the Git repository and returns the contents as a string.
 
-* **file.ls**: Lists files in the given directory in the Git repository.
+* **file.ls(directory)**: Lists files in the given directory in the Git repository, returning the filenames as an array of strings.
 
-* **file.ls_glob**: Lists files in the given directory in the Git repository that match the given glob pattern.
+* **file.ls_glob(pattern)**: Lists files in the given directory in the Git repository that match the given glob pattern, returning matched filenames as an array of strings.
 
-* **file.http_type**: Returns the HTTP content type of the given file.
+* **file.http_type(filepath)**: Determines the HTTP (MIME) content type of the given file by [examining the first 512 bytes of the file](https://mimesniff.spec.whatwg.org/). It returns the content type as a string.
 
-* **file.walk**: Walks the given directory in the Git repository and lists all files.
+* **file.walk(path)**: Walks the given path (directory or file) in the Git repository and returns a list of paths to all regular files (not directories) as an array of strings.
 
-* **github_workflow.ls_actions**: Lists all actions in the given GitHub workflow directory.
+* **github_workflow.ls_actions(directory)**: Lists all actions in the given GitHub workflow directory, returning the filenames as an array of strings.
+
+* **parse_yaml**: Parses a YAML string into a JSON object.  This implementation uses https://gopkg.in/yaml.v3, which avoids bugs when parsing `"on"` as an object _key_ (for example, in GitHub workflows).
+
+* **jq.is_true(object, query)**: Evaluates a jq query against the specified object, returning `true` if the query result is a true boolean value, andh `false` otherwise.
+
+* **file.archive(paths)**: _(experimental)_ Builds a `.tar.gz` format archive containing all files under the given paths.  Returns the archive contents as a (binary) string.
+
+_(experimental)_ In addition, when operating in a pull request context, `base_file` versions of the `file` operations are available for accessing the files in the base branch of the pull request.  The `file` versions of the operations operate on the head (proposed changes) versions of the files in a pull request context.
+
+In addition, most of the [standard OPA functions are available in the Minder runtime](https://www.openpolicyagent.org/docs/latest/policy-reference/#built-in-functions).
