Map ICD-10 to ICD-11

map_icd10_to_icd11
Read-onlyIdempotent

Authoritative ICD-10 → ICD-11 mapping using WHO transition tables (release 2025-01, bundled with the server).

Returns the primary 1:1 ICD-11 category for the ICD-10 code plus any alternative ICD-11 candidates that WHO documents (some ICD-10 concepts split into multiple ICD-11 entities). For each mapping, includes the ICD-11 code, title, chapter, and the Foundation URI / Linearization URI for navigating to the full entity definition.

Use this for clinical coding, billing migration, retrospective analysis, and any workflow that needs authoritative mapping rather than text-search candidates. Coverage: 11,243 ICD-10 categories (excludes chapters and blocks like "A00-A09" which aren't used in clinical coding).

Provide a code like "E11" (Type 2 diabetes), "I21" (Acute MI), or "A07.8" (4 alternatives in WHO's table). Both dotted ("A07.8") and undotted ("A078") forms are accepted.

Returns "no mapping" when the code isn't in the WHO category-level table — that's the honest answer rather than a fuzzy search fallback.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
icd10_codeYesICD-10 code to query in the ICD-11 search index (e.g., E11, I21.0, J18.9)

Output Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
foundYesWhether the code is in the WHO ICD-10 → ICD-11 transition table.
icd10YesSource ICD-10 entry from the WHO table. Null when found=false.
queryYesThe ICD-10 code as submitted (raw, before normalization).

primaryYesPrimary 1:1 ICD-11 mapping. Null when found=false.
provenanceYesProvenance block: source, URL, data vintage, extraction instant, origin diagnostics, citation, license
attributionYesCanonical source URLs of this response (attribution list)
alternativesYesAdditional ICD-11 candidates WHO documents for this ICD-10 code. Empty when the primary is the only documented mapping (or when found=false). 1,461 of the 11,243 indexed codes have non-empty alternatives.

TDQS

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already establish the safe read-only, idempotent profile, so the description's job is to add beyond that — and it does: dedicated release/version of the table, 11,243-category coverage with exclusions, alternative-candidate behavior for split concepts, and a deliberate 'no mapping' response instead of fuzzy fallback. Return shape is described but partly duplicated by the output schema.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Front-loaded with the highest-value sentence, and the coverage limit and no-mapping behavior are placed after the core capability where they belong. Mild redundancy in repeating the 'authoritative rather than text-search' framing, and five paragraphs is slightly more than needed.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

With an output schema present, the description need not explain returns, yet it still covers coverage limits, input formats, edge-case alternatives, and the no-mapping outcome. Nothing an agent needs to invoke and interpret this tool is missing.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100% and the schema carries the baseline examples, but the description adds real input semantics not present there: both dotted ('A07.8') and undotted ('A078') forms are accepted, and chapter/block codes such as 'A00-A09' are explicitly out of scope for input.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a precise verb+resource pair ('ICD-10 → ICD-11 mapping') and immediately qualifies it as 'authoritative ... using WHO transition tables', which separates it from the search-based siblings like icd11_search and find_equivalent. An agent can identify its role without opening the schema.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Gives explicit use contexts (clinical coding, billing migration, retrospective analysis) and states the selection rule 'authoritative mapping rather than text-search candidates', which effectively routes away from icd11_search. It stops short of naming the alternative tool or stating when-not to use it.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
