Tools

Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions

NameDescription
list_versionsB

Lists every published ISM release (historical, current, and any future tags as soon as they appear upstream). Returns tag, version id, commit SHA, and release date parsed from the tag.

get_version_metadataA

Returns OSCAL metadata (title, version, last-modified, oscal-version) for a given ISM release. Use "latest" or omit to get the most recent.

list_groupsB

Returns the hierarchical group structure of the ISM catalog (chapters, guidelines, sections) with control counts at each level.

list_controlsC

Returns a paginated, filtered list of ISM controls. Supports filters by applicability, group/section name (substring), and label prefix (e.g. "GOV", "AC", "PHYS").

search_controlsA

Full-text search across ISM control labels, titles, statements, and group paths. Combine with applicability/group/labelPrefix filters.

get_controlA

Returns the full detail (title, group path, applicability, statement) for a single ISM control. Accepts either the OSCAL id (e.g. ism-principle-gov-01) or the human label (e.g. GOV-01).

get_controlsB

Returns full detail for multiple ISM controls in one call. Accepts OSCAL ids and/or human labels (e.g. GOV-01).

compare_versionsA

Computes the diff between two ISM releases: controls added, removed, and modified (title, statement, or applicability changes). Useful for change-management and gap analysis.

list_profilesA

Lists the OSCAL profiles published alongside each ISM release: the five classification baselines (NC, OS, P, S, TS) and the three Essential Eight maturity levels (ML1, ML2, ML3).

get_profile_controlsB

Returns the resolved set of controls included in a given ISM OSCAL profile (classification baseline or Essential Eight maturity level) for a given version.

cache_infoA

Reports the bundled offline data directory, the writable user cache directory, sizes, file counts, and whether the server is running in offline mode (ISM_MCP_OFFLINE).

Prompts
