Tools

Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions

NameDescription
search_archivesA

Search the Scigantic catalog of public scientific data archives by natural-language query.

Returns ranked matches with id, title, category and a short summary across all domains. Follow up with get_schema_card to understand a match's structure.

Args: query: Natural-language search, e.g. "single-cell RNA-seq of human cortex". category: Optional category filter, e.g. "Genomics & Bioinformatics" (comma-separate for several). limit: Max results (default 10, max 50).

get_archiveB

Get full metadata for one archive by id, including whether a schema card exists.

Args: id: Archive id from search_archives.

get_schema_cardA

Get the compact schema card for an archive: file format, columns, sample rows/headers, sidecar docs (READMEs/data dictionaries) and a copy-paste starter cell.

This is the fastest way to understand a dataset's structure without downloading it.

Args: id: Archive id from search_archives.

list_archive_filesB

List a sample of the files/objects in an archive's storage.

Args: id: Archive id from search_archives. limit: Max entries (default 50, max 200).

get_data_accessA

Get how to load a dataset in YOUR OWN environment: storage location plus copy-paste code snippets (from the dataset's schema card, or generated as a fallback).

Use this after finding a dataset when you want to run analysis where you are, rather than in a hosted notebook.

Args: id: Archive id from search_archives. language: Optional filter for the snippet language (e.g. "datasets", "s3fs", "gcsfs").
