Tools

Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions

NameDescription
list_entitiesA

Lists the CERIF 1.6 entity catalog: 19 core entities, 161 linking entities, 71 language-dependent entities, and 42 supporting entities (293 total). Use kind to filter by category, query to search names and descriptions, and limit to cap results.

get_entityA

Returns the full definition of one CERIF 1.6 entity: its category, primary id element, child elements in schema order, and its linking entities. Accepts friendly names (person, project, publication, org unit, etc.) or exact element names (cfPers, cfProj, cfResPubl).

list_schemesA

Lists the canonical CERIF classification schemes (vocabularies) curated for common use: person names, organisation roles, project roles, event roles, publication types, project status, funding types, identifier types, and more. Optional query filters scheme names and terms.

get_schemeA

Returns the full term list of a CERIF classification scheme. Use to find the exact cfClassId / cfClassSchemeId pairs used when classifying entities (e.g. person↔organisation roles).

validate_xmlA

Validates a CERIF 1.6 XML string against the official euroCRIS CERIF_1.6_2.xsd schema (5134 lines) in-process. Returns structural, typing, and value errors with line/column and XPath location. When the document fails, use validate_xml iteratively until it passes, or ask for build_* tools to construct valid fragments.

validate_fileA

Reads an XML file from the local filesystem and validates it against the CERIF 1.6 schema. Use when the agent has written a CERIF file to disk and needs schema confirmation.

build_entityA

Builds a single top-level CERIF 1.6 entity element (e.g. , , ) with a generated primary id. Pass values for scalar child elements (names like cfFamilyNames, cfFirstNames, cfBirthdate, cfGender, cfTitle, cfKeyw). Language-dependent elements automatically get cfLangCode/cfTrans attributes. Use build_document to wrap fragments into a valid CERIF document.

build_linkA

Builds a linking entity element (e.g. cfProj_Pers, cfOrgUnit_Class) connecting two CERIF entities. Provide side id values via sides (keys like "Proj", "Pers"), positionally via idA/idB, or omit for placeholders. The schema requires every link to carry a classification, so when classId/classSchemeId are omitted they default to "unclassified"/"cerif" — replace them with canonical scheme terms from get_scheme. Optionally add startDate/endDate/fraction.

build_documentA

Wraps one or more entity/link fragments (from build_entity / build_link) into a complete CERIF 1.6 XML document with the official namespace urn:xmlns:org:eurocris:cerif-1.6-2, date, and sourceDatabase. Always validate the result with validate_xml.

analyze_documentA

Parses a CERIF XML document (string or file) and reports its structure: root element, namespace, attributes, entity counts, total elements, and max depth. Useful for understanding existing CERIF data before extending it.

extract_entitiesA

Extracts all instances of a given entity element from a CERIF document (string or file), with their XPath, id text, and child count. For example, list every or in the document.

lookup_in_documentA

Searches a CERIF document (string or file) for elements whose id text matches a query (e.g. an ORCID, project id, or DOI). Returns matching elements with their XPath, useful for cross-referencing links.

migrate_15_to_16A

Migrates a CERIF 1.5 XML document to CERIF 1.6 by applying the euroCRIS documented steps: (1) replace the namespace urn:xmlns:org:eurocris:cerif-1.5-2 with urn:xmlns:org:eurocris:cerif-1.6-2, (2) update the xsi:schemaLocation, and (3) remove the release attribute from the CERIF element. Returns the migrated XML plus a change log. Always validate the result with validate_xml.

Prompts

Interactive templates invoked by user choice

NameDescription
cerif_authorGuides the agent to author valid CERIF 1.6 XML: choose entities from the catalog, build fragments with the build_* tools, wrap them in a document, and validate with validate_xml.
cerif_validatorAsks the agent to validate a CERIF XML document against the official schema and to fix any errors it finds.

TDQS

A4.2/5.0

Scored across 13 tools

Disambiguation5/5

Each tool targets a distinct operation: listing vs. getting entity/scheme, validating vs. building vs. analyzing vs. extracting vs. migrating. Even validate_xml and validate_file differ by input source, clearly described. No two tools appear to do the same thing.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tool names follow a strict verb_noun pattern: list_entities, get_entity, build_link, validate_xml, analyze_document, migrate_15_to_16, etc. The verbs are consistent and the nouns clearly indicate the object, making the API predictable and easy to learn.

Tool Count5/5

13 tools is well-scoped for a domain as complex as CERIF 1.6. Each tool earns its place, covering catalog browsing, construction, validation, analysis, and migration without redundancy or bloat.

Completeness5/5

The tool surface covers the full lifecycle: discover entities/schemes, build entity/link/document fragments, validate against the official schema, inspect existing documents, and migrate from 1.5. No obvious gaps that would prevent an agent from working effectively with CERIF data.
