Get Problem Catalog
sdamgia_get_catalogRetrieves the complete hierarchical catalog of topics, subtopics, and problem categories with unique IDs for a specified subject.
Instructions
Retrieves the complete hierarchical catalog structure for a specified subject, including all topics, subtopics, and problem categories with their unique identifiers.
PURPOSE: This is the primary discovery tool for exploring what problem content is available on the platform. It returns the full taxonomy of problem categories organized by topics, enabling you to navigate and find specific types of problems.
WHEN TO USE:
Always use this FIRST when exploring a new subject to understand its structure
Use when you need to find category IDs for other tools (required prerequisite for sdamgia_get_category_problems)
Use when you need to understand the organization and topics available for a subject
Use when building problem sets and need to browse available content
Essential for discovering what problem types exist before querying specific categories
KEY PARAMETERS:
subject (required): The subject identifier (e.g., 'ege', 'oge', 'math')
response_format (optional): Output format - 'json' for structured data, 'markdown' for formatted text (default: 'json')
RESPONSE FORMAT: Returns an array of catalog entries, where each entry contains:
name: Human-readable topic/category name
id: Unique category identifier (required for other tools)
children: Optional array of subcategories (nested hierarchy)
The response is hierarchical - categories may contain subcategories, and leaf nodes represent actual problem categories you can query.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
This tool ONLY returns category structure and IDs, NOT actual problems
Must be called before using sdamgia_get_category_problems to obtain valid category_id values
Category IDs are specific to each subject - the same ID may mean different things across subjects
The catalog structure can change over time as new content is added
Response size can be large for comprehensive subjects
EXAMPLE WORKFLOW:
Call sdamgia_get_catalog(subject='ege') to get all EGE categories
Parse response to find desired category (e.g., "Quadratic Equations" with id='12345')
Use category_id='12345' with sdamgia_get_category_problems to get actual problems
TYPICAL USE CASES:
"Show me all available topics for EGE mathematics"
"What categories exist under 'Algebra' for OGE?"
"Find the category ID for trigonometry problems"
"Browse the complete problem catalog structure"
