Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| search_entra_podcastsA | Search transcripts of the Entra.Chat podcast (Merill Fernando's Microsoft Entra podcast on YouTube) using natural language or keywords. Returns transcript excerpts with episode metadata, guest names, and timestamped YouTube deep links that start playback at the relevant moment. Hybrid mode fuses BM25 keyword search with semantic vector search via Reciprocal Rank Fusion (semantic requires OPENAI_API_KEY; keyword works with no configuration). |
| get_episodeA | Retrieve a specific Entra.Chat episode by YouTube video ID, episode number, or publication date. Returns full metadata (guests with profile links, chapters with timestamped links) and the complete transcript with [mm:ss] time markers. |
| list_episodesA | Browse the Entra.Chat episode archive with optional year/month/guest filtering. Returns episode number, title, date, duration, guests, and URL. Use this to discover what episodes exist before using get_episode or search_entra_podcasts. |
| list_guestsA | Browse the directory of Entra.Chat podcast guests. Returns each guest with profile links (LinkedIn, Twitter/X, GitHub, Bluesky, website), how many episodes they appeared on, and their latest appearance date. Use get_guest for a full per-guest episode list. |
| get_guestA | Get a specific Entra.Chat guest by name: their profile links (LinkedIn, Twitter/X, GitHub, Bluesky, website) and every episode they appeared on, enumerated with episode number, title, date, and URL. Partial names match; returning guests show all their appearances. |
| find_tool_mentionsA | Find community tools and open-source projects discussed on Entra.Chat episodes. Returns tool names, the episodes where they were discussed, and timestamped YouTube links to hear the discussion. Optionally filter by keyword. |
