list_common_attributes

Discover frequently used attributes for a given dataset in Biomart MCP. It simplifies attribute selection by returning only the most common options, aiding efficient data exploration and analysis in biological datasets.

Instructions

Lists commonly used attributes available for a given dataset.

This function returns only the most frequently used attributes (defined in COMMON_ATTRIBUTES)
to avoid overwhelming the model with too many options. For a complete list,
use list_all_attributes.

Args:
    mart (str): The mart identifier (e.g., "ENSEMBL_MART_ENSEMBL")
    dataset (str): The dataset identifier (e.g., "hsapiens_gene_ensembl")

Returns:
    str: CSV-formatted table of common attributes with their display names and descriptions.

Example:
    list_common_attributes("ENSEMBL_MART_ENSEMBL", "hsapiens_gene_ensembl")
    >>> "name,display_name,description
         ensembl_gene_id,Gene stable ID,Ensembl stable ID for the gene
         external_gene_name,Gene name,The gene name
         ..."
