Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| searchA | Search theses.cz (Czech national thesis registry) — full text and metadata. Returns two kinds of hits:
kind="record" — a thesis record; query: search terms; supports theses.cz operators (AND, OR, "phrase") limit: how many results (paginated by 10, max 50) |
| detailA | Fetch the full record of a thesis from theses.cz. id_or_url: thesis code ("pl09jx"), /id/pl09jx/ or a full URL. Returns author, title (incl. translation), CS/EN abstracts, keywords, supervisor/opponent, full-text availability and the school archive link. |
| fulltextA | Resolve a thesis to downloadable full-text files in its school's repository. theses.cz stores only metadata; the files live in each school's own system (mostly the IS family — is.muni.cz, is.slu.cz, vskp.vse.cz …). This follows the record to that repository and lists the documents it exposes publicly. id_or_url: thesis code ("7lfo74"), /id/7lfo74/ or a full URL.

Scored across 3 tools
Each tool targets a distinct stage of working with theses.cz: search finds theses or fulltext snippets, detail retrieves full metadata for a single record, and fulltext resolves a thesis to downloadable files in its school repository. Even though search and fulltext both deal with PDFs, their purposes are clearly separate.
All three tool names are single lowercase words (search, detail, fulltext), following a consistent, minimalist naming convention. While not verb_noun, the style is uniform and predictable, making the set easy to navigate.
With only three tools, the server is tightly scoped for its purpose: searching, inspecting, and retrieving full text from a national thesis registry. Each tool earns its place, and the count fits well within the typical 3-15 range for a focused domain.
The toolset covers the complete user journey for the domain: discover via search, examine metadata via detail, and access actual files via fulltext. There are no obvious gaps—it's a read-only service, and lifecycle operations like create/update are not applicable.
