TracePass passports
tracepass_passportsCreate, read, and manage EU Digital Product Passports, including compliance checks, registry readiness, QR codes, lifecycle actions, and battery measurement history.
Instructions
Manage Digital Product Passports — create, read, and run lifecycle actions.
IMPORTANT: create makes a DRAFT passport. A draft takes no plan DPP slot and is never billed; the slot, and any per-DPP overage past the plan cap, is taken when the passport is published, which happens in the TracePass dashboard, not through this tool. Each create counts against the daily write budget. archive is IRREVERSIBLE (the public QR permanently 404s); prefer suspend when a change might be undone.
IDENTIFIER SCHEMES (EN 18219): passports are identified by one of five schemes. Battery passports (Battery Regulation Art. 77(3)) accept ONLY gs1 and iso15459. • gs1 — { scheme:"gs1", gtin, serialNumber } — GS1 GTIN + serial; gtin is 8/12/13/14 digits, stored as GTIN-14. • iso15459 — { scheme:"iso15459", issuingAgencyCode, primaryId, serial? } — ISO/IEC 15459; the server derives raw (IAC + primaryId + serial). • iec61406 — { scheme:"iec61406", uri } — IEC 61406 Identification Link (https URI). Not valid for batteries. • did — { scheme:"did", did, method } — W3C DID Core. Not valid for batteries. • doi — { scheme:"doi", doi, granularity:"model"|"batch"|"item" } — ISO 26324 DOI, stored as bare 10./ (any https://doi.org/ or doi: prefix stripped on input; resolves as https://doi.org/); granularity REQUIRED per EN 18219 §5.6.2(b). Not valid for batteries. The legacy top-level gtin + serialNumber pair is still accepted as a deprecated alias for scheme:"gs1".
Actions (pass via action, with args):
list — args: { page?, limit? (≤100), productId?, status?, search? }. status ∈ draft|in_review|approved|published|suspended|expired|archived. Read-only.
get — args: { id, format? (summary|full), lang? }. Read-only. Response includes
identifier,identifierKey, and (for GS1 passports)gs1.get_by_serial — args: { serial, format?, lang?, gtin? }. Read-only. Addresses the passport by your own serial. A serial is unique only WITHIN a GTIN — if the same serial exists under two GTINs in your account the call returns 409 ambiguous_serial; pass
gtin(or use the by-id action) to resolve exactly.compliance — args: { id }. Read-only. Returns a three-tier compliance verdict (compliant | compliant_with_warnings | incomplete) with regulation-cited findings — use to gap-check a passport against the rules for its category, fix the cited fields/parties, then re-check. Also returns byRegulation[]: the same findings grouped per regulation, worst first, so you can tell WHICH regime is failing instead of reading one
incompleteas everything being wrong. A regulation absent from that array raised no finding — that is not the same as it having passed.registry_readiness — args: { id }. Read-only. Returns { ready, findings[] } — whether the passport would pass the EU DPP Registry's FORMAL submission gate (mandatory fields present, correct formatting, a resolvable public link, item-level granularity via a serial number, and a well-formed commodity code where the category carries one, and, for EV, LMT and industrial (over 2 kWh) batteries, conformance to the Commission's battery data model that the Registry validates against (REG-READY-SEMANTIC)). This is the registry's mechanical pre-submission check, NOT the substantive compliance verdict; a passport can be registry-ready yet not substantively compliant. Battery passports only.
place_on_market — args: { id }. WRITE, battery passports only, published only. Places the passport on the market: registers it in the EU DPP registry under the account's own registry access (the upload Battery Regulation Art. 77(10) requires of the operator placing the battery on the market). A legal act for the economic operator — confirm with the user first. ASYNCHRONOUS: answers 202 { passport, passportId, status: "placing", dppId } and the registry call follows in the background; read the passport (get) to follow placeOnMarketStatus: placing → placed (placedOnMarketAt, registrationId) or rejected (registrationRejectionReason). To retry a rejected passport, fix the cause and call place_on_market again. Refusals are 409 with a code: not_a_battery | not_published | already_placed (placing or placed) | operator_id_missing (no economic-operator identifier on the account) | registry_not_configured (an admin sets registry access in the dashboard) | registry_not_ready (findings[] lists what stands in the way — run registry_readiness for the structured findings; an empty list means the configured registry is not open to submissions from TracePass yet). After placement the passport's party operatorIdentifier / facilityIdentifier are locked (409 operator_locked on a change). Counts 1 write.
create — args: { productId, identifier?, gtin?, serialNumber?, lineage? }. Creates a draft (not billed). Provide identifier (preferred) or legacy gtin + serialNumber. Battery passports accept only gs1 and iso15459 schemes — other schemes return 400. A duplicate identifier returns 409. lineage (battery only) — a repurposed, remanufactured or reused battery needs a NEW passport linked to the original(s) (Battery Regulation Art. 77(7)): { predecessors: [ { internalPassportId? | identifier?, trigger: preparation_for_reuse|preparation_for_repurposing|repurposing|remanufacturing } ] (≤10), noPredecessorReason? (only with an empty list, e.g. placed on the market before 18 Feb 2027) }. The server derives batteryStatus from the triggers and links your own predecessor passports back. Immutable after create. Rule violations return 422 with the rule code (duplicate_predecessor, predecessor_not_found, status_trigger_mismatch, …).
suspend — args: { id }. Reversible — public QR shows 'suspended'.
suspend_by_serial — args: { serial, gtin? }. Same as suspend, addressed by your serial. 409 ambiguous_serial if the serial isn't unique in your account — pass
gtin.archive — args: { id, reason? (recycled|never_placed|duplicate_or_error) }. IRREVERSIBLE and destructive — confirm with the user first. reason is REQUIRED for battery passports (400 reason_required / invalid_reason without a valid one): recycled, never_placed (never placed on the market or put into service), or duplicate_or_error (a duplicate or erroneous record); for other categories it is optional. A passport marked for deletion cannot be archived (409).
archive_by_serial — args: { serial, gtin?, reason? }. IRREVERSIBLE and destructive, addressed by your serial — confirm first. Same reason rule as archive. 409 ambiguous_serial if the serial isn't unique — pass
gtin.get_qr — args: { id, format? (svg|png), symbology? (qr|datamatrix) }. Read-only. symbology=datamatrix renders an ISO/IEC 16022 Data Matrix instead of a QR (EN 18220 permits both; same passport URL).
get_qr_by_serial — args: { serial, format? (svg|png), symbology? (qr|datamatrix), gtin? }. Read-only. Same as get_qr, addressed by your own serial. A serial is unique only WITHIN a GTIN — if the same serial exists under two GTINs in your account the call returns 409 ambiguous_serial; pass
gtin(or use get_qr by id) to resolve exactly.list_snapshots — args: { id, page?, limit? (≤100), at? (ISO 8601) }. Read-only. Returns a paginated list of snapshots for the passport (newest first). A snapshot is written on publish and after every change to a non-draft passport (EN 18221 change archive); each carries id, version, reason (e.g. published|field_edit|status_change|baseline), actor (who caused it, when known), snapshotAt, contentHash, hashValid (re-verified on every read), restorable, fieldCount. With
at, returns instead the single snapshot valid at that instant (full record plus validFrom/validUntil) — answers "what did this passport say on date D"; 404 before the first snapshot. Counts 1 against the daily read budget.get_snapshot — args: { id, snapshotId }. Read-only. Returns the full archival record of one snapshot: the complete JSON-LD the passport asserted at that time, plus hash and hashValid. Counts 1 against the daily read budget.
get_condition_flags — args: { id }. Read-only. Returns the resolved condition profile Record<flagKey,{value,status,source}>. Condition flags are reviewer-approved yes/no facts gating conditional legal duties. Battery flags: hasBMS, rechargeable, externalStorageOnly, isStationaryBess. An approved flag makes specific fields required — a missing gated field is a hard publish block (conditional_missing). Counts 1 against the daily read budget.
get_condition_flags_by_serial — args: { serial, gtin? }. Read-only. Same as get_condition_flags, addressed by your own serial. 409 ambiguous_serial if serial not unique — pass gtin.
set_condition_flags — args: { id, flags: Record<flagKey, boolean|null> }. WRITE. Set or clear condition flags (null clears). Keys must be registered for the passport category (battery: hasBMS, rechargeable, externalStorageOnly, isStationaryBess). WARNING: approving a flag can make fields required and block publishing if those fields are empty — fix any gated fields before or immediately after setting the flag. Writes are approved + audited. Idempotency-Key supported. Counts 1 write.
set_condition_flags_by_serial — args: { serial, gtin?, flags }. WRITE. Same as set_condition_flags, addressed by your own serial. 409 ambiguous_serial if serial not unique — pass gtin.
capture_measurements — args: { id, measurements: [ { fieldKey, value, measuredAt (ISO 8601), externalId?, unit? } ] (≤500) }. WRITE, battery passports only, published only. Pushes over-life measurements from the customer's own equipment (e.g. a BMS reporting stateOfHealth, numberOfFullEquivalentChargingCycles; the Annex XIII point 4 use-data keys). Every measurement is stored; the newest per field becomes the passport's current value and sets dynamicDataAsOf. externalId makes a measurement idempotent. A value may be at most 16 KB serialised. batteryStatus is NOT a measurement (400 invalid_field_key). A key the Regulation keeps off this battery category returns 422 field_not_applicable (e.g. stateOfCertifiedEnergy on an LMT battery). Metered against the plan's monthly measurement allowance, not the daily write budget: paid plans keep counting past it at no charge; Free stops at its allowance. Reading a passport is never metered.
capture_measurements_by_serial — args: { serial, gtin?, measurements }. Same, addressed by your own serial.
list_measurements — args: { id, fieldKey?, from?, to? (ISO 8601), limit? (≤200), cursor? }. Read-only. Measurement history, newest first; page with the returned nextCursor.
list_measurements_by_serial — args: { serial, gtin?, fieldKey?, from?, to?, limit?, cursor? }. Read-only.
latest_measurements — args: { id }. Read-only. The newest measurement per accepted key (null where none yet).
latest_measurements_by_serial — args: { serial, gtin? }. Read-only.
