Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| bag_health_mcp__list_diseasesA | List all 51 disease topics available in the BAG Infectious Disease Dashboard (IDD). Returns the topic slug needed for other tools, grouped by category (respiratory, enteric, STI, vector-borne, wastewater). Discover what diseases are available before querying data.Start here; the topic slugs returned are required inputs for the other tools.bag_health_mcp__list_diseases() -> categories incl. 'influenza', 'measles', 'covid19'. |
| bag_health_mcp__list_seriesA | List all available data series for a specific disease topic. Each series is identified by 'topic/chapter/aggregation/temporality'. Returns series IDs to use with bag_health_mcp__get_series_details and bag_health_mcp__get_disease_data.Find which exact series exist for a disease (e.g. weekly cases vs yearly incidence) before fetching data.Needs a valid topic slug from bag_health_mcp__list_diseases.bag_health_mcp__list_series(topic='influenza') -> 'influenza/cases/incValue/iso_week', ... |
| bag_health_mcp__get_series_detailsA | Get metadata and available filter values for a specific data series. Shows which canton, age group, sex, and other dimensions are available. Always call this before bag_health_mcp__get_disease_data to know valid filter options.Learn the valid filter values (cantons, age groups, sex) for a series so a subsequent data query uses accepted parameters.Available dimensions vary by series — always check here rather than assuming.bag_health_mcp__get_series_details(series_id='influenza/cases/incValue/iso_week') -> cantons=['ZH','BE',...], age_groups=[...]. |
| bag_health_mcp__get_disease_dataA | Fetch time-series surveillance data for a disease from the BAG IDD. Returns weekly or yearly case counts, incidence rates, or other metrics. Data updated every Wednesday. Get the actual numbers/trend for a disease in a canton over time — the core data-retrieval tool.Call bag_health_mcp__get_series_details first for valid filters. 'incValue' = incidence per 100'000; 'value' = absolute count.bag_health_mcp__get_disease_data(series_id='influenza/cases/incValue/iso_week', canton='ZH') -> weekly influenza incidence for Zurich. |
| bag_health_mcp__list_export_filesA | List all available export file names from the BAG IDD. These are complete datasets (CSV/JSON) per disease, e.g. INFLUENZA_oblig, COVID19_wastewater_sequencing, MEASLES_oblig. Use with bag_health_mcp__download_export to get raw data files.Discover which complete bulk datasets can be downloaded for offline/bulk analysis.Returns file names, not the data — pass one to bag_health_mcp__download_export.bag_health_mcp__list_export_files() -> ['INFLUENZA_oblig', 'COVID19_wastewater_sequencing', ...]. |
| bag_health_mcp__download_exportA | Download a complete export dataset from the BAG IDD as CSV or JSON. Returns the raw data content for a specific disease file. Useful for bulk analysis. Files are updated weekly.Retrieve a full raw dataset (all rows) for one disease for downstream/offline analysis.The preview is truncated at 3000 chars; for very large datasets use the IDD web interface. Get file names from bag_health_mcp__list_export_files.bag_health_mcp__download_export(file='INFLUENZA_oblig', format='csv') -> raw CSV content. |
| bag_health_mcp__get_data_versionA | Get the current data version of the BAG IDD. Returns the date of the last data update (format YYYYMMDD). IDD is updated every Wednesday.Check how fresh the data is / which weekly snapshot you are looking at.Data is updated only weekly (Wednesdays); not real-time.bag_health_mcp__get_data_version() -> version='20260325', date='2026-03-25'. |
| bag_health_mcp__get_canton_situationA | Get a public health situation overview for a specific canton or Switzerland. Combines current incidence data for key school-relevant diseases (influenza, measles, norovirus proxy via acute_respiratory_infection) with trend information. Designed for school authorities and city administration Public Health Reporting. One-call situational overview for a canton (Schulamt / city administration) without orchestrating multiple series queries.Aggregates several series; a single unavailable series is reported as a per-disease status, not a failure of the whole call.bag_health_mcp__get_canton_situation(canton='ZH') -> per-disease latest value, trend and change for Zurich. Anchor query: 'Wie ist die aktuelle Grippesituation im Kanton Zürich?' |
| bag_health_mcp__search_health_indicatorsA | Search health indicators across three Swiss sources: 'obsan' (Swiss Health Observatory — hundreds of indicators incl. the HBSC youth-survey series), 'versorgungsatlas' (Swiss health-care supply atlas, ~124 indicators), and 'suchtschweiz' (addiction / HBSC series, served via Obsan's official mirror). Returns matching indicator_ids to pass to bag_health_mcp__get_indicator_series. IMPORTANT: this serves AGGREGATED population statistics (prevalences/metrics by age/sex/region) — NOT individual advice, diagnosis or case assessment, and no personal data. Especially for 'suchtschweiz' (prevention topics in a school context): the figures are population-level survey aggregates only. Find which indicators exist for a topic (e.g. youth alcohol) before fetching a series.Most indicators are national; cantonal breakdowns are rare (HBSC youth surveys are not cantonally representative).bag_health_mcp__search_health_indicators(source='suchtschweiz', topic='alkohol') -> Obsan HBSC alcohol-prevalence indicators. |
| bag_health_mcp__get_indicator_seriesA | Fetch one health indicator's time series from Obsan, the Versorgungsatlas or Sucht Schweiz (HBSC). Use an indicator_id from bag_health_mcp__search_health_indicators. Obsan/suchtschweiz return national year/value points (with 95% confidence intervals and sex/category dimensions where available); versorgungsatlas returns a cantonal year/value series (26 cantons + a 'CH' national total, with 95% CIs and a canton-vs-Switzerland ratio) — pass region='ZH' for a canton. IMPORTANT: AGGREGATED population statistics only — NOT individual advice, diagnosis or case assessment, no personal data. For 'suchtschweiz' (school-context prevention topics) the values are national HBSC survey aggregates by age/sex. Get a national trend (obsan/suchtschweiz) or a cantonal series with a Switzerland comparison (versorgungsatlas).obsan/suchtschweiz indicators are national — passing a canton returns the national series with an explanatory note (HBSC is not cantonally representative). versorgungsatlas supports cantons: region='ZH' returns ZH plus a canton-vs-CH comparison.bag_health_mcp__get_indicator_series(source='versorgungsatlas', indicator_id='_003/b', region='ZH') -> ZH cantonal series with 95% CIs and its ratio to the Swiss average. |
