Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| existdb_lookup_functionA | Look up the documentation for one or more eXist-db / XQuery functions by name. Returns the full signature, parameter descriptions, return type, and usage notes. Accepts a local name (e.g. 'store'), a prefixed name (e.g. 'xmldb:store'), or a partial match. |
| existdb_list_namespace_functionsA | Lists all documented functions in a given eXist-db / XQuery namespace. Accepts a namespace URI or a conventional prefix (e.g. 'xmldb', 'ft', 'util', 'sm', 'fn'). |
| existdb_search_functionsA | Full-text search across all eXist-db / XQuery function names and descriptions. Useful for discovering functions when you know what you want to do but not the exact name. |
| existdb_list_namespacesA | Returns a summary table of all available namespaces in the documentation cache, including their conventional prefix and the number of documented functions. |
| existdb_get_xquery_snippetA | Returns a ready-to-use XQuery code snippet for a common eXist-db programming pattern. Available topics: store-document, fulltext-search, restxq, http-client, security, transform-xslt, collection-query. |
| existdb_execute_queryB | Executes an XQuery expression against a live eXist-db instance via the REST API and returns the results. Requires EXISTDB_ENDPOINT, EXISTDB_USER, EXISTDB_PASSWORD env vars, or pass endpoint/username/password directly. |
| existdb_validate_xqueryA | Validates the syntax of an XQuery expression against a live eXist-db instance without executing it. Returns syntax errors with line/column information if present. |
| existdb_list_collectionB | Lists the contents of an eXist-db collection: sub-collections and XML documents with metadata (size, permissions, modification date). |
| existdb_get_documentC | Retrieves the XML content of a document stored in eXist-db. |
| existdb_store_documentA | Stores (creates or replaces) an XML document in an eXist-db collection via PUT. |
| existdb_delete_resourceB | Deletes a document or collection from eXist-db. Use with caution — deletion is permanent. |
