Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| get_neo4j_schemaA | List all nodes, their attributes and their relationships to other nodes in the neo4j database. If this fails with a message that includes "Neo.ClientError.Procedure.ProcedureNotFound" suggest that the user install and enable the APOC plugin. |
| queryA | Execute a Cypher query on the Neo4j database. If the question is about up- or down-regulated genes, use the find_upregulated_genes or find_downreguluated genes EDGE PROPERTIES - CRITICAL: Many relationships in this knowledge graph have properties stored as edge attributes (data ON the relationship itself). Examples include: log2fc, adj_p_value, methylation_diff, q_value, etc. |
| get_node_metadataA | Get metadata for all nodes from MetaNode nodes in the knowledge graph. |
| get_relationship_metadataA | Get descriptions of properties of all relationships in the knowledge graph. |
| find_differentially_expressed_genesA | Return the top-N up- and down-regulated genes for a given assay_id. This tool runs two queries on the GeneLab KG:
FORMATTING INSTRUCTION: RENDER THE RESPONSE IN MARKDOWN FORMAT! |
| find_common_differentially_expressed_genesA | Find common differentially expressed genes across multiple assays. This function:
FORMATTING INSTRUCTION: RENDER THE RESPONSE IN MARKDOWN FORMAT! INFORM THE USER ABOUT CURRENT THRESHOLDS AND THAT THEY CAN BE CHANGED. |
| select_assaysA | List and select assays for a study and render the response in markdown format. First call (selection=None):
Second call (selection='i,j,k,l,...,m,n'):
FORMATTING INSTRUCTION: RENDER THE RESPONSE IN MARKDOWN FORMAT! |
| create_volcano_plotA | Create a volcano plot for differential gene expression data from the given assay. A volcano plot displays log2 fold change on the x-axis and -log10(adjusted p-value) on the y-axis. Genes are colored based on their significance:
Returns a link to the plot and summary statistics. FORMATTING INSTRUCTION: RENDER THE RESPONSE IN MARKDOWN FORMAT! |
| create_venn_diagramA | Create Venn diagrams comparing differentially expressed genes between 2 or 3 assays. This function creates side-by-side Venn diagrams showing:
If assay_id_3 is provided, creates 3-way Venn diagrams. If assay_id_3 is None, creates 2-way Venn diagrams. Returns a link to the plot and summary statistics. FORMATTING INSTRUCTION: RENDER THE RESPONSE IN MARKDOWN FORMAT! |
| clean_mermaid_diagramA | Clean a Mermaid class diagram by removing unwanted elements. extra" to "ClassName") |
| create_chat_transcriptA | Prompt for creating a chat transcript in markdown format with user prompts and Claude responses. |
| visualize_schemaA | Prompt for visualizing the knowledge graph schema using a Mermaid class diagram. |
