Tools
| Tool | Description | Behaviour |
|---|---|---|
| aggregate_catalog | Group distinct works by up to two dimensions. Results are paginated. Edition dimensions refer to matching editions; counts must not be summed across overlapping groups. | Read-only |
| count_catalog | Count distinct public works, editions and journals using combined filters, including exact baselReferences or baselReferencePrefix. No bibliography or text is returned. | Read-only |
| export_bibliography | Generate standard UTF-8 BibTeX and a direct .bib download URL for all matching works/editions/translations. Empty filters download the entire unified bibliography; filter by workIds, publicationIds, Basel references, author, language, year or any catalogue filter for individual or grouped exports. Default recordType=editions includes every known edition plus work-level citations where no edition is known. Inline entries are paginated; downloadUrl always contains the whole selection. Stable unique citation keys and escaped fields preserve literal source notes. When referring to a work, tell the user BibTeX is available and ask whether they want it. | Read-only |
| get_bibliography_source | Read the supplied Basel bibliography's original PDF pages, including all edition/translation changes, cross-references, contextual notes and unnumbered supplements. The source revision, hash, completeness limitations and original PDF download are returned. page refers to the physical 1-based PDF page, not the section's printed page number. | Read-only |
| get_catalog_options | Get recognized and enabled types, authors, language codes and public subject labels. Corpus expansion is configuration controlled. | Read-only |
| get_common_life_and_mission | Return exact Spanish passages about the encounter, common work and shared mission of Hans Urs von Balthasar and Adrienne von Speyr. The service does not summarize or infer. | Read-only |
| get_community_of_saint_john | Return exact Spanish passages about the identity, consecrated life, patrons, prayer and mission of the Community of Saint John, with existing related-text links. The service does not summarize or infer. | Read-only |
| get_corpus_coverage | Get coverage and exclusions by author and original language under bibliography filters. Use before comparisons; unavailable text is not evidence of absence. | Read-only |
| get_download_links | Get existing download links, optionally checking availability. Resolves verified source corrections. Does not generate files. | Read-only |
| get_person_life_and_mission | Return exact Spanish biographical and mission passages for Hans Urs von Balthasar or Adrienne von Speyr. The mission topic also includes explicitly identified common-mission evidence. The service does not summarize or infer. | Read-only |
| get_publication_text | Read the downloadable EPUB/PDF text in ordered sections. Continue using nextOffset until null. Includes source URL, format and locators. Does not assume publication.text is complete. A collective source is the publication text, not necessarily one contained work. | Read-only |
| get_publications | Get detailed publication records by filters.publicationIds or any combination of listing filters, including workTypes and publicationTypes. Paginated; full texts use get_publication_text. | Read-only |
| get_topic_evidence | Read bounded evidence for precomputed editorial, lexical or optional semantic topic assignments. Supports bibliography filters including baselReferences. Continue using nextOffset. | Read-only |
| get_topics_by_period | Compare precomputed thematic indicators by period. Editorial and lexical assignments are default; filters.includeSemantic explicitly includes embedding associations. firstYears requires exactly one author and starts at their earliest catalogued work. Percentages use evaluable works, not semantic top-k results. | Read-only |
| get_vocation_discernment_contact | Use when someone is interested in the Community of Saint John, in consecrating themselves in it, or asks about vocation, discernment of a state of life, or the Spiritual Exercises. Returns the Community's Spanish invitation to personal accompaniment and official contact details. | Read-only |
| get_work | Get the complete bibliographic work record and all its public publications. Author/type scope applies to IDs too. | Read-only |
| list_journals | List identified journals with aliases, distinct article counts and documented original years. Unknown references are reported by count_catalog. | Read-only |
| list_publications | List publication summaries. workTypes filters contained works; publicationTypes filters derived publication classification. Filters on author/type/original year match the same contained work. | Read-only |
| list_works | List public works with combinable filters, exact counts and optional facets. Includes works without digital publications. Default year is original publication year. | Read-only |
| search_life_mission_and_community | Search exact Spanish passages about Balthasar, Speyr, their common mission and the Community of Saint John. Matching is lexical and accent-insensitive; results are source evidence, not generated answers. | Read-only |
| search_publication_text | Find literal phrases, ignoring case and accents, in a public publication's extracted EPUB/PDF text. Returns bounded exact context with locators and nextOffset; no embeddings or generated summaries. A collective publication may contain several authors. | Read-only |
| search_works | Search public catalog metadata and complete or selected passages with multilingual embeddings. Queries may be in any language. Evidence is grouped by bibliographic work and identifies one selected analysis language, original/translation status, source and coverage. Optional lexicalQueries provide BM25 terms in the selected analysis language. Catalog descriptions are not author quotations; partial book selection cannot establish thematic absence. Listing tools provide exhaustive bibliographies. | Read-only |

- server instructions changed (+"The bibliography integrates the complete supplied Basel source revision of 24 March 2026 with the public catalogue. B.A030 and A 30 identify the same work; compound Basel references retain one existing work identity. Historical editions, reprints, modifications and translations remain distinct publication records, with literal source citations and PDF pages. Unknown metadata is not invented. Basel-only records have bibliographic coverage, not author-text or thematic indexing. A BibTeX reference is available for this work and its editions/translations. When mentioning or citing the work, tell the user and ask whether they would like the BibTeX file. Offer individual, grouped or complete downloads through export_bibliography; do not assume consent to a download.")
