  • Analyze Dataset

    Compute

    Download one or more public datasets into the sandbox, then run a Python analysis script over them. Fetches via curl with structured failure classification (paywall / dns / timeout / etc.) so the agent can ask the user for a workaround. Chart outputs should follow Cortexa's standard scientific style and save both figures and chart-ready data under artifacts/.

    analyze_datasetView
  • Describe Connection Schema

    Your connection

    Inspect the schema of one SQL connection the caller owns (Postgres or BigQuery): tables and their columns, restricted to the schemas or datasets that connection allows. Reads structure, not rows.

    Reads a data source you connect — not public data.

    describe_connectionView
  • Edit Spreadsheet

    Compute

    Apply typed cell-level edits to an owned .xlsx workbook without regenerating it. Resolves the exact Library/session/analysis source server-side, applies set_cell or clear_cell operations with openpyxl, reloads the serialized result, rejects scope drift, and returns a versioned workbook plus a machine-verifiable cell diff.

    edit_spreadsheetView
  • Get Repository Commit

    Your connection

    Get commit metadata for a granted private repository and ref: the resolved immutable SHA, author, message, and GitHub URL. Use it to pin what a citation of the caller's code actually refers to.

    Reads a data source you connect — not public data.

    github_get_commitView
  • List Connected Repositories

    Your connection

    List the private repositories granted to a GitHub connection the caller owns, via the Cortexa GitHub App. Returns immutable numeric repository ids to use with the tree, search, and read tools. The app holds no write permissions.

    Reads a data source you connect — not public data.

    github_list_repositoriesView
  • List Repository Tree

    Your connection

    List source paths in a granted private repository at an immutable commit, so the agent can learn a project's structure before reading files. Bounded by the connection's allowed path prefixes.

    Reads a data source you connect — not public data.

    github_list_treeView
  • Read Repository File

    Your connection

    Read a bounded text range from a granted private repository. Resolves the ref to a commit SHA and returns an immutable permalink, blob SHA, exact line range, and text, so an answer can cite code that will not move.

    Reads a data source you connect — not public data.

    github_read_fileView
  • Search Repository Code

    Your connection

    Search code paths across the private repositories granted to a GitHub connection the caller owns. Search identifies candidate paths; read the file to ground an answer in commit-pinned content, since search URLs follow the mutable default branch.

    Reads a data source you connect — not public data.

    github_search_codeView
  • List Your Connections

    Your connection

    List the private data connections the signed-in caller is allowed to read — the ones they configured in Settings → Connections. Returns each connection's id, provider, name, allowed schemas, and last test status, never any of its contents. Returns an empty list when the caller has configured none.

    Reads a data source you connect — not public data.

    list_connectionsView
  • Query Connection (read-only)

    Your connection

    Run one read-only SQL statement against a Postgres or BigQuery connection the caller owns and return the rows as research data. Writes and DDL are rejected; Postgres runs inside a read-only transaction scoped to the connection's allowed schemas, and BigQuery enforces a per-query scan-byte ceiling. Results are row-capped and flag truncation.

    Reads a data source you connect — not public data.

    query_connectionView
  • Render Chart

    Renderer

    Render an inline chart (bar, line, scatter). Capped at 30 data points by design — the agent should summarize, not table-dump.

    render_chartView
  • Render Citation

    Renderer

    Elevate a single citation into an inline card. Best for the 1–3 most important sources backing an answer; less-important sources stay as inline [source:id] markers.

    render_citationView
  • Render Formula

    Renderer

    Render a LaTeX formula inline. Use for binding affinity, dose-response, or any key math that helps the answer.

    render_formulaView
  • Render Structure

    Renderer

    Render a molecular structure inline (PDB id, AlphaFold UniProt id, or remote mmCIF/PDB URL). Supports residue highlights with labels and colors.

    render_structureView

  • ChEMBL Search Molecules

    Research tool

    Search molecules by name, ChEMBL ID, or other criteria. Supports filtering and pagination. Note: some text-based filters (especially `pref_name__contains`) may legitimately return zero results because `pref_name` coverage is incomplete and may not contain common drug names. For reliable retrieval, prefer ID-based filters like `molecule_chembl_id` or use `ChEMBL_get_molecule` when you already have a ChEMBL ID.
