MCP tools · 5 exposed · ~585 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Tool Tokens
oe_article_get ~96

Fetch an OpenEvidence article by article_id. Use after history lookup or oe_ask returns an article ID. Inputs: article_id UUID, optional include_raw=false. Returns normalized status, question, and answer fields by default. include_raw=true may expose private thread context and must be used only with explicit user intent. Requires authenticated session. No side effects.

NameTypeReqDescription
article_idstringyes
include_rawboolean

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

oe_article_wait ~127

Wait for an existing OpenEvidence article_id to finish, then return normalized fields. Use after oe_ask with wait_for_completion=false, especially for long research questions that may exceed MCP host timeouts. Inputs: article_id UUID, optional timeout_sec, poll_interval_ms, and include_raw=false. include_raw=true may expose private thread context and must be used only with explicit user intent. Requires authenticated session. No side effects.

NameTypeReqDescription
article_idstringyes
include_rawboolean
poll_interval_msinteger
timeout_secinteger

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

oe_ask ~170

Create an OpenEvidence research question, not medical advice or patient-specific diagnosis. For long questions, prefer wait_for_completion=false and then call oe_article_wait with the returned article_id. Use original_article_id only for true follow-up continuity; omit it for fresh questions. Returns privacy-reduced created article data and optionally normalized completed fields. Side effect: creates a question/article in the user's OpenEvidence account through the local browser profile.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

oe_auth_status ~77

Check whether the saved OpenEvidence browser session is authenticated. Use before history/article/ask tools when auth state is unknown. Returns authenticated=true/false and basic account metadata when available. Requires the local browser profile created by npm run login:session. No side effects. Can fail if the profile is missing, expired, or network access fails.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

oe_history_list ~115

List prior OpenEvidence articles from the authenticated account. Use only when the user asks to inspect prior OpenEvidence work or needs an article_id. Inputs: limit, offset, optional search, optional include_raw=false. Returns a privacy-reduced list by default; include_raw=true may expose private prior questions and must be used only with explicit user intent. Requires authenticated session. No side effects.
