Resolve up to 50 scientific names to GBIF backbone taxon keys in one call — the batch counterpart to gbif_match_species for checklist, inventory, and species-list workflows that would otherwise need one round trip per name. Each name is matched independently and results are returned in input order, one entry per name. A name with no backbone match yields matchType NONE (no taxonKey) instead of failing the batch; a per-name lookup failure yields matchType ERROR carrying that name's error message and, when the failure was classified, a machine-readable reason — the rest of the batch is unaffected, and the call as a whole still succeeds. When a queried name is a synonym, taxonKey is the accepted taxon it resolves to and matchedTaxonKey carries the synonym's own key. Common names are not supported — use gbif_search_species for vernacular searches. Below confidence 80, review the match.

Scientific names to match against the GBIF backbone. 1–50 per call, matched in parallel.

A scientific name to match, e.g. "Panthera leo".

When true, require an exact match for every name (no fuzzy matching). When false (default), GBIF applies fuzzy matching to tolerate minor misspellings.

Failure message when matchType is ERROR. Absent otherwise.

EXACT, FUZZY, or HIGHERRANK for a match; NONE when GBIF found no usable match; ERROR when the lookup itself failed for this name (see error).

Backbone key of the name that actually matched. Present only when it differs from taxonKey — that is, when a synonym was resolved to its accepted taxon.

The input name this entry corresponds to.

Taxonomic rank of the matched taxon.

Machine-readable failure identifier when matchType is ERROR — e.g. invalid_filter when GBIF rejected a supplied value. Absent when the failure carried no classification, and absent on every non-ERROR entry.

Full matched scientific name with authorship. Absent when unmatched.

Taxonomic status: ACCEPTED, SYNONYM, or DOUBTFUL.

GBIF backbone taxon key to pass to gbif_search_occurrences, gbif_count_occurrences, and gbif_occurrence_facets — the accepted taxon's key when this name is a synonym, otherwise the matched taxon's own key. Absent when matchType is NONE or ERROR.

Bulk Match Species Names

Count occurrences matching a taxon + location filter without fetching records. Use for quick totals ("how many Aves records in Sweden?") or before deciding whether to paginate a full search. Accepts taxonKey, country (uppercase ISO 3166-1 alpha-2), publishingCountry, stateProvince, isGeoreferenced, datasetKey, year, occurrenceStatus, and iucnRedListCategory. Counts sightings only by default, matching gbif_search_occurrences — GBIF also indexes absence records, and for some taxa they are the overwhelming majority. A count above 100,001 is the signal to partition rather than page: gbif_search_occurrences cannot reach past that offset, so split the query by DATASET_KEY via gbif_occurrence_facets and search each dataset separately.

ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code, uppercase, of where the occurrence was recorded (e.g., "GB", "US"). Not the publisher's country — that is publishingCountry, and the two disagree on most records. Lowercase and alpha-3 forms ("gb", "USA") match nothing upstream, which is why only the uppercase two-letter form is accepted here. Take a value from a COUNTRY facet on gbif_occurrence_facets; an uppercase pair GBIF does not know ("XX") is rejected upstream by name.

Filter to a specific dataset UUID (8-4-4-4-12 hex) from gbif_search_datasets. Omit the field to count across every dataset — an empty string is rejected rather than read as no filter, because GBIF answers a blank datasetKey with the unfiltered total. The result is not the recordCount the dataset tools and the gbif://dataset/{datasetKey} resource report for the same key: that figure spans every occurrenceStatus, while this count applies occurrenceStatus below, PRESENT by default.

When true, count only georeferenced records. When false, count only non-georeferenced records.

Count only records whose taxon carries this IUCN Red List category: CR Critically Endangered, EN Endangered, VU Vulnerable, NT Near Threatened, LC Least Concern, DD Data Deficient, EX Extinct, EW Extinct in the Wild, CD Conservation Dependent. Records with no category are excluded when this is set.

Presence/absence filter. Defaults to PRESENT: an ABSENT record documents a survey that looked for the taxon and did not find it, so counting one inflates the total with the opposite of a sighting. Use ANY for both (GBIF's own default), or ABSENT for non-observations alone. Matches the gbif_search_occurrences default, so the two tools agree.

ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code, uppercase, of the organization that published the record — not where the occurrence was observed, which is country. The two differ constantly: of 60,290,950 records observed in GB, 1,548,928 were published by US organizations. Take a value from a PUBLISHING_COUNTRY facet on gbif_occurrence_facets. Lowercase and alpha-3 forms ("us", "USA") match nothing upstream, which is why only the uppercase two-letter form is accepted here.

State, province, or first-level administrative division, matched as a verbatim string — exact and case-sensitive. GBIF stores what each dataset recorded without normalizing it, so there is no vocabulary to guess from: "England", "England - Greater London", and "Greater London" are three distinct values, and "england" is none of them. Take one from a STATE_PROVINCE facet on gbif_occurrence_facets scoped the same way and pass it back unchanged — an unmatched value counts zero rather than erroring. Omit the field to count across every state or province — a blank or whitespace-only value is rejected rather than dropped, because GBIF answers one with the unfiltered total.

GBIF backbone taxon key from gbif_match_species. Matches the given taxon and all descendant taxa (subspecies, varieties, etc.).

Year or year range (e.g., "2024" or "2020,2024"). Both endpoints inclusive. Omit the field to count across every year — a blank or whitespace-only value is rejected rather than dropped, because GBIF answers one with the unfiltered total.

Total occurrences matching the supplied filters.

Present when the call failed. Absent on success.

JSON-RPC error code for this failure.

Machine-readable failure mode. Declared by this tool: `invalid_filter`: A filter was supplied blank or whitespace-only, datasetKey is not an 8-4-4-4-12 hex UUID, a two-letter country or publishingCountry code is one GBIF does not know, or GBIF rejected another filter value as malformed. Other values are possible when a failure originates below the handler.

Actionable next step for the caller.

Whether retrying may succeed.

Human-readable description of what went wrong.

Guidance when the count is zero under a verbatim stateProvince filter, larger than gbif_search_occurrences can page to, or narrowed by a presence/absence filter. Absent when none applies.

The presence/absence filter applied upstream — PRESENT, ABSENT, or ANY when no filter was sent. Says what the count covers.

Count Occurrences

Fetch full dataset metadata by UUID key — title, description, citation text, contacts, license, DOI, record count, numConstituents (sub-datasets), and temporal/geographic coverage. Use after gbif_search_datasets or when an occurrence record's datasetKey needs provenance detail. Contacts are capped by contactLimit (default 10); contactsTotal and contactsReturned report the full count.

Maximum number of contacts to include (default 10, max 100). Set to 0 to omit contact detail while still reporting contactsTotal — useful when citation, license, and record count are all you need from a high-contact dataset like eBird.

Occurrence records GBIF has indexed for this dataset, matching the figure gbif_search_datasets reports. Spans every occurrenceStatus: absence records — surveys that looked for a taxon and did not find it — are counted alongside sightings, and on some datasets they are the overwhelming majority. gbif_count_occurrences with this datasetKey answers the other question, defaulting to occurrenceStatus PRESENT, so the two figures are expected to differ rather than one being wrong. Fetched separately because the detail endpoint omits it; absent when that lookup does not return in time.

Contacts included in this response when the list was capped. Absent otherwise.

Temporal coverage ranges declared by the dataset. May be absent.

A temporal coverage range.

Get Occurrence Record

Fetch a single backbone taxon by its GBIF taxon key. Returns full classification, authorship, taxonomic status, vernacular name, descendant count, and publication reference. Use after gbif_match_species when you need the complete record rather than the match summary. When taxonomicStatus is SYNONYM, acceptedKey and accepted fields identify the accepted taxon. The extinct field is absent (not false) on most records — only present on explicitly flagged taxa.

Get Species Children

Return the parent chain for a taxon — from kingdom (or domain) down to the immediate parent of the queried taxon — as an ordered array. Each entry has its rank, canonical name, and taxon key. The array is returned root-first (kingdom → phylum → class → … → immediate parent of the queried taxon); the queried taxon itself is not included — call gbif_get_species for its own record. Useful for building taxonomic trees or understanding placement without navigating the backbone level-by-level.

Get Species Classification

Match a scientific name against the GBIF backbone taxonomy. Returns the best-matching taxon with full classification and a confidence score (0–100). This is the mandatory first step for any GBIF workflow — it returns the backbone taxonKey required by gbif_search_occurrences, gbif_count_occurrences, and gbif_occurrence_facets. When the queried name is a synonym, taxonKey is the accepted taxon it resolves to and matchedTaxonKey carries the synonym's own key; occurrence counts differ sharply between the two, so pass taxonKey. Below confidence 80, the match should be reviewed. matchType NONE means no usable match was found — try removing the strict flag or broadening the name.

Narrow the match to a specific kingdom (e.g., "Animalia", "Plantae", "Fungi") to disambiguate names that appear in multiple kingdoms. Omit the field to match against the whole backbone — a blank or whitespace-only value is rejected rather than dropped, because GBIF answers one with the undisambiguated match, which is indistinguishable from a match that honored the kingdom.

Scientific name to match. Examples: "Parus major", "Agaricus bisporus", "Homo sapiens". Fuzzy matching handles minor spelling variations. Common names are not supported — use gbif_search_species for vernacular name searches.

Expected taxonomic rank. Use to avoid matching a genus when you expect a species.

Match confidence score 0–100. Below 80 warrants review.

JSON-RPC error code for this failure.

Match Species Name

Aggregate occurrence counts across a dimension (COUNTRY, STATE_PROVINCE, YEAR, BASIS_OF_RECORD, DATASET_KEY, KINGDOM_KEY, etc.). Returns one page of facet values ranked by count descending — the top facetLimit at facetOffset 0, a later slice of the same ranking past that. No record payloads returned. Core tool for distribution analysis and trend queries: "which countries have the most records for this species?", "how has observation volume changed since 2010?". Scope the aggregation with taxonKey, country (uppercase ISO 3166-1 alpha-2), publishingCountry, stateProvince, year, geometry, basisOfRecord, datasetKey, occurrenceStatus, or iucnRedListCategory filters. Also the way to split a result set too large for gbif_search_occurrences to page (offset+limit caps at 100,001): facet by DATASET_KEY, then search each datasetKey on its own. Aggregates sightings only by default, matching gbif_search_occurrences and gbif_count_occurrences; to measure the presence/absence split itself, pass facet OCCURRENCE_STATUS with occurrenceStatus ANY.

Scope to a specific basis of record.

ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code, uppercase, of where the occurrence was recorded, to scope to one country. Not the publisher's country — that is publishingCountry, and the two disagree on most records. Scope to one country, or pass back a value this tool returned under facet COUNTRY to drill into that bucket. Lowercase and alpha-3 forms ("gb", "USA") match nothing upstream, which is why only the uppercase two-letter form is accepted here.

Scope the aggregation to a single dataset by its GBIF dataset UUID (8-4-4-4-12 hex). Obtain one from gbif_search_datasets, gbif_get_dataset, a DATASET_KEY facet, or the datasetKey field on an occurrence record. Omit the field to aggregate across every dataset — an empty string is rejected rather than read as no scope, because GBIF answers a blank datasetKey with the unfiltered aggregation.

Dimension to aggregate by (e.g., COUNTRY, YEAR, BASIS_OF_RECORD, SPECIES_KEY, OCCURRENCE_STATUS, IUCN_RED_LIST_CATEGORY). DATASET_KEY is the dimension to split on when a result set is too large to page: every occurrence carries exactly one datasetKey, so its buckets sum to totalOccurrences with no gap and no overlap, and it has the cardinality to cut a large scope into pageable pieces. BASIS_OF_RECORD and PUBLISHING_COUNTRY are gap-free too and both have a matching filter on the occurrence tools, so either can drive a further split of a bucket still too large — but on that same scope they return 9 and 41 buckets against DATASET_KEY's 550, so neither replaces it as the first cut. A dimension a record can lack silently drops that record: faceting one 60,290,950-record scope by YEAR returned 224 buckets summing to 59,407,400, leaving 883,550 undated records in no bucket at all, and MONTH, STATE_PROVINCE, and SPECIES_KEY lose records the same way — stateProvince included, even though the occurrence tools can now filter on it. Sums are comparable only across the same occurrenceStatus scope.

Maximum number of facet values to return (default 10, max 100).

Zero-based offset into the ranked facet values, for paging past the first facetLimit values on high-cardinality dimensions like DATASET_KEY. Advance by facetLimit to fetch the next page (0, then facetLimit, then 2×facetLimit, …).

WKT polygon to scope the aggregation to a geographic area (e.g., POLYGON((8 47, 9 47, 9 48, 8 48, 8 47))). Coordinates are longitude latitude. Omit the field to aggregate everywhere — a blank or whitespace-only value is rejected rather than dropped, because GBIF answers one with the unfiltered aggregation.

Scope to records whose taxon carries this IUCN Red List category: CR Critically Endangered, EN Endangered, VU Vulnerable, NT Near Threatened, LC Least Concern, DD Data Deficient, EX Extinct, EW Extinct in the Wild, CD Conservation Dependent. Leave unset and facet on IUCN_RED_LIST_CATEGORY to see the whole distribution instead.

Presence/absence scope. Defaults to PRESENT so the aggregation counts sightings, not the surveys that looked and found nothing, and agrees with gbif_count_occurrences on the same filters. Use ANY for both — required to see both buckets when facet is OCCURRENCE_STATUS — or ABSENT for non-observations alone.

ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code, uppercase, of the organization that published the record — not where the occurrence was observed, which is country. Scope to one publisher country, or pass back a value this tool returned under facet PUBLISHING_COUNTRY to drill into that bucket. Lowercase and alpha-3 forms ("us", "USA") match nothing upstream, which is why only the uppercase two-letter form is accepted here.

State, province, or first-level administrative division, matched as a verbatim string — exact and case-sensitive. Pass back a value this tool returned under facet STATE_PROVINCE rather than a guessed one: GBIF stores what each dataset recorded without normalizing it, so "England", "England - Greater London", and "Greater London" are three distinct values, "england" is none of them, and an unmatched value aggregates zero records rather than erroring. Omit the field to aggregate across every state or province — a blank or whitespace-only value is rejected rather than dropped, because GBIF answers one with the unfiltered aggregation.

Backbone taxon key to scope the aggregation. Matches the given taxon and all descendant taxa (subspecies, varieties, etc.).

Year or year range (e.g., "2020,2024") to scope the aggregation. Both endpoints inclusive. Omit the field to aggregate across every year — a blank or whitespace-only value is rejected rather than dropped, because GBIF answers one with the unfiltered aggregation.

Heuristic continuation flag: present and true when this page returned a full facetLimit of values, so more distinct values may exist past facetOffset + facetLimit. GBIF exposes no total distinct-value count, so this is an estimate, not exact. Absent when the page came back short, which is the only proof the ranking is exhausted.

Occurrence Facet Aggregation

Search GBIF datasets by keyword, type, publishing country (uppercase ISO 3166-1 alpha-2), publishing organization, or hosting organization. The two organization filters answer different questions — publishingOrg matches the organization whose data it is, hostingOrg the organization whose installation serves it — and an organization key from gbif_search_publishers usually wants publishingOrg. Returns dataset title, description, license, record count, and DOI. Use to find the source dataset behind a set of records, or to explore what data collections are available for a taxon, country, or organization.

UUID (8-4-4-4-12 hex, lowercase — matched case-sensitively, as publishingOrg is) of the organization whose installation serves the dataset — not the organization that published it, which is publishingOrg. Most organizations publish through an installation someone else runs, so a key from gbif_search_publishers matches nothing here for them: of the first 25 GB organizations the registry lists, all 25 host no datasets while 13 publish one or two. Supplied together the two filters are intersected, not combined.

Number of datasets to return (default 20, max 1000).

Pagination offset.

ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code, uppercase, of the organization that published the dataset (e.g., "GB", "US", "DE", "SE"). Lowercase and alpha-3 forms ("gb", "GBR") match nothing upstream, which is why only the uppercase two-letter form is accepted here — unlike the country filter on gbif_search_publishers, which resolves either form. Take a value from a PUBLISHING_COUNTRY facet on gbif_occurrence_facets; an uppercase pair GBIF does not assign ("XX") is rejected upstream by name.

UUID (8-4-4-4-12 hex, lowercase — GBIF matches these two keys case-sensitively, so an upper-cased rendering of a real key matches nothing) of the organization that published the dataset — the organization whose data it is, and the question a key from gbif_search_publishers is usually asking. Not the organization that serves it, which is hostingOrg and matches a different set: Butterfly Conservation (0d72dd7f-6f05-46af-85c2-8b6e77ce5534) publishes 3 datasets and hosts none, while the National Biodiversity Network (07f617d0-c688-11d8-bf62-b8a03c50a862) hosts 984 — those 3 among them — and publishes 1. Supplied together the two filters are intersected, not combined, so the same key in both fields returns only what that organization both published and serves.

Free-text search across dataset title and description. Omit the field to browse without a term — a blank or whitespace-only value is rejected rather than sent, because GBIF answers a blank one with all 123,527 indexed datasets and a whitespace-only one with none, and neither is the search a caller who filled the field was asking for.

Filter by dataset type. OCCURRENCE for observation records, CHECKLIST for species lists.

Matching datasets.

A GBIF dataset with key, title, type, license, and record count.

Brief description, truncated to a 300-character preview. May be absent.

True when the description was shortened to the 300-char preview; call gbif_get_dataset with this key for the full text. Omitted when the dataset has no description.

DOI for citation. May be absent.

Dataset UUID for gbif_get_dataset chaining.

License identifier. May be absent.

Country code of the publisher.

Occurrence records GBIF has indexed for this dataset, spanning every occurrenceStatus: absence records — surveys that looked for a taxon and did not find it — are counted alongside sightings, and on some datasets they are the overwhelming majority. For the sightings-only figure, call gbif_count_occurrences with this key; it defaults to occurrenceStatus PRESENT, so the two figures are expected to differ rather than one being wrong.

Dataset title.

Search Datasets

Search 3.9B+ GBIF occurrence records with Darwin Core filters. Use taxonKey from gbif_match_species for reliable results — it resolves synonyms automatically. Accepts country (uppercase ISO 3166-1 alpha-2, where the record was observed), publishingCountry (the publishing organization's country — a different question), stateProvince, bounding box (decimalLatitude/decimalLongitude ranges), WKT polygon geometry, year range, month, basis of record, coordinate filter, and dataset key. Returns sightings only by default — GBIF also indexes absence records (surveys that looked and found nothing), and occurrenceStatus controls whether they are included. Pagination is capped at offset+limit=100,001 and GBIF offers no cursor or scroll, so a larger result set is covered only by partitioning it — facet it by DATASET_KEY with gbif_occurrence_facets and search each datasetKey separately. This server cannot download a result set in bulk; that needs the GBIF Download API with a GBIF.org account, or the GBIF snapshot on AWS Open Data.

Filter by how the occurrence was recorded. HUMAN_OBSERVATION covers citizen science. PRESERVED_SPECIMEN covers natural history collections.

Filter by coordinate uncertainty radius in meters. Range format: "min,max" (e.g., "0,1000" for sub-kilometer precision). Both endpoints inclusive. Omit the field to accept any uncertainty — a blank or whitespace-only value is rejected rather than dropped, because GBIF answers one with the unfiltered result set.

ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code, uppercase, of where the occurrence was recorded (e.g., "GB", "US", "DE", "SE"). Not the publisher's country — that is publishingCountry, and the two disagree on most records. Lowercase and alpha-3 forms ("gb", "USA") match nothing upstream, which is why only the uppercase two-letter form is accepted here. Take a value from a COUNTRY facet on gbif_occurrence_facets; an uppercase pair GBIF does not know ("XX") is rejected upstream by name.

Restrict results to a single dataset by its GBIF dataset UUID (8-4-4-4-12 hex). Obtain one from gbif_search_datasets, gbif_get_dataset, a DATASET_KEY facet (gbif_occurrence_facets), or the datasetKey field on an occurrence record. Omit the field to search every dataset — an empty string is rejected rather than read as no filter, because GBIF answers a blank datasetKey with the unfiltered result set.

Latitude range as "min,max" (e.g., "47.0,48.5"). Decimal degrees, WGS84. Combine with decimalLongitude for a bounding box. Omit the field to leave latitude unbounded — a blank or whitespace-only value is rejected rather than dropped, because GBIF answers one with the unfiltered result set.

Longitude range as "min,max" (e.g., "8.0,9.5"). Decimal degrees, WGS84. Combine with decimalLatitude for a bounding box. Omit the field to leave longitude unbounded — a blank or whitespace-only value is rejected rather than dropped, because GBIF answers one with the unfiltered result set.

WKT polygon for geographic filtering (e.g., POLYGON((8 47, 9 47, 9 48, 8 48, 8 47))). Coordinates are longitude latitude. Takes precedence over decimalLatitude/decimalLongitude. Omit the field to search everywhere — a blank or whitespace-only value is rejected rather than dropped, because GBIF answers one with the unfiltered result set.

When true, return only georeferenced records (those with coordinates). When false, return ONLY records without coordinates. Omit the parameter entirely to include all records regardless of coordinate presence.

Filter to records flagged as likely duplicates (true) or exclude them (false). Omit to include all. Note: GBIF does not expose a cluster identifier — only the membership flag. To de-duplicate, set isInCluster: false to exclude all clustered records.

Restrict to records whose taxon carries this IUCN Red List category: CR Critically Endangered, EN Endangered, VU Vulnerable, NT Near Threatened, LC Least Concern, DD Data Deficient, EX Extinct, EW Extinct in the Wild, CD Conservation Dependent. Records with no category are excluded when this is set.

Number of records to return (default 20, max 300).

Calendar month (1–12). Useful for seasonal distribution queries.

Presence/absence filter. Defaults to PRESENT: an ABSENT record documents a survey that looked for the taxon and did not find it, so including one would read as a sighting of the opposite. Use ANY for both (GBIF's own default), or ABSENT for non-observations alone.

Pagination offset. GBIF serves offset+limit up to 100,001 and rejects anything past it, with no cursor or scroll to continue from. To reach a result set larger than that, split it into per-datasetKey searches using a DATASET_KEY facet from gbif_occurrence_facets — gap-free and high-cardinality, unlike YEAR, which leaves undated records in no bucket — rather than paging deeper.

Scientific name filter. Less precise than taxonKey — does not match synonyms. Use taxonKey from gbif_match_species for reliable results. Supplying both does not narrow the search: GBIF combines the two taxon filters with OR, so the result is the union of the two, not their intersection. Omit the field to search every name — a blank or whitespace-only value is rejected rather than dropped, because GBIF answers one with the unfiltered result set.

State, province, or first-level administrative division, matched as a verbatim string — exact and case-sensitive. GBIF stores what each dataset recorded without normalizing it, so there is no vocabulary to guess from: "England", "England - Greater London", and "Greater London" are three distinct values, and "england" is none of them. Take one from a STATE_PROVINCE facet on gbif_occurrence_facets scoped the same way and pass it back unchanged — an unmatched value returns zero records rather than an error. Omit the field to search every state or province — a blank or whitespace-only value is rejected rather than dropped, because GBIF answers one with the unfiltered result set. Records carrying no stateProvince match no value, so this cannot partition a scope.

GBIF backbone taxon key from gbif_match_species. Preferred over scientificName — matches all synonyms automatically. Matches the given taxon and all descendant taxa (subspecies, varieties, etc.).

Year or year range. Single year: "2024". Range: "2020,2024". Filters by observation year. Both endpoints inclusive. Omit the field to search every year — a blank or whitespace-only value is rejected rather than dropped, because GBIF answers one with the unfiltered result set.

Search Occurrences

Search organizations registered with GBIF by name fragment or country. Returns organization key, title, and country — sufficient to chain into gbif_search_datasets as publishingOrg for the datasets an organization published, or as hostingOrg for the ones its own installation serves, or to understand who publishes data for a region. publishingOrg is the usual chain: most organizations publish through an installation someone else runs, so hostingOrg matches nothing for them.

ISO 3166-1 country code to filter organizations by country. The alpha-2 form ("GB") is canonical; unlike the country codes on the occurrence tools and gbif_search_datasets, this one also resolves the alpha-3 form ("GBR") and is case-insensitive, because the registry endpoint matches the parsed country rather than the string. A value GBIF cannot parse as a country errors rather than returning an empty list. Omit the field to search every country — an empty string is rejected rather than read as no filter, because the registry answers a blank country with all 3,561 organizations.

Number of organizations to return (default 20, max 1000).

Search Publishers

Search or browse the GBIF backbone taxonomy. Accepts scientific name fragments, rank filters, and higher-taxon constraints. Useful for exploring what species exist under a higher taxon (e.g., "list all families of Coleoptera"), for simple name-fragment searches, or when gbif_match_species returns too narrow a result. kingdom, family, and genus scope the browse to a higher taxon: each is resolved to its backbone key before the search runs, so the narrowest one supplied is what scopes, an alternative name resolves to the taxon it is a synonym of, and a name that matches no backbone taxon at that rank fails rather than returning the whole index. Names are capitalized as GBIF writes them ("Paridae", not "paridae") and are matched exactly, not fuzzily. Paginated — use limit and offset to walk through results.

Scope to a specific checklist dataset UUID (8-4-4-4-12 hex). Omit the field to search the GBIF backbone — an empty string is rejected rather than read as no scope, because GBIF answers a blank datasetKey with the unfiltered backbone result.

Scope the search to a family, by name — "Paridae", "Fagaceae". Resolved to its backbone key before the search runs, so an alternative family name lands on the taxon it is a synonym of ("Compositae" scopes to Asteraceae). Matched exactly and capitalized as GBIF writes it; a name that is not a backbone family fails rather than being ignored. Supplied with genus, it must be that genus's own family. Omit the field to browse every family; a blank or whitespace-only value is rejected rather than dropped.

Scope the search to a genus, by name — "Quercus", "Parus". Resolved to its backbone key before the search runs, and it is the narrowest of the three, so it is what scopes when kingdom or family is supplied too. Matched exactly and capitalized as GBIF writes it; a name shared across kingdoms ("Prunella", "Oenanthe") resolves only when kingdom is supplied with it. Omit the field to browse every genus; a blank or whitespace-only value is rejected rather than dropped.

Filter to extinct (true) or extant (false) taxa.

Scope the search to a kingdom, by name — "Animalia", "Plantae", "Fungi". Resolved to its backbone key before the search runs, and matched exactly: capitalize it as GBIF writes it, since "animalia" resolves to nothing. Supplied alongside family or genus it disambiguates that name rather than scoping on its own — "Prunella" alone names both a bird genus and a plant genus and resolves to neither. Omit the field to browse every kingdom; a blank or whitespace-only value is rejected rather than dropped.

Number of records to return (default 20, max 1000).

Pagination offset.

Name fragment to search for. Matches scientific and vernacular names. Omit the field to browse without a name term — a blank or whitespace-only value is rejected rather than sent, because GBIF answers a blank one with the whole 46,623,754-name index and a whitespace-only one with nothing, and neither is the search a caller who filled the field was asking for.

autopilot

Generate a CLAUDE.md / copilot-instructions.md that makes any AI self-managing forever. Writes a configuration file to disk — will overwrite an existing file at the target path. No auth required beyond a valid instance_id. The generated file instructs Claude, Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, or Gemini to automatically call session_start at window open, learn_from_attempts after every fix, and session_end before closing — without being asked. Returns the generated file content as a string and the path where it was written. Use style="minimal" for just the three hooks; style="full" for the complete ruleset with examples. One command. Every AI. Always on. Use setup_ai_memory instead if you want an interactive one-shot setup that also creates an instance.

Target editor (default: claude)

UUID of the cache instance.

Your project name (used in generated instructions)

minimal = just the hooks, full = full ruleset with examples (default: full)

Check the health of your AI Brain and get actionable recommendations. Reports: lesson count, context entries, last session age, open failures, quality score, effective IQ boost, stale index. Returns a prioritized list of issues with fix instructions.

UUID of the cache instance.

Absolute path to workspace root — enables package.json analysis for openclaw cross-promo (optional)

Bootstrap brain lessons from git history. Parses commit messages and infers fix/feature/refactor lessons automatically. Great for onboarding an existing codebase — run once and the brain instantly knows your team's accumulated patterns. Incremental by default: only processes new commits since the last run, so repeated calls are fast. Emits progress updates to stderr during long scans.

Git branch to parse (default: current branch / HEAD)

Only process commits since last run (default: true). Set false to reprocess all.

Brain instance ID

Max commits to process (default: 100, max: 500)

Path to git repository (default: current directory)

Only commits after this date, e.g. "2024-01-01" (optional)

READ-ONLY — no side effects, no writes, no external network calls. Predictive Pre-fetch Engine (PPE): given your current context, reads the CKG in your Redis instance to predict likely failures and return the highest-confidence fixes. "Pre-load" means results are returned inline — nothing is cached or persisted. Requires a valid instance_id (your Redis brain). No rate limits. Call at session start when working on a specific feature or debugging area. Set scope="org" to widen prediction across your whole organisation — surfaces cross-team risks ("failed 3× across 2 other teams") from the Org Knowledge Graph, so an incident in one team becomes a vaccine for yours.

What you're working on, e.g. "upgrading Keycloak from 21 to 24"

Brain instance ID

Scope: "instance" (default) = this brain, "org" = warnings from failures in other teams of your organisation, "org+commons" = plus public lessons. Falls back to "instance" without an org.

BM25+ full-text search over ALL brain data: lessons, context entries, session history, CKG nodes, roadmap items. Unlike smart_recall (which focuses on lessons + context), brain_search casts a wider net. Use when smart_recall returns nothing or when you want to find anything the brain knows about a topic.

What to search for

Get a value from a running cache instance by key. Returns the stored value (string or deserialized JSON object) or null if the key does not exist or has expired. Read-only — no side effects. Use cache_mget when you need multiple keys in one round-trip. Use cache_exists to check existence without retrieving the value. Use semantic_search when you need fuzzy/vector search across stored values.

UUID of the instance.

Cache key to retrieve

Optional org ID — if the direct key misses, falls back to the shared org namespace org:{org_id}:sem:{key}

Set a key-value pair in a running cache instance. Overwrites any existing value at the key — not idempotent for new data. Returns "OK" on success; returns an error if the instance_id is invalid or the instance is paused. Value can be a string or a JSON-serialized object. Optionally set a TTL in seconds (omit for no expiry). Use cache_mset instead for setting multiple keys in a single pipeline round-trip. Use cache_stream_set instead for caching LLM token streams (ordered string chunks).

Root Cause Analysis through memory: given a problem description, traces the causal chain from root cause through intermediate failures to the current symptom, then surfaces the exact solution that worked before. Read-only — does not modify any stored data. Requires prior learning: brain must have lessons stored via learn_from_attempts or brain_from_git. Returns an ordered chain of concepts with confidence scores plus the matching solution; returns an empty chain with a message if no causal path is found. Example: causal_trace(problem="auth breaks after restart") → "Root: k8s:namespace-terminating → keycloak:jwks-race → Solution: PollUntilContextTimeout 3min". Use recall_best_solution for direct topic lookup, syndicate_search for community patterns, and causal_trace when you have a symptom and need the full root-cause chain.

Optional: narrow search to these tags

Delete one or more cached context entries. Use when context is stale or you want to force a fresh analysis. Supports glob patterns: "file:*" deletes all file summaries.

UUID of the cache instance.

Keys to delete (supports glob)

Index local source files into the cachly semantic cache so AI assistants can use semantic_search to find relevant files instead of re-reading the whole codebase every time. Walks a directory recursively, reads each matching file, and stores a summary + path as a semantic cache entry (prompt = file path + content excerpt, value = relative path). Requires an embedding provider (OPENAI_API_KEY or CACHLY_EMBED_PROVIDER + key). Run once, then re-run after major refactors. TTL=86400 (24h) keeps entries fresh.

Absolute path to the directory to index (e.g. /Users/you/myproject/src)

File extensions to include (default: ["ts","js","go","py","java","rs","md","kt","swift"])

UUID of the cachly instance

Maximum number of files to index (default: 100)

Semantic namespace to store under (default: cachly:sem:code)

Characters to use as summary per file (default: 1200)

TTL in seconds for indexed entries (default: 86400 = 24 h)

Store a lesson AFTER any non-trivial task (deploy, debug, fix, decision); future sessions recall it. instance_id may be omitted; the configured instance is used — never guess one. If the topic already exists, the write is an UPDATE and REQUIRES `grund` (one line: WHY the previous version was wrong) — without it the update is rejected. A conflicting outcome triggers a contradiction warning. Example: learn_from_attempts(topic="deploy:api", outcome="success", what_worked="PORT 3095 SERVES WHISPER — nohup docker compose up -d", severity="critical")

Who is storing this lesson, e.g. "alice". Enables cross-author reuse tracking.

Commands that worked or failed (e.g. ["rsync -avz ...", "docker compose up -d"])

The SYMPTOM in the words someone would search for, before they knew the fix ("deploy stuck, rollout not finishing"). Plus error messages and root cause. Optional but high-value: it is what closes the gap between the question and the answer.

Prerequisites, e.g. ["node:>=20", "docker:running"]. A stale one flags dependent lessons for review.

Topic slug of an OLDER lesson this one refutes. The old one is suppressed in smart_recall and shows a "superseded" banner.

Files involved in this lesson (e.g. ["infra/deploy.sh", ".env"])

ISO date since when the FACT is true (vs. when written). Omit if unknown. A replacement sets gilt_bis on the old lesson (then shown as history). About the fact, NOT an age decay.

Optional sub-team scope, e.g. "backend". Only that group and admins see it. Independent of visibility.

One line: WHY the previous version was wrong, like a commit message. REQUIRED when the topic already exists; optional on first write.

UUID of the cache instance.

Did it work?

Service or system this lesson concerns, e.g. "prometheus", "auth-service".

"service" (default) for an application, "system" for infrastructure like prometheus or redis.

Impact severity: critical (blocks work/deploy), major (significant slowdown), minor (nice to know). Default: major.

Topic tags for filtering (e.g. ["bash", "deploy", "env"])

Short slug, e.g. "deploy:web", "debug:redis-tls", "fix:generate-series"

Who can see it: "team" (default) = all members, "private" = only via exact recall_best_solution, "public" = same as team for now.

What did NOT work (optional but valuable)

What solved it. LEAD WITH THE DECISIVE FACT (the number, address, command) in the first 100 characters — briefings truncate there.

List all cached context entries for this project. Shows what knowledge the AI assistant has already cached, so you can decide whether to recall existing context or refresh it. Returns: key, category, size, TTL remaining, and a content preview.

Filter by category (default: all)

overview architecture file_summary dependency thinking custom all

UUID of the cache instance.

Max entries to return (default: 50)

Recall the best known solution for a topic from past lessons. Call this BEFORE attempting any task that might have been done before. Returns the most recent successful lesson for the topic, with confidence indicator. ⚠ badge = lesson is >5d old (verify before applying). 🔴 = >10d old (likely stale!). Recalling a lesson resets its confidence clock to 1.0 (marks as recently verified). A superseded lesson shows a banner naming its successor; if the successor was deleted, the banner says so and the lesson counts as the best remaining answer. Example: recall_best_solution(topic="deploy:web") → returns the working deploy command.

Who is asking (optional). Required to read a group-scoped lesson: without it, group-scoped lessons answer like "not found". Team-wide lessons need no author.

UUID of the cache instance.

Topic slug to look up, e.g. "deploy:web". Supports partial match.

Retrieve previously saved context from the cache. Returns the saved content or null if not found. Use this at the START of any task to check if you already have relevant context cached, before doing expensive operations like reading many files. Supports glob patterns: "file:*" matches all file summaries, "arch*" matches architecture-related keys.

UUID of the cache instance.

The key to look up (supports glob pattern like "file:*")

Save context information to the cache so you can recall it later without re-computing. Perfect for caching: codebase overviews, file summaries, project structure, frequently-accessed data, or "thinking" results like dependency analysis. The AI assistant can use this to avoid re-reading the entire codebase every time. Overwrites any existing value stored under the same key. Returns { key, stored_at, ttl } confirming the saved context. Example: remember_context("project overview", "This is a Next.js app with...") then later: recall_context("project overview"). Use recall_context to retrieve; use list_remembered to see all stored keys.

Add a new item to the persistent project roadmap stored in the Brain. Items survive across sessions and editors — the roadmap is always up to date. Use for features, bugs, refactors, or any planned work. Call roadmap_list to see all open items, roadmap_next to get the next actionable item.

What needs to be done, acceptance criteria, context

UUID of the cache instance.

Milestone/epic this belongs to (optional)

Priority level (default: medium)

Tags for filtering (e.g. ["api", "web", "sdk", "infra"])

Short title of the task/feature (3–10 words)

List all roadmap items, optionally filtered by status, priority, tag, or milestone. Returns items sorted by priority then creation date. Called automatically by session_start to show open work.

UUID of the cache instance.

Filter by milestone (optional)

Filter by minimum priority (optional)

Filter by status. Use 'open' to see planned+in-progress+blocked (default: open)

planned in-progress done blocked cancelled open

Filter by tag (optional)

Get the single most important next actionable roadmap item. Returns the highest-priority in-progress item first, then planned items, sorted by priority. Call at session start to immediately know what to work on next.

UUID of the cache instance.

Filter by tag (optional)

Update the status, priority, or details of a roadmap item. Use to move items through the lifecycle: planned → in-progress → done (or blocked/cancelled). Also use to add notes/findings while working on an item.

Updated description (optional)

Item ID returned by roadmap_add or roadmap_list

UUID of the cache instance.

Progress notes, findings, or blockers (appended to existing notes)

Updated priority (optional)

New status for the item

planned in-progress done blocked cancelled

Updated title (optional)

Find cached entries that are semantically similar to a natural-language query. Read-only — no side effects. Returns an array of objects, each with: key, value, similarity_score (0–1), and namespace. Returns an empty array if no entries meet the similarity threshold. Requires OPENAI_API_KEY (or compatible provider) and the Speed/Business tier with CACHLY_VECTOR_URL. Embeddings are computed server-side and never leave Germany (pgvector HNSW index). Example: "find all cached responses about password reset" or "what did we answer about pricing?". Use cache_get for exact key lookup; use smart_recall for brain lessons.

Auto-detect the namespace from the query text using text heuristics instead of using the `namespace` parameter. Returns results only from the matching domain (code/translation/summary/qa/creative).

UUID of the cache instance (from list_instances)

Semantic namespace to search in (default: cachly:sem)

Natural-language query to find similar cached content

Minimum cosine similarity 0–1 (default: 0.82). Lower = broader matches.

Maximum number of results to return (default: 5)

Enable Hybrid BM25+Vector RRF fusion search. Passes `hybrid: true` and the query text to the pgvector API for higher precision on named entities. Default: false.

Save a session summary when you finish working. Records what was accomplished, files changed, and lesson count. The next session_start will show this summary as "Last session". Call this when ending a work session, before going idle, or before summarizing. Ambient Learning: if workspace_path is provided, reads git log since session start and auto-learns from commits.

Key files changed this session (optional)

UUID of the cache instance.

Number of new lessons stored this session (optional)

Brief summary of what was accomplished this session (2-3 sentences)

Absolute path to the project root (e.g. "/Users/you/myproject"). Enables Ambient Learning — reads git log since session start and auto-learns from commit messages.

Save a detailed handoff for the NEXT chat window / session. Stores: current progress, TODO list (done + remaining), changed files with descriptions, instructions for the next assistant, and any incomplete work. The next session_start automatically includes this handoff so the new window knows EXACTLY what happened and what remains. Call this BEFORE closing a chat window, especially if work is incomplete. This prevents the "continue" problem where new windows lose context, skip tasks, or produce broken code.

If work is blocked, describe what is needed to unblock (e.g. "waiting for API deploy", "needs user input on design")

Tasks that were fully completed (e.g. "Implemented brainSearch() in JS SDK")

Brief summary of what happened this session (architecture decisions, key findings, blockers)

Changed files with their current state — marks partial/broken files so next window knows to fix them

What was changed and what still needs work

File path relative to project root

State of this file

UUID of the cache instance.

Free-form instructions for the next assistant. Be specific: what to do next, what to avoid, what broke.

Tasks NOT yet done — the next window MUST pick these up

Single-call session briefing. Call this at the START of every session INSTEAD of multiple separate smart_recall/recall_best_solution calls. Returns: last session summary, recent lessons sorted by recency, relevant lessons for your focus area, open failures (topics with only failure outcomes), brain health stats, team telepathy (what teammates learned this week), predictive pre-warnings (if your focus area has known failure patterns), and memory crystals (compressed wisdom from old sessions). Also saves a session start marker so session_end can compute duration.

Your name or handle (e.g. "alice"). Enables Team Telepathy — filters YOUR lessons vs TEAM lessons from past 7 days.

Keywords for what you plan to work on today (e.g. "deploy infra api"). Used to surface relevant lessons at the top.

UUID of the cache instance.

Current AI provider (e.g. "claude-code", "copilot", "cursor", "windsurf"). Shown in the briefing header and saved so the next provider can see who was last active.

Absolute path to the project root. If no session_end was found (e.g. context limit hit), reads git log to reconstruct what happened since last session.

Semantically search cached context using natural language. instance_id may be omitted; the configured instance is used — never guess one.Instead of exact key matching, finds context by meaning. Example: smart_recall("how does authentication work") → returns cached auth architecture summary. Falls back to remember_context keys if no semantic match is found.

Who is recalling (optional). Counts cross-author reuse.

Files you are working on, e.g. ["src/auth/service.ts"]. Lessons learned around these files rank higher.

UUID of the cache instance.

Natural language query to find relevant cached context

Similarity threshold 0-1 (default: 0.78)

Store a lesson in a shared team brain so all team members benefit. Like learn_from_attempts, but REQUIRES an author name for attribution. Shows up in team_recall with "by <author>" so the team knows who learned it.

Your name or handle (required for team attribution)

Commands that worked

Relevant file paths

UUID of the shared team brain instance

What happened

Impact level

Tags for categorization

Topic in category:keyword format (e.g. "deploy:api")

What did NOT work (avoid this)

Recall lessons from a shared team brain, showing who learned what. Works on any shared instance (all team members using the same instance_id). Shows author, recency, and severity for each lesson. Use this to onboard new team members or find who knows about a topic.

Filter by author name (optional)

UUID of the shared team brain instance

Max lessons to return (default: 10)

Topic or keyword to filter lessons (optional)

Line number to start reading from (1-based, default 1). Ignored when path has a "#" anchor.

Relative path from repo root, optionally with a "#heading-slug" anchor (e.g. "guide/ultimate-guide.md", "guide/core/memory-systems.md#1-tldr-three-track-model")

Re-fetch the official Anthropic Claude Code docs and update the "current" snapshot without touching the baseline. Run this to update the comparison target before diffing. Takes ~5s (fetches ~1.2MB from Anthropic).

Semantic search across all production-ready templates by intent (e.g. "hook lint", "agent code review"). Different from get_example (exact name) and list_examples (category browse).

Max results to return (default 10, max 20)

Search query describing the template you need, e.g. "hook lint", "agent code review", "pre-commit typescript"

Search the Claude Code Ultimate Guide by topic, keyword, or question. Covers features, hooks, agents, MCP, skills, commands, and best practices. Use this FIRST for any Claude Code question instead of web search.

Search query — topic, question, or keyword (e.g. "hooks", "custom agents", "cost optimization")

Search the official Anthropic Claude Code documentation by keyword or topic. Uses the local current snapshot — no network call. Run init_official_docs() first.

Max sections to return (default 5)

Search term or topic (e.g. "hooks", "MCP authentication", "cost limits")


Audit AI applications and agents for security risks before commit, PR,
merge, or deployment. Produces deterministic findings with explicit
coverage, Security Concern Families, Scan Receipts, and Evidence Envelopes.

USE when a developer asks to:
- "check this for security issues"
- "audit this task before I push"
- "review this change for security problems"
- "scan this AI agent" or "scan this AI app"
- "check my LLM application"
- "security review this PR"
- "is this safe to merge"
- "check this before deployment"
- "audit this code for vulnerabilities"
- "run a security scan"
- "check for security risks before commit"
- "review this implementation before pushing"

Also use for:
- reviewing AI/LLM/agent source code for security
- validating AI code before merge
- checking an agent before deployment
- reviewing RAG or model integration security
- looking for unsafe AI source-code patterns
- checking AI-output-to-dangerous-action flows
- checking AI source-code secrets/security controls

DO NOT use for:
- actual LLM response/content verification (use verify_llm_content)
- tenant/RLS/cross-customer isolation (use scan_tenant_isolation)
- generic compliance questionnaires or compliance certification
- generic non-AI source scanning where no AI check applies

This tool performs static analysis only. It does NOT execute target code,
make network requests, or emit telemetry. BLOCK findings are advisory —
deployment enforcement is handled by check_deploy_security (not yet implemented).

Include tests/docs/examples in the scan. Default: false (production scope only).

Absolute or relative path to the AI application source code to scan.

Scan timeout in seconds. Default: 300.
