Tool catalogue

Find the tools available in your DataMaker session.

The connected server announces the authoritative tool names, arguments and response schemas. Catalogue coverage depends on the service, deployment and caller; this page groups common capabilities rather than claiming a fixed tool count.

Core metadata and generation helpers

ToolsPurpose
get_templates, get_template_by_idDiscover and inspect templates.
create_template, create_template_from_json, create_template_from_csvPropose or save template definitions.
generate_from_idGenerate using a saved template.
get_connections, get_connection_by_idDiscover database connections.
get_endpoints, get_endpoint_by_id, list_integrationsDiscover saved requests and systems.
get_scenarios, get_scenario_by_id, save_scenarioInspect or save reusable Python workflows.
get_scenario_environment_variablesInspect scenario configuration in the authorized context.
get_sets, get_set_by_idInspect reusable sets.
get_input_sets, get_input_set_by_idInspect input sets: columns, test cases and rows.
list_validation_flows, get_validation_runs, get_validation_statusInspect reviewed validation flows, results and evidence.
start_validation_runQueue a read-only validation of one eligible saved case.
list_datasets, get_dataset, dataset_preview, dataset_sample, dataset_statsInspect chunked data and bounded summaries.
list_plans, get_planInspect reviewed specifications.
list_masking_policies, get_masking_policyInspect masking policies and their field rules.
get_uploaded_fileGet a download URL for a file uploaded earlier in the chat.
flatten_jsonFlatten a nested JSON object into dotted keys.
derive_expectationsDerive reconciliation expectations from an extraction dataset.
create-skill, list_skills, get_skillWork with reusable agent instructions.
ask_userRequest missing information through the chat UI.

The metadata service includes selected generation helpers; other execution capabilities live on the execution services. Read the specific tool schema rather than inferring parameters from a similar REST route.

Plans and execution

The plan authoring service exposes create_plan and update_plan; update_plan patches an existing plan by block, and any edit to a plan's definition returns it to draft for re-approval. Execution services provide supported scenario execution, data jobs, schema discovery, masking and key-map workflows. See Plans, Data jobs and Masking for their lifecycle and approval requirements.

Plan runs are reported rather than started over MCP. The reporting tools are append_plan_run_log, record_plan_run_file, record_plan_run_delivery and complete_plan_run; the agent uses them to record what a run it is already executing produced. All four are on /mcp-exec/plan-run, and all but record_plan_run_delivery are also on /mcp-exec, so finding one there does not mean the run started from a tool call. Starting a run is a plan action.

Masking has three execution tools, and the difference between them is what they touch:

ToolWhat it does
dry_run_masking_policyRehearses a policy against sample rows you supply. Nothing is persisted, and the report names uncovered fields.
start_maskRuns the policy over a ready dataset as a data job, writing a new masked dataset.
unmask_valuesTranslates tokens back to originals. Only tokenize rules mint reversible values, and every call needs a human approval granted for that specific key map.

Writing a policy stays a human step in Masking: its rules decide what happens to real values, and an unlisted field passes through a mask job unchanged.

System tools

Registered system namespaces provide the corresponding capabilities:

  • SAP (/mcp-exec/sap): the service catalogue and entity-set discovery, a schema knowledge graph, filtered reads, single-record export (export_to_sap_endpoint), and authoring helpers - sap-connect, create-service-endpoint and create-template. The schema and authoring tools carry dialect-neutral names; their original sap--prefixed spellings (sap-create-endpoint, sap-create-template, sap-schema-search and the rest) are still registered as deprecated aliases, so prefer the generic name in new work.
  • Tosca (/mcp-exec/tosca): test cases, designs and Cloud execution evidence, native authoring with tosca-create-module and tosca-create-testcase, and the supported on-premises object operations.
  • Atlassian (/mcp-exec/atlassian): Jira and Xray Cloud discovery and test-management operations.
  • Signavio (/mcp-exec/signavio): process discovery, reads and summaries.
  • Other registered systems: inspect the connected catalogue for the supported surface.

Each namespace is also mounted at /mcp/{namespace} for existing external clients.

Read Connections for setup. A missing tool can mean the service is not connected, disabled or unavailable in that release; it does not justify inventing a tool name.

Check a call

Before execution, confirm the active project, target ID, row count and required inputs. Afterward, inspect the result and any pending approval or error. Long-running operations can return a job identifier that needs polling; a tool returning successfully does not necessarily mean the underlying job completed.

See MCP setup and Approvals.
