search_resourcesSearch for educational resources (learning materials, courses, videos, etc.) using full-text search and metadata filters. Returns resources matching the query from the AMB relay. Only openly licensed resources are returned (CC0, Public Domain, CC BY, CC BY-SA); NC/ND, all-rights-reserved and unlicensed resources are left out. NOTE: the metadata filters (publisherName, creatorName, subjectLabel, resourceTypeLabel, educationalLevelLabel) are EXACT full-string matches against the stored metadata (case-insensitive) — not fuzzy or substring searches. A guessed spelling silently returns 0 results; use resolve_publisher to find the canonical actor spelling first. On a zero-match actor filter the response includes actorCandidates with similar spellings to retry with.
search_contentTopic search across ALL content types on the relay in one ranked call: educational resources (kind 30142), long-form articles/blogs (30023), wikis (30818), projects (30143), measures (30144), and NKBIP-01 publications (30040 indices + 30041 sections — scientific articles, books). Results are interleaved and ranked by semantic passage match, and each carries the matched passage ("snippet") when available — use it to answer the user, not just list links. Educational resources are returned only when openly licensed (CC0, Public Domain, CC BY, CC BY-SA); the other content types carry no license and are all included. This is the tool for DISCOVERY intent — the user wants materials to browse ("finde/suche/empfiehl Materialien zu X"): present the items. For QUESTION intent — the user wants an answer built from the content ("wie/warum/was hilft bei X?") — prefer search_passages, which returns quotable fulltext passages with citations; this tool then supplements the answer with browsable links. Each result carries eventAuthor (the Nostr signer who uploaded the event — often an aggregator) plus, for resources, creator/publisher (who actually made and published the resource); these can differ, so do not treat eventAuthor as the publisher. For full metadata (license, dates, complete entity lists) pass a result's naddr to get_resource. Publication facets ride inside the query string as NIP-50 field filters: append type:academic, doi:10.1234/abcd.5678, keywords:<term>, or partOf:30143:<pubkey>:<d> ("publications of a project") to the query — the relay resolves them server-side. When presenting results to the user, render each as a markdown link so they can open it directly — prefer sourcePage (the original external source page, present on most resources and on projects/measures/publications), then url, then naddr. For upcoming events on the same topic, follow up with search_calendar_events.
get_resourceRetrieve a single piece of content by naddr (preferred — pass a search_content result's naddr), d-tag identifier, or event ID. naddrs of ANY content type from search_content work (resources, articles, wikis, projects, measures, publications); non-resource kinds return the same shape as their search results. Bare identifier/eventId lookups (no naddr) always resolve the full educational-resource metadata (kind 30142), including creator/publisher and educational properties. Lookups are not license-filtered: a learning resource carries openLicense (true for CC0, Public Domain, CC BY, CC BY-SA — the open licenses that search results are currently limited to). When presenting the resource, render a markdown link the user can open: prefer its sourcePage (the original source page); fall back to url (the edufeed viewer) only when sourcePage is absent.
browse_subjectsList available subjects/topics in the educational resource collection. Returns subjects with their labels and resource counts.
browse_resource_typesList available learning resource types (Video, Course, Worksheet, etc.) with resource counts.
browse_educational_levelsList available educational levels (Primary, Secondary, Higher Education, etc.) with resource counts.
relay_statsGet information about all selectable AMB relays (default and extra), including supported NIPs, relay name, and description.
list_relaysList the configured AMB relays. defaultRelays are searched on every query; extraRelays hold different corpora (e.g. the OERSI aggregation) and are only searched when a search/get tool call passes them in its relays parameter.
relay_list_getGet a user's NIP-65 relay list (kind 10002). Returns read and write relays for the specified pubkey. If no pubkey provided, uses the connected signer's pubkey.
skos_get_vocabularyFetch and parse a SKOS vocabulary from its URI. Returns the concept scheme with all concepts organized hierarchically.
skos_get_conceptGet details of a single SKOS concept by its URI, including broader, narrower, and related concepts.
skos_searchSearch for concepts in a SKOS vocabulary. By default searches prefLabel, altLabel, hiddenLabel, and definition.
