    Use the catalog from an agent

    Every sheet here is also data. Agents connect over the Model Context Protocol at /mcp; code reads the static JSON under /api/v1. Both are public, read-only and free. Content is CC BY 4.0 — cite the url in each answer.

    // FIG. 08 · Tools

    • catalog_search

      Full-text search across business capabilities, macro domains, value streams, products, patterns, stacks and books. Returns ids, kinds, names and canonical URLs, best match first.

      query · kinds? · limit?

    • capability_get

      One business capability with its description, aliases, scope, CSDM note, ancestors, children and crosswalk (products that realize it, value-stream stages that use it, patterns/stacks/books that build it).

      id

    • capability_tree

      Without a root: every L1 with its macro domain and industry. With a root: that capability's subtree to the requested depth.

      root? · depth?

    • capability_crosswalk

      For a capability: which product capabilities realize it, which value-stream stages use it, which patterns, stacks and books help build it — including via its descendants (the `via` field names the descendant).

      id

    • value_stream_get

      A value stream with its trigger, outcome and ordered stages; each stage lists the capabilities it relies on.

      id

    • product_get

      A vendor product with its product capabilities and the business capabilities each realizes. Coverage and maturity are the catalog's judgment, not the vendor's claim.

      id

    • product_coverage

      For one or more products: per L1 capability, how many of each product's capabilities realize something beneath it. Use it to compare products or find gaps.

      product_ids

    • reading_path

      For a capability: the design patterns, reference stacks and books that help build it (directly or via descendants), with canonical links.

      capability_id

    • macro_list

      The eight macro domains (the executive layer) with their L1 capabilities, plus the industries the catalog covers.

      no arguments

    • export

      Capabilities shaped for import into another tool. Without l1_id: the download URL of the full file. With l1_id: that L1's subtree as CSV text, parents first. Profiles: csv (generic), servicenow (import set for Business Capability), leanix, ardoq, product-map.
