Use these tools when search results feel sparse, or when you need richer process metadata than fetch returns.

Choosing among the lookup tools

  • Semantic + keyword, broadsearch (entry point) or search_processes (richer, mixed results)
  • You have a resource keyget_process_details (for processes) or get_hierarchy_node_details (for folders / groups / value streams)
  • Browse / orientget_process_hierarchy, then drill in with get_hierarchy_node_details or get_process_details
  • Drill further (what actually happened on a specific process) → get_process_observationsget_observation_citation. See Process observations for the full toolset.

Common chains

  • “What’s in this value stream?” → get_process_hierarchy (broad) → get_hierarchy_node_details on the relevant node → get_process_details on each leaf
  • “Pull every dependency of process X” → get_process_details with scope=["dependencies"] → walk the dependencies list with further get_process_details calls
  • “I have a resource key, give me everything” → get_process_details with the scopes you care about (tasks, linked_artifacts, history)
  • “What actually happens when this process runs?” → get_process_detailsget_process_observationsget_observation_citation on a representative deviation
