Tools

• get_descriptor ~163 tokens
  Get full detail for a MeSH descriptor by its ID (e.g. "D003920" = Diabetes Mellitus): its preferred label, entry terms (synonyms MeSH indexes under it), allowable qualifiers (subheadings like "drug therapy", "epidemiology"), and related see-also headings. Keyless.
• resolve_term ~181 tokens
  Map a free-text term or everyday synonym to its canonical MeSH descriptor(s) — the preferred heading to use when searching PubMed. Tries an exact descriptor match first; if none, falls back to a fuzzy contains match (flagged fuzzy). Keyless.
• search_descriptors ~242 tokens
  Search NLM MeSH descriptors by a disease/drug/concept term (e.g. "diabetes", "aspirin", "myocardial infarction"). Returns the matching MeSH descriptor IDs (Dxxxxxxx) — the controlled-vocabulary headings used to index PubMed. The core free-text-to-MeSH lookup. Keyless.
