Integration details

Description

The Causal Mechanism Registry is an open, versioned vocabulary of the recurring processes that drive crises, from bank runs and debt spirals to famines, epidemics and the collapse of states. A model knows a great deal about these processes, but it does not use the same name for the same process every time, and it easily slides from one process to a neighbouring one. Each entry gives one process a stable identifier, a name, a definition, a scope, a boundary that says which neighbouring entry takes a case instead, and a test: what must be on record for the entry to apply. Use it to tell neighbouring processes apart and to see what evidence each one needs: an energy price rise is not by itself a supply shock; a falling currency is not by itself a sovereign funding crisis; high inflation is not by itself cost inflation. It is meant for researchers, students, analysts and writers who want to name a process precisely and cite the version they used. The server is read-only and needs no sign-in. It serves the published versions only (1.0.0 to the latest, currently 1.3.1, 191 entries) and defaults to the latest. Tools: search entries, read one entry in full with its versioned source address and citation line, resolve a display name or a retired identifier to the current one, list entries by layer and review state, list versions with their DOIs, and cite a version. Search and fetch forms are included for clients that expect them. Search covers all published entries; accepted entries rank first and every result states its review state. Limitations: the vocabulary describes processes. It is not a forecast or a recommendation, holds no market data, and says nothing about any country, market or instrument today. Entries and search are in English. Source: github.com/adenkarabal/causal-mechanism-registry. Licence CC BY 4.0. DOI 10.5281/zenodo.23248221 (all versions). Aden Karabal · built with AI tools

Tools

8 tools agents can invoke

Return the recommended citation line for a version, its version DOI (if it has one), the DOI that covers all versions, and the licence.
cite
Fetch one entry by identifier as text with its url and metadata. A thin wrapper over get_mechanism for connectors that expect a search and a fetch tool. Entries describe processes in general, not the present state of any country, market or asset.
fetch
Read one published entry in full: definition, scope, boundary, distinguishing test, related identifiers, phase roles and status fields, with its versioned GitHub address and a citation line. Does not filter by review state; the requested identifier always returns. An unknown or retired identifier is an error that names the replacement or the closest identifiers. Entries describe processes in general, not the present state of any country, market or asset.
get_mechanism
List entries with identifier, name, layer, kind and review state, optionally by layer and review state. The default lists every entry; with review=accepted the response states how many entries in review are not shown.
list_mechanisms
List the published registry versions with release dates, version DOIs and entry counts. The first listed with default true is used when a version is not given.
list_versions
Turn a display name, an identifier or a retired identifier into the current identifier (for example export_pressure becomes export_earnings_shock). If nothing matches it says so and returns the closest three candidates.
resolve_name
Search the registry; returns results with id, title and url. A thin wrapper over search_mechanisms for connectors that expect a search and a fetch tool. It looks in all review states and marks entries in review in the title. Entries describe processes in general, not the present state of any country, market or asset.
search
Search the registry by name, identifier or a word in the definition, scope, boundary or test. Returns matching entries with id, name, layer, kind, review state, name_test and the first sentence of the definition. A term matches the start of a word, terms shorter than 2 characters are ignored and listed in the note. An entry matching every term ranks first; if none does, the closest partial matches are returned and the note says how many terms they match. Each result states its review state. Entries describe processes in general, not the present state of any country, market or asset.
