GovTribe
MCP tools

Show document MCP tool

Preview a GovTribe user file or government file in an interactive document viewer. Optionally enable document annotations so the user can mark up a WebViewer document and submit normalized annotation state back through Interaction_State without modifying the source file.

Examples

Use this to open exactly one GovTribe file or shell artifact in the document viewer.

Preview a government attachment and jump to evaluation criteria

{
  "tool": "Search_Government_Files",
  "arguments": {
    "query": "evaluation criteria facility modernization",
    "search_mode": "semantic",
    "fields_to_return": [
      "govtribe_id",
      "name",
      "parent_record"
    ]
  }
}
{
  "tool": "Show_Document",
  "arguments": {
    "external_file_id": "<government_file_govtribe_id>",
    "query": "evaluation criteria",
    "scroll_to_query": true
  }
}

Preview a generated shell artifact

{
  "tool": "Show_Document",
  "arguments": {
    "shell_file_identifier": "sandbox:/mnt/data/compliance-matrix.xlsx",
    "query": "Section M",
    "scroll_to_query": true
  }
}

Payload patterns

Pass exactly one of user_file_id, external_file_id, or shell_file_identifier.

shell_file_identifier accepts any reference to a file from the current GovTribe AI conversation interchangeably: the file's name (for example compliance-matrix.xlsx), its /mnt/data/... path, its sandbox:/mnt/data/... path, its original file-... OpenAI file ID, or its cfile_... container file ID. Prefix and slash variations resolve to the same file.

Show chart

Render a read-only inline chart as a standard `trend`, `comparison`, or `leaderboard` view from structured rows and series data.

Render named marker series and routes in an interactive geo map, with optional clustering, marker styling, and marker selection that can be sent back to chat. Use it for interactive geographic review, not boundary-layer or heatmap analysis.
