Jgs V1 Inspect

jgs-v1-inspect — Single-Element Deep Dive

When to use

Use when you need everything about one element in one dossier: type, structure, ports, relationships, allocations, stereotypes, tagged values, and requirement links.

Prerequisites

• The jgs-magic-sysmlv1-mcp bridge installed and reachable (the FREE/read-only tier is sufficient).
• A SysML v1 project open in CATIA Magic / MSOSA. You are a context-free AI agent executing the jgs-v1-inspect skill. Follow these steps exactly. This skill is read-only — never call enable_writes, begin_batch, or any create/update/delete tool.

Distinct from jgs-v1-impact (which assesses change blast-radius). This skill produces a complete reference dossier for one element.

Invocation: /jgs-v1-inspect <element-name-or-qualified-name-or-id>

Tool constraints — read before calling anything

• find_by_name is capped at 50 results (model-wide). If the count equals 50, warn and advise the qualified name.
• All the detail calls below are single-element and take element_id only (no scope arg): get_element, describe_element, get_element_structure, get_qualified_name, list_children (takes parent_id), get_ports, get_relationships, get_allocations, list_applied_stereotypes.
• trace_requirement takes requirement_id and only returns data for elements that are Requirements.

Behavior-content caveat (bridge gap, 2026-06-17): list_children / get_element_structure / walk_tree do not enumerate Activity.node/edge or StateMachine region/state/transition — a populated activity/state-machine reports childCount:1. When inspecting an Activity or StateMachine, do not report it "empty" from those tools; note behavior is detailed via get_model_metrics type counts or execute_groovy getNode()/getRegion().getTransition().

Step 1 — Resolve the element

• If the argument looks like a qualified name (contains ::), call mcp__jgs-sysmlv1__find_by_qualified_name({"qualified_name": "<value>"}) (exact, no cap).
• Else if it looks like a raw element ID, use it directly as element_id and skip to Step 2.
• Otherwise call mcp__jgs-sysmlv1__find_by_name({"name": "<value>"}).

Handle results:

• Zero: "No element named '' found. Try /jgs-v1-navigate to browse, or pass the qualified name (e.g. Pkg::Block)." Stop.
• One: use its ID as element_id.
• Multiple (2–49): list as [N] Type — QualifiedName (ID: ...) and ask which one. Wait.
• Exactly 50: list them and warn the result may be truncated; advise the qualified name. Wait.

Step 2 — Core identity

Call mcp__jgs-sysmlv1__get_element({"element_id": "<element_id>"}) and mcp__jgs-sysmlv1__get_qualified_name({"element_id": "<element_id>"}).

Capture: type, name, qualified name, owner.

Step 3 — Rich description

Call mcp__jgs-sysmlv1__describe_element({"element_id": "<element_id>"}) for documentation, stereotypes and tagged values, and mcp__jgs-sysmlv1__list_applied_stereotypes({"element_id": "<element_id>"}) for the applied-stereotype list.

Step 4 — Structure

Call mcp__jgs-sysmlv1__get_element_structure({"element_id": "<element_id>"}) (parts, properties, nested structure) and mcp__jgs-sysmlv1__list_children({"parent_id": "<element_id>"}) for direct owned children.

Step 5 — Interfaces

Call mcp__jgs-sysmlv1__get_ports({"element_id": "<element_id>"}) for ports and their typing.

Step 6 — Connections

Call mcp__jgs-sysmlv1__get_relationships({"element_id": "<element_id>"}) and mcp__jgs-sysmlv1__get_allocations({"element_id": "<element_id>"}).

Step 7 — Requirement links (only if the element is a Requirement)

If Step 2 reported the type as a Requirement, call mcp__jgs-sysmlv1__trace_requirement({"requirement_id": "<element_id>"}) for its satisfy/verify/derive chain. Skip otherwise.

Output Format

## Element Dossier — <Name>

**Type:** <type>   **Qualified name:** <qn>   **ID:** <id>   **Owner:** <owner>

### Documentation
<doc text, or "— none —">

### Applied stereotypes & tagged values
<list, or "— none —">

### Structure
- Children: <N> (<names…>)
- Parts/properties: <summary from get_element_structure>

### Ports
<list with typing, or "— none —">

### Relationships
<grouped by kind: Association, Generalization, Dependency, ItemFlow, Satisfy, Verify, Allocate…>

### Allocations
<from/to, or "— none —">

### Requirement traceability   (only for Requirement elements)
<satisfy / verify / derive chain>

Omit any section whose call returned nothing rather than printing empty headers (except keep Documentation and Ports as explicit "— none —" since their absence is itself meaningful).

Error handling

• Bridge not reachable: "jgs-magic-sysmlv1-mcp bridge is not reachable. Is CATIA Magic running with the bridge plugin active?" Stop.
• A detail call fails: note it inline under its section (e.g. "Ports: bridge returned no data") and continue with the rest.

What not to do

• Do not call any write tool or enable_writes.
• Do not pass a scope/package argument to the single-element calls — they take element_id only.
• Do not call trace_requirement on non-Requirement elements — it returns nothing useful.
