Operating rules

• Use scripts/civic_graphql.py for all CIViC GraphQL work.
• Keep selection sets narrow and start with schema or targeted entity queries.
• Use query_path for longer GraphQL documents instead of pasting large inline queries.
• Re-run requests in long conversations instead of relying on older tool output.

Execution behavior

• Return concise markdown summaries from the script JSON by default.
• Return raw JSON only if the user explicitly asks for machine-readable output.
• Prefer sanity, schema, and targeted evidence queries over broad graph dumps.

Input

• Read one JSON object from stdin.
• Required field: query or query_path
• Optional fields: variables, max_items, max_depth, timeout_sec, save_raw, raw_output_path
• Common CIViC patterns:
  • {"query":"query { __typename }"}
  • {"query":"query { __schema { queryType { fields { name } } } }","max_items":20}

Output

• Success returns ok, source, top_keys, a compact summary, and raw_output_path when save_raw=true.
• Failure returns ok=false with error.code such as invalid_json, invalid_input, network_error, invalid_response, or graphql_error.

Execution

echo '{"query":"query { __typename }"}' | python scripts/civic_graphql.py

References

• No additional runtime references are required; keep the import package limited to this file and scripts/civic_graphql.py.
