Integration details

Description

3GPP Scout helps telecom engineers, standards delegates and consultants search its own index of public 3GPP specifications, meeting contributions (TDocs), decisions and company positions. Find a clause or recorded outcome, then check a short excerpt with its document number, version and source link. Review and confirm targets to follow a topic in your Scout account, with optional email digests. Requires a Scout account and uses its request limits. Coverage varies by release and working group; a proposal is not an agreed outcome. Purchases are not available inside the plugin. 3GPP Scout is an independent product and is not affiliated with, endorsed or sponsored by 3GPP, ETSI or any 3GPP Organizational Partner. 3GPP™ is a trade mark of ETSI registered for the benefit of its Members and of the 3GPP Organizational Partners.

Tools

27 tools agents can invoke

Fetch and parse one public 3GPP TDoc by number, then return capped excerpts. May download the source document and persist its parsed content in Scout's catalog. Usually completes within 60 seconds. Does not provide a whole-document export.
fetch_tdoc
Suggest specs, work items or meetings matching a topic the user wants to follow. Does not create anything.
find_topics_to_follow
Follow a topic for the signed-in user. Saves it to their Scout account and may send them email digests. Call only after the user confirms the targets.
follow_topic
Summarize a company's positions on a topic from its TDocs.
get_company_positions
Get metadata for one specification by its ID.
get_document_documents
Get recent changes for one followed topic.
get_followed_topic_updates
Get details of one meeting.
get_meeting
Get one organization's 3GPP participation summary.
get_organization
Read up to 10 clauses in one call, from one or several documents. Each clause comes back as `get_sections` returns it with `latest=true` (one version: the given version, else the newest of the given release, else the newest indexed), plus its sub-clauses as numbers and titles only (all of them up to 40, else the direct ones). Results are in request order and each has a `status`: a missing clause does not fail the call; it gets `nearest_sections`, the closest existing clause numbers. **Quota:** for REST and MCP this call counts as one request per clause (`requests_counted`), the same as calling get_sections once per clause. If fewer requests remain than clauses asked for, it fails with 402 before reading anything. **Excerpt limit:** each clause carries at most 2,000 words of spec text, cut like get_sections with `truncated=true` and `truncation_reason="word_limit"`; read the rest at `official_url`. **Dates for prior art:** each clause has `provenance` (3GPP archive upload time and approving TSG plenary of its version). `available_before` applies to every clause, like get_sections with `latest=true`: a clause that only exists in later versions gets status `no_version_before_cutoff`.
get_sections_batch
Read the text of specific sections of a specification, in short excerpts.
get_sections_sections_get
Get metadata and status for one TDoc by number.
get_tdoc
Get metadata, status and quoted proposals for up to 10 TDocs by number in one call.
get_tdocs_batch
List indexed 3GPP specifications with number, title, release and version.
list_documents_documents_get
List topics the signed-in user follows.
list_followed_topics
List what a meeting agreed, approved, noted or rejected.
list_meeting_decisions
List 3GPP working group meetings by group and date.
list_meetings
Get the table of contents of a specification.
list_sections_sections_toc_get
List TDocs for a meeting or agenda item.
list_tdocs
Match a company name to its 3GPP member organization.
resolve_organization
Search specification text and figures together. Use when a question may be answered by a diagram or a clause.
search_combined_search_combined_post

search_tdocs
Search 3GPP specification text by meaning. Returns matching clauses with spec number, version, section and a short excerpt. Use for "what does TS X say about Y".
search_text_search_text_post
Stop following a topic and delete it from the user's account. Cannot be undone.
unfollow_topic
Change a followed topic's name, targets or digest settings. Overwrites the previous settings.
update_followed_topic

How the directory, categories and Discoverability Score work.

Read the methodology

How do I improve 3GPP Scout's ChatGPT Plugin discoverability?

The levers are the listing surface agents actually read: names, descriptions, keywords, tool metadata, and registry health. Which lever matters depends on where discovery breaks, which is what continuous measurement shows.
