Why it is in this group
- The name "canvas_get_capability_statement" says "get": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it Fetch the server's FHIR CapabilityStatement — exactly which resources, interactions and search parameters this Canvas instance supports. Read it when a search is rejected and you want to know what the instance actually accepts. Canvas: GET /metadata.
Annotations the server declares

- readOnlyHint: true
canvas_get_patient_everythingFetch a patient's full record in one FHIR bundle — conditions, medications, observations, encounters and more.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "canvas_get_patient_everything" says "get": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it Fetch a patient's full record in one FHIR bundle — conditions, medications, observations, encounters and more. The fastest way to answer a broad question about one person, but it can return a large document, so prefer canvas_search when you know which resource you need. Canvas: GET /Patient/{id}/$everything.
Annotations the server declares
- title: Get everything for one patient
- readOnlyHint: true
canvas_readFetch a single FHIR resource by type and id.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "canvas_read" says "read": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it Fetch a single FHIR resource by type and id. Canvas: GET /{resource}/{id}.
Annotations the server declares
- title: Read one FHIR resource
- readOnlyHint: true
canvas_searchSearch any supported FHIR R4 resource in the chart.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "canvas_search" says "search": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it Search any supported FHIR R4 resource in the chart. Pick `resource`, then narrow with the standard FHIR search parameters. Nearly every clinical question starts here: Condition or Observation for a problem list and results, MedicationRequest for prescriptions, Appointment or Encounter for visits, DocumentReference for notes. Canvas: GET /{resource}.
Annotations the server declares
- title: Search a FHIR resource
- readOnlyHint: true
This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.
