name: teamcenter-plm description: Siemens Teamcenter PLM read workflows — search items, open BOMs, list datasets, verify SOA connectivity. Use when tracing parts, revisions, BOM impact, or datasets on released revisions.

Teamcenter PLM

Purpose

Operate a connected Siemens Teamcenter instance through native teamcenter_* tools (native platform MCP at clock-in). Search items, load revisions, open BOM windows, and list datasets without fabricating PLM identifiers.

When to Use

• User asks to find parts, assemblies, or revisions in Teamcenter.
• BOM impact analysis, where-used, or revision rule questions.
• Listing drawings, specs, or datasets on an ItemRevision.
• Verifying SOA connectivity after Integrations connect or when errors appear.

When NOT to Use

• SolidWorks PDM vault operations → solidworks-pdm.
• Jira/Confluence requirements only → jira / confluence skills.
• Write/release workflows not exposed by current tools — escalate to a human PLM admin.

Expected Outcome

• Search results with item ids, names, and revision hints.
• BOM children with revision rule noted (default Latest Working).
• Dataset lists tied to a known ItemRevision uid.
• Clear blockers when base URL, username, or vault password is missing.

Workflow

1. When connectivity is uncertain, call teamcenter_verify_connection.
2. Search before get: teamcenter_search_items with a concise query; then teamcenter_get_item with ids from results.
3. BOM is read-only: teamcenter_get_bom with parent ItemRevision uid and optional revisionRule.
4. Datasets on revisions: teamcenter_list_datasets with the ItemRevision uid.
5. Never log passwords — credentials come from Integrations (base URL + username + vault password).

Main tools

Tool	Use
teamcenter_verify_connection	Confirm SOA session
teamcenter_search_items	Query + limit
teamcenter_get_item	itemId, optional revisionId
teamcenter_get_bom	parentUid, optional revisionRule
teamcenter_list_datasets	parentUid

Examples

User: "Find part ABC-123 in Teamcenter."

Call teamcenter_search_items with query ABC-123. Summarize matching item ids, names, and revisions; offer teamcenter_get_item for one hit.

User: "Show BOM for revision uid xyz."

Call teamcenter_get_bom with parentUid xyz. Present top-level children and note the revision rule used.
