get_gene — Exact lookup of an approved human gene by its official HGNC symbol — returns the full authoritative record: approved name, locus type, chromosomal location, alias/previous symbols, gene groups, and cross-references (Entrez, Ensembl, UniProt, OMIM, RefSeq, UCSC, CCDS). Use search_genes first if you only have a name fragment or aren't sure of the exact symbol. Keyless.
search_genes — Fuzzy search across approved symbols, names, and aliases — e.g. "breast cancer", "p53", "tumor protein". Returns lightweight matches (hgnc_id, symbol, relevance score) ranked by score; call get_gene with a returned symbol for the full record. Keyless.
resolve_xref — Reverse-lookup: map an external database id to its canonical HGNC gene. "What gene is Entrez 672?" -> BRCA1. Accepts entrez_id, ensembl_gene_id, uniprot_ids, omim_id, refseq_accession, or ucsc_id and returns the same full record as get_gene. Keyless.
