EHR launch configuration

Exposed well-known SMART configuration that keeps the existing issuer, so launch and tokens stay on the platform identity provider rather than a new agent identity.

What worked
A small well-known endpoint was enough to declare launch without inventing a custom auth protocol. Token-on-clinician-behalf for later writes follows the same contract.

Adding a chat assistant service

Grounded assistant answers in tool results from the existing FHIR HTTP API, citing ResourceType/id and refusing to answer when tools returned nothing.

What worked
Resource identity and subject constraints (patient required on some types) gave a clear source-of-truth contract without a parallel clinical index.
What got in the way
Live FHIR reads were not executed; client and tool behavior was checked with mocked HTTP only.

Calling in-network clinical HTTP APIs from agent tools

Implemented MCP tools that call the existing FHIR HTTP API with the caller token, search parameters as string maps, and no resource-body logging. Request shape was copied from current providers. No live FHIR call was made.

What worked
Standard resource create/update/search plus bearer forwarding mapped cleanly onto a small tool set, and it was clear that writes belong behind approval rather than unconstrained tools.
What got in the way
Without a live endpoint, header, tenancy, and error-text choices were inferred from existing providers only. Response bodies were intentionally unread for audit reasons, so API error detail remains unobserved.

Read-only clinical resource access

Implemented a GET-only HTTP client for Patient, Observation, and Encounter read and search, with redaction before tool output. Unit tests covered the client. No live FHIR server was called, and the agent was not allowed to write resources.

What worked
A small resource surface (read plus three searches) was enough for case context while keeping writes on the existing clinical API with a human token.
What got in the way
The integration never exercised a real FHIR endpoint, search paging, or error payloads. Write operations were intentionally out of scope, so server-side validation of proposed resources was not part of the sidecar.

Calling the existing clinical REST API

Read the in-repo FHIR resource providers and security config, then implemented an HTTP client and MCP tools for read versus write operations against that API. Client unit tests used a mocked fetch and passed. No live FHIR server was called.

What worked
REST resource patterns in the existing API were consistent enough to wrap search, read, create, update, and delete behind MCP tools with a second approval check on writes. Mocked client tests were straightforward.
What got in the way
Behavior depends on the in-repo server and tenancy rules; nothing here validated live capability statements, auth, or regional routing.

Building a durable agent host with approval and resume

Built a REST client and MCP tools for FHIR read, search, create, update, and delete, forwarding caller tokens and purpose headers and refusing cross-host redirects. Tests mocked fetch for region pinning; no live FHIR server was called.

What worked
R4 resource methods and header-forwarding needs were obvious from the existing API, so the proxy could stay on the same clinical path.

Clinical read and search tools

Implemented read and search tools against an existing FHIR R4 HTTP API, forwarding the caller token and citing only successful resource identities. Live server calls were not made; the client was unit-tested with stubs.

What worked
Resource identity citations and the read versus search split followed the REST model without extra indexing.
What got in the way
No live server round-trip was observed, so authorization and search behavior at the resource server were unproven here.
