Server tool list (10)

Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.

get_indicator	Get official values for a common economic indicator — inflation, GDP growth, GDP, GDP per capita, unemployment, population, government debt, fiscal balance, current account, trade, FDI, and more — for any country. Returns the observations plus a full citation (source, dataset, series id, canonical URL, license, retrieval date) ready to cite in a report. Use ISO3 codes or plain country names. Start here for most questions; use search_indicators if unsure of the indicator key.
verify_stat	Check a claimed economic figure (from a draft, article, or memory) against the official statistical series and get a verdict: match, close, mismatch, or cannot_verify — with the official value, the difference, diagnostics for classic errors (wrong year, percent-vs-decimal, unit scaling), and a full citation for the correct number. Use this before publishing any economic statistic in a report, brief, or article.
get_series	Fetch any supported series by explicit id: 'worldbank/<WDI code>' (needs country), 'fred/<SERIES>' (US, needs server FRED key), or 'dbnomics/<PROVIDER>/<DATASET>/<SERIES>' (IMF WEO, OECD, Eurostat and more via DBnomics). Supports year filters and transforms (yoy, pct_change, index). Every response carries a full citation. Prefer get_indicator for common indicators.
search_indicators	Search StatCite's curated indicator registry (World Bank WDI + IMF WEO + FRED) by topic — 'inflation', 'debt', 'unemployment', 'poverty' — and discover additional DBnomics datasets. Returns indicator keys usable with get_indicator/verify_stat, with units and source notes.
country_snapshot	One call for a country's headline economic picture: GDP, GDP growth, GDP per capita, inflation, unemployment, population, current account, trade openness, FDI, life expectancy (World Bank) plus general government debt (IMF WEO). Each value carries its own citation. Ideal for country briefs and report openers.
inflation_adjust	Convert a nominal amount between years using official CPI: 'what is 100 (1995) worth in 2025 money?' Works for any country with CPI data (default USA). Returns the adjusted amount, the exact index values and formula used, and the citation. Annual-average precision.
fx_convert	Convert an amount between currencies using ECB daily reference rates (~30 majors, any date since 1999) or, for ~90 other currencies (BBD, XCD, JMD, KES, …), official annual-average rates from the World Bank — with the method and citations stated explicitly. Pass date='YYYY-MM-DD' for daily or 'YYYY' for annual-average conversion.
list_sources	The official sources behind StatCite (World Bank WDI, IMF WEO via DBnomics, ECB reference rates, optional FRED), what each covers, its license, and the attribution line to use when citing.
search	Search official economic statistics by free text, e.g. 'inflation barbados' or 'government debt japan'. Returns result ids that can be passed to fetch. Designed for deep-research connectors; for richer control use get_indicator / get_series.
fetch	Fetch full data for a result id returned by search (format: 'indicator/<key>/<ISO3>'). Returns the recent observations and the full citation as text.
