get_agency_overview
Read-only
Get descriptive information for an agency: name, mission, website, data notes and DEF codes. It has no dollar figures; for spending use get_agency_obligations_by_award_category() (split by award type) or get_agency_budgetary_resources() (obligations and outlays by year).
toptier_code is the 3- or 4-digit agency code (e.g. '097' for DoD,
'075' for HHS, '080' for NASA). Shorter inputs like '97' are left-padded
to '097' automatically. Get valid codes via list_toptier_agencies().
fiscal_year defaults to the last completed fiscal year, not the current
one (USAspending's own default). The answer always carries fiscal_year.
