Usage analytics
See which tools your agents call, how often, and when, so you can understand usage patterns and catch anomalies.
Average 4.1/5 across 4 of 4 tools scored.
There is significant overlap between tools, particularly get_county_employment, get_labor_force_data, and get_unemployment_rate, which all provide similar employment/unemployment metrics at different geographic levels. The descriptions help somewhat, but an agent could easily misselect between these tools when seeking employment data.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with 'get_' prefix and descriptive suffixes (e.g., get_county_employment, get_cpi_data). The naming is predictable and follows the same convention throughout the set.
With only 4 tools, the set feels thin for a BLS employment and wages server. While the tools cover key metrics, there are likely missing wage-related tools (e.g., get_wage_data, get_occupation_data) that would be expected from such a domain.
There are significant gaps in coverage for a BLS employment and wages server. The tools focus heavily on employment/unemployment metrics but completely omit wage data, industry breakdowns, occupation statistics, and other core BLS datasets that would be essential for comprehensive economic analysis.
