Scored across 10 tools
The seven dataset_* tools map to genuinely different retrieval patterns: schema (columns), exact-match rows (row), substring search (search), multi-value ordered comparison (compare), aggregates (stats), ranked extremes (top), and attribution (provenance). dataset_row versus dataset_search is the only slightly blurry boundary, but the exact-equals versus contains distinction is stated clearly enough to choose between them.
Nine of ten tools follow a consistent snake_case, domain-prefixed noun_verb pattern (dataset_*, enquiry_*). submit_enquiry is the lone verb-first name, but it still reads predictably and signals the one side-effecting action.
Ten tools is a clean fit for a read-heavy dataset lookup plus a single submission workflow. Each tool appears to cover a distinct query shape or a required step of the enquiry pipeline, with no obvious redundancy.
The dataset surface covers schema discovery, provenance, exact lookup, search, aggregation, ranking, and comparison, so most read workflows are reachable. Gaps are minor: no explicit pagination or multi-column filtered listing, and the enquiry lifecycle stops at submission with no status/retrieval tool.
Available Tools
10 toolsdataset_columnsDataset columns and shapeAInspect
The columns, which of them are numeric, the row count and the provenance banner of the TelescopeCompareHQ dataset. Call this first to learn the schema.
Inputs: no named parameters.
dataset_compareCompare rows side by sideCInspect
The rows of the TelescopeCompareHQ dataset whose column is any of the given values, in the order given, for "X vs Y" questions.
Inputs: column (required), values (required).
dataset_provenanceWhere this data comes from, and how to cite itAInspect
The source, the date it was computed, the licence and the citation for the TelescopeCompareHQ dataset. Read this to attribute a figure correctly.
Inputs: no named parameters.
dataset_rowLook a row up by an exact keyAInspect
The rows of the TelescopeCompareHQ dataset where a column equals a value exactly (case-insensitive).
Inputs: value (required), column (required).
dataset_searchSearch the datasetBInspect
Rows of the TelescopeCompareHQ dataset whose cells contain the query (case-insensitive), up to 50.
Inputs: query (required), limit.
dataset_statsSummary statistics for a numeric columnAInspect
count, min, max, mean, median and sum of a numeric column of the TelescopeCompareHQ dataset (grouping commas and currency are handled; non-numeric rows are excluded and counted).
Inputs: column (required).
dataset_topRank rows by a numeric columnBInspect
The highest (or lowest) rows of the TelescopeCompareHQ dataset by a numeric column: "which is the most/least X".
Inputs: column (required), limit, ascending.
enquiry_describeWhat you get: an ENQUIRY with a human (not a purchase, not a guaranteed quote)BInspect
Read first. States plainly what submit_enquiry does on TelescopeCompareHQ: it starts an enquiry with human providers who quote directly. Nothing is bought, ordered or paid; no quote is guaranteed; it is free. Also returns who receives the details, the consent wording, and how the person confirms.
Inputs: no named parameters.
enquiry_fieldsThe questions the enquiry asksAInspect
Every field of the TelescopeCompareHQ enquiry: key, label, type, whether required, help text and the allowed options where there are any. Pass answers to submit_enquiry keyed by field key.
Inputs: no named parameters.
submit_enquirySubmit an ENQUIRY to human providers (two steps; not a purchase)AInspect
Submits an enquiry to TelescopeCompareHQ: NOT a purchase, NOT a guaranteed quote. Step 1: call with the answers (keyed by field key from enquiry_fields) and consent=true; it validates and returns a summary, the consent line and a confirmation token; show the person the summary and the consent line. Step 2: only if the person agrees, call again with the same answers, consent=true and the confirmation token; the enquiry is then submitted, and the person receives an email with a link they must click before any provider sees it. Consent means the person has read and agreed to: "By submitting you agree TelescopeCompareHQ emails you a recommendation and shares nothing else with anyone."
Inputs: answers (required), consent (required), confirmation.
