euroref — European government reference data

get_series

Read-onlyIdempotent

PAID ($0.003). Current value of a reference series — e.g. series=policy-rate, vat, minimum-wage. Every value carries its official source citation, effective date, last-confirmed date and staleness flag. Pass api_key if you have one (instant card checkout at /pricing); otherwise the response explains how to pay via x402. Every DE series is free to try. After a 200, bind get_changes (free poll) or register_alert (HMAC push; Register: $0 · Delivery after trial: $0.05) on this series so a later gazette does not silently retire the value.

  11. First observed

TDQS

A4.4/5.0
Behavior5/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already cover read-only/idempotent safety, but the description adds substantial context they cannot: pricing ($0.003), two payment paths (api_key vs x402), the free DE-series trial, and the exact payload contents (source citation, effective date, last-confirmed date, staleness flag). It even warns about a real failure mode ('a later gazette does not silently retire the value').

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Front-loads the cost and core purpose, and every sentence carries operational information. It is dense and slightly run-on with several parenthetical clauses, but nothing is truly wasted.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

An output schema exists, yet the description still tells the agent what a value contains, how payment works, and what to do after success. For a paid, open-world read tool, nothing an agent needs to call it correctly is missing.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents all three parameters, and the series examples in the description duplicate the schema's own example. The only added nuance is the role of api_key ('Pass api_key if you have one'), which is marginal; baseline 3 is appropriate when the schema carries the semantics.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource ('Current value of a reference series') with concrete examples (policy-rate, vat, minimum-wage). The word 'Current' implicitly distinguishes it from get_series_history and compare_series, so an agent can place it among siblings without opening the schema.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Gives clear follow-up routing — bind get_changes for free polling or register_alert for HMAC push after a 200 — which tells the agent how this tool fits into a workflow. It does not, however, explicitly name when to prefer this over get_series_history or compare_series for the primary read, so the when-not guidance is only implied.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
