Indicator Catalogue

data_catalogue
Read-only

List every macroeconomic indicator FXMacroData publishes for a currency, with units, frequency, and coverage/freshness metadata. ALWAYS call this first when the user asks about a country's macro data — it returns the exact indicator slug strings to pass to indicator_query, release_calendar, and indicator_visual_artifact. Check coverage before calling indicator_query; stale, partial, or unavailable rows are not suitable for real-time carry or inflation analysis. Supported currencies (lowercase 3-letter codes): AUD, BRL, CAD, CHF, CNH, CNY, DKK, EUR, GBP, HUF, ILS, JPY, KRW, MYR, NGN, NOK, NZD, PEN, SEK, THB, TWD, USD. Access: USD is available without an API key; every other currency returns subscription_required with a subscribe link.

indicatorNoOptional indicator slug to limit coverage calculation, for example `core_inflation`. Use this when you already know the candidate series.
include_coverageNoInclude coverage/freshness rows with latest_available_date, coverage_quality, has_recent_data, and recent_observation_count. Leave true when deciding whether an indicator is usable before calling indicator_query.

  21. First observed

TDQS

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond annotations, the description discloses that the tool returns exact indicator slug strings reusable by other tools, warns that stale/partial/unavailable rows are not suitable for real-time carry or inflation analysis, and exposes the access model: USD is keyless while other currencies return subscription_required with a subscribe link. No contradiction with annotations.

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?

The core purpose is front-loaded, followed by usage guidance, a staleness caveat, and access information — each sentence earns its place. The supported-currency list is somewhat redundant with the schema, and the text is dense, but it remains well-structured and free of filler.

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?

Given a complete input schema and an output schema, the description covers what the tool returns, what to do with the output, when the output should not be trusted, and the access constraints. The subscription guidance and sibling routing make it fully usable without external context.

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 description coverage is 100%, and each parameter already has type, default, examples, and a detailed description. The prose adds marginal value by tying include_coverage to the downstream coverage check, but the supported-currency list duplicates the schema, so the description does not carry the parameter-semantics burden.

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?

The description states a specific verb and resource: 'List every macroeconomic indicator FXMacroData publishes for a currency' with explicit metadata coverage (units, frequency, coverage/freshness). It distinguishes itself from siblings by naming indicator_query, release_calendar, and indicator_visual_artifact as downstream consumers of the returned slugs.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

The description gives an explicit trigger condition — 'ALWAYS call this first when the user asks about a country's macro data' — and requires checking coverage before calling indicator_query. It also names the exact downstream tools, effectively routing the agent away from alternatives that expect pre-selected indicator slugs.

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