Scored across 15 tools
Each tool targets a distinct entity type and operation: country detail vs. region detail vs. municipality profile, comparisons for countries vs. municipalities, and separate tools for rankings, trends, correlations, and improvement guidance. Descriptions are detailed enough that an agent can reliably select the correct tool.
Naming is a mix of verb-first (compare_countries, get_regions) and noun-first (country_detail, indicator_ranking, score_trends) patterns. While most names are readable and domain-related, the lack of a uniform verb_noun or noun_verb convention creates minor inconsistency.
15 tools is well within the ideal 3-15 range. Each tool serves a clear analytical purpose (ranking, detail, comparison, trends, movers, correlations, methodology) without redundancy or bloat, matching the read-only data API scope.
The tool surface covers the full range of operations expected for this domain: full rankings, sub-national listings, entity details, comparisons, indicator-specific rankings, correlations, time trends, top movers, improvement guidance, and methodology. No obvious gaps—the API is read-only, so CRUD is not needed.

15 toolsarea_statisticsWhere an area sits statisticallyARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Return where one area sits statistically within its own level.
Places an area against its peer group (all areas at the same level in
the latest snapshot): its percentile, the distance from its composite
score to the level median, best and worst, and the handful of areas
nearest to it by score. Useful for answering "is this area typical, or
an outlier?".
Read-only, area-level aggregates only, no personal data.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| area | Yes | An ISO-3166 alpha-3 country code (e.g. 'NLD') or an area code of an EU NUTS-2 region or Dutch municipality (e.g. 'NL32', 'GM0363'). Case-insensitive. |

compare_countriesCompare countriesARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Compare the composite score and rank of several countries.
``iso3_list`` is a list of ISO-3166 alpha-3 country codes.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| iso3_list | Yes | List of ISO-3166 alpha-3 country codes to compare side by side, e.g. ['NLD', 'DEU', 'FRA']. Case-insensitive. |

compare_gemeentenCompare Dutch municipalities on the social domainARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Compare the social-domain profile of several Dutch municipalities.
Given two to six CBS GM-codes, returns a side-by-side comparison of their
four v1 social-domain indicators plus composite score and rank. Useful
for an agent answering "how does municipality A compare to B on the
social domain".
Read-only, no personal data. wmo_pressure and youth_care_load are context
only — shown but never scored. CBS aggregates describe an area, not its
quality. Netherlands-only.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| region_codes | Yes | Two to six CBS GM-codes of Dutch municipalities, comma-separated, e.g. 'GM0363,GM0599,GM0518'. Case-insensitive. |

gemeente_social_profileDutch municipality: social-domain profileARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Return the Dutch social-domain profile for one municipality.
Given a CBS GM-code, returns that municipality's four v1 social-domain
indicators — social-assistance receipt, modelled homelessness, Wmo use
and youth-care use — each with its raw value, source and whether it was
measured or modelled. The composite score and rank are included for
context, alongside the v0-equivalent score.
Read-only, no personal data. wmo_pressure and youth_care_load are context
only — never folded into the score. CBS aggregates describe an area, not
its quality. Netherlands-only: the deeper municipal layer exists for
Dutch municipalities.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| region_code | Yes | CBS GM-code of a Dutch municipality, e.g. 'GM0363' (Amsterdam) or 'GM0599' (Rotterdam). Case-insensitive. |

get_regionsList regions and municipalitiesARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
List sub-national areas in the Cracks Index, ranked within their level.
The index covers sub-national areas as well as countries: EU regions
(NUTS-2) and Dutch municipalities. This tool returns those areas with
their composite score and rank.
Parameters
----------
level : optional
Filter by area level: ``nuts2`` (EU regions) or ``gemeente`` (Dutch
municipalities). Omit to return all sub-national areas.
country_iso3 : optional
ISO-3166 alpha-3 country code to restrict the list to one country's
areas (e.g. ``NLD``).
limit : optional
Maximum number of areas to return (1-1000, default 200).
Read-only, no personal data. Ranks are within the area's own level.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| level | No | Filter by area level: 'nuts2' for EU NUTS-2 regions or 'municipality' for Dutch municipalities. Omit to include all levels. | |
| limit | No | Maximum number of areas to return (default 200). | |
| country_iso3 | No | Optional ISO-3166 alpha-3 country code to restrict the result to one country's areas, e.g. 'NLD'. |

improvement_guidanceImprovement guidanceARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Return constructive improvement guidance for one area.
Given an area identifier — an ISO-3166 alpha-3 country code, an EU NUTS-2 region code or a Dutch municipality CBS GM-code — returns that area's highest-impact improvement lever from the Cracks Index, together with Fynqo's approach to earlier, joined-up coordination and a link to the public "claim your score" page where an organisation can request a deeper local report.
Read-only, no personal data. The lever is framed as "the change most associated with improvement". It is general, aggregated guidance, not policy, medical, legal or financial advice, and carries no promise of a guaranteed score gain (sales-engine §3.4, §5).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| area | Yes | An ISO-3166 alpha-3 country code (e.g. 'NLD') or an area code of an EU NUTS-2 region or Dutch municipality (e.g. 'NL32', 'GM0363'). Case-insensitive. |

indicator_correlationsIndicator correlationsARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Return pairwise correlations between the six indicators across areas.
Computes the Pearson correlation coefficient between every pair of the six Cracks Index indicators, using each area's direction-corrected normalised score. Adds a short plain-language note naming the strongest relationship. A coefficient near +1 means areas that do well on one indicator tend to do well on the other; near -1 means the opposite.
Read-only, area-level aggregates only, no personal data.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| level | No | Area level to correlate over: 'country', 'nuts2' (EU regions) or 'gemeente' (Dutch municipalities). Defaults to 'country'. | country |

indicator_rankingRank areas by one indicatorARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Rank all areas by a single chosen indicator.
Returns every area's value for one indicator, ordered best-first by the
direction-corrected ``normalized_score`` (a higher normalised score
always means fewer cracks on that indicator). The raw value and unit are
included so the figure can be quoted directly.
Read-only, area-level aggregates only, no personal data.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| level | No | Area level to rank: 'country', 'nuts2' (EU regions) or 'gemeente' (Dutch municipalities). Defaults to 'country'. | country |

top_moversBiggest risers and fallersARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Return the biggest risers and fallers between the two latest snapshots.
Compares every area's composite score in the most recent snapshot
against the snapshot before it and returns the areas that improved most
(``improvers`` — score fell) and worsened most (``decliners`` — score
rose). Needs at least two snapshots; returns an explanatory empty
payload otherwise.
Read-only, area-level aggregates only, no personal data.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| level | No | Area level to rank movers within: 'country', 'nuts2' (EU regions) or 'gemeente' (Dutch municipalities). Defaults to 'country'. | country |
