Access alternative economic intelligence for 190+ countries using satellite nightlights, IMF forecasts, and AIS shipping signals to analyze GDP, inflation, recession risks, and more.

Instructions

EconSignalPulse: Alternative economic intelligence API covering 190+ countries. Combines World Bank Open Data, IMF Datamapper forecasts, satellite nighttime lights research, and AIS shipping signals to produce institu

Coverage: Global

Endpoints: • nightlights ($0.10): Satellite nighttime lights vs official GDP • gdp-tracker ($0.10): GDP tracker — history + IMF forecasts • inflation-signals ($0.10): Multi-source inflation signals • country-brief ($0.10): Full sovereign intelligence brief • divergence ($0.10): Official stats vs alternative data divergence • recession-signals ($0.10): Recession probability signals • frontier-intel ($0.10): Frontier and emerging market intelligence • trade-flows ($0.10): Global trade flow analysis • credit-stress ($0.10): Sovereign credit and banking stress • sanctions-impact ($0.10): Sanctions impact measurement

Behavior3/5

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

No annotations provided. The description includes cost per endpoint ($0.10) and mentions data sources, but lacks details on authentication, rate limits, error handling, or side effects.

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-loaded with purpose, but the endpoint list is lengthy (10 items). Each sentence earns its place, though could be slightly more concise.

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

Completeness3/5

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

Given 7 parameters and no output schema, the description explains endpoints and costs but lacks details on return values or how parameters like focus/lens affect results.

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 all parameters have descriptions. The description adds value by listing endpoints and costs, but does not enrich meaning beyond the schema for optional parameters like lang, period, etc.

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 clearly states 'Alternative economic intelligence API covering 190+ countries' and lists specific endpoints, providing a specific verb+resource that distinguishes it from sibling 'pulse' tools like macropulse or geopoliticalpulse.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives, no 'when not to use' or explicit context for selection among the many sibling tools.

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