Search UNESCO UIS indicators

uis_search_indicators
Read-onlyIdempotent

Search ~5,000 UNESCO UIS indicators by keyword or theme to find indicator codes and data availability for retrieving education, science, culture or socioeconomic statistics.

Instructions

Search the UNESCO Institute for Statistics catalogue of ~5,000 indicators — education, science/R&D, culture and communication — by keywords in the name or code, optionally filtered by theme. All terms must match (AND, case-insensitive), so start with 2–3 words and drop terms if you get 0 results. Everyday and US wording is resolved to the UIS's own (enrollment→enrolment, spending→expenditure, preschool→pre-primary, university→tertiary, graduation→completion, girls/boys→female/male); when that happens the response says so in vocabulary_notes. Returns indicator codes to use with uis_get_data, plus each indicator's data availability (years, record count). Searches the catalogue only — it does not return statistical values (use uis_get_data); ILO labour statistics live in the sibling ILOSTAT MCP server.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
limitNoMaximum results (default 20)
queryYesKeywords, matched against indicator name and code, AND between terms (e.g. "literacy rate youth")
themeNoRestrict to one UIS theme
offsetNoResults to skip, for pagination (default 0)
provenance_modeNoProvenance verbosity: 'concise' (default — source, url, vintage, retrieval date, citation, license) or 'detailed' (full canonical block with dataset, dimension key and notices)

Output Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
hintNoWhat to do next: how to narrow or page, or why nothing matched
offsetYesResults skipped before this page
showingYesIndicators returned in this page
has_moreYesTrue when more matches remain after this page
indicatorsYesMatching indicators, largest record count first; use code with uis_get_data
provenanceYesProvenance block of the portfolio. concise (default): source, source_url, data_vintage, retrieved_at, retrieval, citation, license, plus optional keys only when there is something to say (field_sources, notices, derived/derivation_note, revision); detailed: the full canonical block (dataset, dimension_key, notices, served_from_cache, ...). retrieval is the origin diagnostic of this call — requests made to the UIS Data API, attempts including retries, anomalies overcome (timeout, network, rate_limited, http_5xx, http_4xx, malformed_body) and unstable (true when anything had to be retried: treat the figures as obtained with difficulty); null when nothing was fetched from the UIS (catalogue or cached answer)
attributionYesSource URLs the figures came from (the provenance source_url of each block), for linking the citation
next_offsetNoOffset for the next page; present only when has_more is true
total_matchesYesIndicators matching all terms, across every page
vocabulary_notesNoTranslations applied from everyday or US wording to UIS terms (e.g. enrollment → enrolment)

      Added value: +"Provenance block (contract v1.1). concise (default): source, source_url, data_vintage, retrieved_at, retrieval, citation, license; detailed: the full canonical block (dataset, dimension_key, notices, served_from_cache, ...). retrieval is the origin diagnostic of this call — requests made to the UIS Data API, attempts including retries, anomalies overcome (timeout, network, rate_limited, http_5xx, http_4xx, malformed_body) and unstable (true when anything had to be retried: treat the figures as obtained with difficulty); null when nothing was fetched from the UIS (catalogue or cached answer)"

A4.3/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly/idempotent/non-destructive/openWorld=false, but the description adds genuinely non-obvious behavior: everyday and US wording is silently resolved to UIS terms (enrollment→enrolment, spending→expenditure) with the substitution disclosed in vocabulary_notes. That is valuable transparency an agent could not infer from any structured field.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

Dense but every sentence carries information: scope first, query mechanics, synonym resolution, return contents, then boundaries. No redundancy despite the length.

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 and the description still pre-announces what matters for chaining — indicator codes for uis_get_data, data availability (years, record count), and vocabulary_notes. Nothing an agent needs to call or follow up on 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% and enum values for theme and provenance_mode are fully documented in the schema, so the description adds little: it restates the AND/case-insensitive matching already in the query parameter's description. limit, offset and provenance_mode semantics are left entirely to the schema — appropriate, but no added value.

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?

Specific verb+resource with scope (~5,000 indicators across education, science/R&D, culture and communication) and clear differentiation from siblings: it searches the catalogue but returns no statistical values, and ILO labour data belongs to the ILOSTAT server. An agent can immediately tell this apart from uis_get_data.

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?

Explicit routing: 'use uis_get_data' for values, ILOSTAT for labour statistics. Adds concrete query strategy — start with 2–3 words, drop terms on zero results — and states all terms are AND-matched and case-insensitive.

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