Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| describe_measuresA | List the measures (with their source, pathogens, and region types) and the reliability flag codes. |
| describe_stateA | Coverage dates, flag thresholds, ED regions (HSAs), and wastewater sites for one state. |
| get_seriesB | Weekly values of one measure, latest published versions, with a reliability flag for every week. start and end bound the weeks returned (inclusive). |
| check_reliabilityA | Summarize recent data quality across hospital, ED, and wastewater sources, with plain-language caveats. |
| get_revisionsA | How one week's value changed across CDC releases: first value, latest value, and each change. |
| get_as_ofC | The series exactly as it had been published on a past date, for real-time backtests and audits. |

Scored across 6 tools
The tools mostly have clearly distinct roles: metadata discovery, state metadata, series retrieval, reliability summaries, revisions, and point-in-time snapshots. However, get_series, get_revisions, and get_as_of all return series-like values and require careful reading to choose correctly.
All names use snake_case and are generally verb-first, making the set readable and predictable. The verbs vary between describe, get, and check, and get_as_of is slightly less parallel than the other names.
Six tools is well-scoped for a focused public-health data server. Each tool covers a distinct stage of the workflow: discovery, retrieval, quality assessment, revision history, and historical backtesting.
The surface covers measure discovery, state metadata, weekly series, reliability caveats, revisions, and as-of queries, which is strong lifecycle coverage for this domain. A minor gap is the lack of an explicit list_states or region-enumeration tool, though agents can likely work around it.
