Tools

Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions

NameDescription
get_seriesB

Return the observation series for a FRED economic data series.

series_id is a FRED identifier (e.g. GDP, CPIAUCSL, UNRATE, DGS10). start / end optionally bound the window as ISO YYYY-MM-DD dates.

search_seriesA

Search the FRED catalog for series matching query keywords.

Returns the most popular matches with their frequency, units, and observation range so an agent can pick the right series_id.

get_series_latestA

Return the single most-recent observation for a FRED series.

Cheaper than get_series when an agent only needs the current value of a macro indicator.

get_release_calendarA

Return upcoming FRED data releases in the next days days.

Useful for macro overlay: knowing when the next CPI / GDP / jobs print lands lets an agent flag event risk on the calendar.

health_checkA

Local health probe. Never calls FRED.

get_server_infoA

Local server metadata. Never calls FRED.
