Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions

NameDescription
get_categoryA

Fetch a FRED category by its id (0 is the root of the category tree): its name and parent category id.

get_category_childrenA

List the child categories of a FRED category (use id 0 for the top-level categories). The primary way to walk the category tree downward.

get_category_relatedA

List the categories related to a FRED category — cross-links to sibling topics elsewhere in the tree, distinct from its parent/child hierarchy. Often empty.

get_category_related_tagsA

Given seed tags, list the tags that co-occur with all of them within a FRED category — refine a category browse by discovering adjacent tags. Optionally filter by search text; supports sort direction and a result limit.

get_category_seriesA

List the FRED series that belong to a category, with pagination metadata (total count, offset, limit). Supports ordering, sort direction, and a result limit.

get_category_tagsA

List the tags used by the series in a FRED category (the tag facets for browsing a category), with pagination metadata. Optionally filter by search text; supports sort direction and a result limit.

get_observationsA

Fetch a FRED series' observations (date/value pairs). Supports an optional date range, a units transform, aggregation to a lower frequency, sort order, and a result limit.

get_related_tagsA

Given a set of seed tags, list the tags that co-occur with all of them — use it to discover adjacent tags and refine a faceted search. Optionally filter by search text. Returns tags with pagination metadata.

get_releaseA

Fetch a FRED data release by its id (e.g. 53 = Gross Domestic Product): its name, press-release flag, and link.

get_release_datesA

List the publication dates of ONE FRED release (its calendar), with pagination metadata. Oldest first by default; supports sort direction, a result limit, and including dates that have no data yet (e.g. scheduled future releases).

get_release_related_tagsA

Given seed tags, list the tags that co-occur with all of them within a FRED release. Optionally filter by search text; supports sort direction and a result limit.

get_release_seriesA

List the FRED series published in a release, with pagination metadata (total count, offset, limit). Supports ordering, sort direction, and a result limit.

get_release_sourcesA

List the FRED data sources a release draws from (the reverse of get_source_releases). Returns the full unpaginated list wrapped as {count, sources}.

get_release_tablesA

Fetch a FRED release's table tree — the nested layout (sections, tables, and the series rows beneath them) it uses to present its series. Optionally scope to the subtree rooted at one element id. Returns the tree as structured JSON, with each element's children nested under it.

get_release_tagsA

List the tags used by the series in a FRED release (the tag facets for browsing a release), with pagination metadata. Optionally filter by search text; supports sort direction and a result limit.

get_releasesA

List FRED data releases (publications such as "Gross Domestic Product"), with pagination metadata. A browse axis parallel to categories. Supports sort direction and a result limit.

get_releases_datesA

List the publication dates of ALL FRED releases — a release calendar across FRED — with pagination metadata. Each entry names its release. Newest first by default; supports sort direction, a result limit, and including dates that have no data yet.

get_seriesA

Fetch metadata for a FRED series by its id (e.g. GNPCA, UNRATE): title, frequency, seasonal adjustment, units, observation date range, and popularity.

get_series_categoriesA

List the categories a FRED series belongs to (the reverse of get_category_series): given a series id, where it sits in the category tree.

get_series_releaseA

Fetch the release a FRED series belongs to (the reverse of get_release_series): given a series id, its publishing release.

get_series_search_related_tagsA

Given seed tags, list the tags that co-occur with all of them among the series matching a full-text search. Optionally filter the tags by text; supports sort direction and a result limit.

get_series_search_tagsA

List the tags on the series matching a full-text search (its tag facets, for narrowing the search down), with pagination metadata. Optionally filter the tags by text; supports sort direction and a result limit.

get_series_tagsA

List the tags attached to a FRED series (the reverse of get_tags_series): given a series id, what keywords classify it.

get_series_updatesA

List the FRED series updated most recently (a "what changed" feed, ordered by last-updated time), with pagination metadata. Optionally narrow to macro or regional series, or to a start_time/end_time update window (both required together, YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM in FRED's timezone).

get_series_vintagedatesA

List a FRED series' vintage dates — the dates on which it was revised or newly released, i.e. how the series looked at each point in time. Supports sort direction and a result limit.

get_sourceA

Fetch a FRED data source by its id (e.g. 18 = U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis): its name and link.

get_source_releasesA

List the releases produced by a FRED data source, with pagination metadata. Supports sort direction and a result limit.

get_sourcesA

List FRED data sources (the organizations that produce releases, e.g. the Bureau of Economic Analysis), with pagination metadata. Supports sort direction and a result limit.

get_tagsA

Browse or search FRED's tag vocabulary (keywords such as "gdp", "quarterly", "nsa" used to classify series). Optionally filter by search text. Returns tags with their group, popularity, and series count.

get_tags_seriesA

List the FRED series carrying ALL of the given tags (faceted discovery), with pagination metadata. Supports ordering, sort direction, and a result limit.

search_seriesA

Search FRED for series matching text. Returns the matching series along with pagination metadata (total match count, offset, limit).
