PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH for "recent crime in Cambridge", "Cambridge 311 requests", "Cambridge building permits". Names: 311, crime, permits. Returns the latest rows (newest-first). Add a SoQL |
| Run a raw SoQL query against any Cambridge open-data resource (data.cambridgema.gov) by its Socrata id (8-char like "2z9k-mv9g"). Full SoQL: where/select/group/order/limit/offset. Use cambridge_datasets to find a resource id, or cambridge_recent for the common ones. |
