Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| get_api_infoA | Metadata for the underlying LE TEEN College ROI API: description, license, attribution, DOI, docs URL, and the list of raw endpoints. |
| list_majorsA | List bachelor's-degree majors (19 broad categories and/or 115 CIP subfields) with lifetime-ROI stats: median/mean lifetime ROI (USD), % of programs that never break even, median break-even age, and AI-exposure band. Returns compact rows sorted by the chosen field. Use the returned slug with get_major for full detail. |
| get_majorA | Full lifetime-ROI record for one major category or CIP subfield by slug (e.g. 'nursing', 'computer-science', 'philosophy-and-religious-studies'): ROI distribution (p25/median/mean/p75), never-break-even %, break-even age, completion-adjusted and dropout ROI, graduates/programs counts, and AI-exposure detail. Accepts a plain name and will slugify it; use list_majors to discover exact slugs. |
| search_collegesA | Search the 500 largest-coverage U.S. four-year colleges that clear the positive-NPV envelope. Each row: 30-year NPV at resident and non-resident pricing, total cost of attendance, median earnings 10 years after entry, and break-even age. Filter by name substring, state, and control; sorted by resident NPV descending unless overridden. Use the returned slug with get_college. |
| get_collegeA | Full record for one college by slug (e.g. 'university-of-michigan-ann-arbor'): 30-year NPV at resident and non-resident pricing, total cost of attendance both ways, median earnings 10 years after entry, break-even age, IPEDS unitid, and FREOPP program coverage. Accepts a plain name and will slugify it; use search_colleges to discover slugs. |
| best_value_collegesA | Each U.S. state's best-value four-year colleges at resident pricing, ranked by 30-year NPV (top 15 per state). Pass a state for its full list; omit it for a nationwide summary (every state's top pick). |
| out_of_state_penaltyA | U.S. public four-year colleges ranked by the out-of-state penalty: how much 30-year NPV a non-resident gives up versus a resident at the same school. Includes both NPVs and both tuition figures per row. |

Scored across 7 tools
Each tool targets a distinct aspect of college ROI data (search, detail, majors, reports, API info) with no functional overlap. Even similar tools like search_colleges and best_value_colleges have clearly different purposes.
Most tools follow a verb_noun pattern (search_colleges, list_majors, get_college), but best_value_colleges and out_of_state_penalty are noun phrases. The inconsistency is minor and still readable.
Seven tools is well-scoped for a college ROI data server, covering search, detail, listing, and special reports without being excessive or insufficient.
The set covers all major access patterns: search colleges, get full college/major details, list majors, state best-value summaries, out-of-state penalty analysis, and API metadata. No obvious gaps for the stated purpose.
