Tools as reported by the server

• get_code_sets
  Decode StatCan WDS numeric codes (e.g. frequencyCode 6 = Monthly, scalarFactorCode 0 = units). Corresponds to: GET /getCodeSets Without arguments, returns a summary: small code sets (scalar, frequency, symbol, status, ...) in full, and only entry counts for large ones (uom, survey, subject, classifi
• get_all_cubes_list
  Provides a complete inventory of data tables available via the API, including dimension-level details. Disables SSL Verification. Corresponds to: GET /getAllCubesList Results are paginated. Default returns first 100 cubes. Use offset/limit to page through. Prefer search_cubes_by_title if you know wh
• get_all_cubes_list_lite
  Provides a complete inventory of data tables available via the API, excluding dimension or footnote information (lighter version). Disables SSL Verification. Corresponds to: GET /getAllCubesListLite Results are paginated. Default returns first 100 cubes. Use offset/limit to page through. Prefer sear
• search_cubes_by_title
  Searches for data cubes/tables where the English or French title contains the provided search term (case-insensitive). Multiple keywords use AND logic (e.g., "tobacco smoking age" finds cubes containing ALL three words). Returns max_results matches (default 10) from offset. Returns {"data": [...], "
• get_cube_metadata
  Retrieves detailed metadata for a specific data table/cube using its ProductId. Includes dimension info, titles, date ranges, codes, etc. Disables SSL Verification. Corresponds to: POST /getCubeMetadata Start with summary=True (default). The summary strips noise (French translations, archive codes,
• get_changed_series_data_from_cube_pid_coord
  Get the data points of a series (by ProductId + Coordinate) that changed TODAY only. StatCan publishes at 08:30 ET; before then, or on a day the series did not change, this returns changed=false. For past releases use get_changed_cube_list(date). Coordinates are automatically padded to 10 dimensions
• get_series_info
  Resolve one or more {productId, coordinate} pairs to series metadata (vectorId, titles, frequency, UOM, etc.) in a single API call. Use this to find vectorIds before fetching data with get_sdmx_data or get_sdmx_vector_data. Pass one item or many — same tool either way. Each result already includes v
• get_changed_cube_list
  Get the list of data tables/cubes that were updated on a specific date (YYYY-MM-DD). Disables SSL Verification. Corresponds to: GET /getChangedCubeList/{date} Returns: List[Dict[str, Any]]: A list of dictionaries describing changed cube objects. IMPORTANT: In your final response to the user, you MUS
• get_series_info_from_vector
  Request series metadata (productId, coordinate, titles, frequency, etc.) by Vector ID. Use only when you start from a vectorId: get_series_info already returns this metadata for series it resolved. Disables SSL Verification. Corresponds to: POST /getSeriesInfoFromVector Returns: Dict[str, Any]: A di
• get_bulk_vector_data_by_range
  Fetches bulk data for multiple vectors filtered by *release date* range (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM), NOT by reference period. Use this when you want data released within a specific date/time window (e.g., "all updates released yesterday"). *** IMPORTANT: release date vs reference period *** - Use THIS tool w
• get_changed_series_data_from_vector
  Get the data points of a series (by Vector ID) that changed TODAY only. StatCan publishes at 08:30 ET; before then, or on a day the series did not change, this returns changed=false. For past releases use get_changed_cube_list(date). Disables SSL Verification. Corresponds to: POST /getChangedSeriesD
• get_changed_series_list
  Get the list of series (vectorId, productId, coordinate, releaseTime) updated today. Statistics Canada publishes this list after 08:30 ET; the endpoint does not accept a date. For a historical release date, use get_changed_cube_list(date) to list the cubes updated on that date. Disables SSL Verifica
• get_sdmx_structure
  Fetch the Data Structure Definition (DSD) for a StatCan table via SDMX REST. Returns dimension codelists with code IDs, names, and parent hierarchy. Use this BEFORE get_sdmx_data to understand the key syntax for that table. Each dimension entry includes: - id: dimension identifier (e.g. "Geography")
• get_sdmx_data
  Fetch filtered time-series observations from a StatCan table via SDMX REST. Filtering is done server-side — only the requested slice is returned. Call get_sdmx_structure first to see dimension positions and valid codes. Key syntax (dot-separated codes in dimension position order): "1.2.1" = Geograph
• query_sdmx
  Fetch SDMX observations and run ONE read-only SQL query over them server-side, returning only the query result. Nothing is stored — the data is loaded into a temporary in-memory table named `data` and discarded after the query. *** Use this for compute/compare/rank questions ("which province grew fa
• get_sdmx_vector_data
  Fetch time-series observations for a single StatCan vector via SDMX REST. Simpler alternative to get_sdmx_data when you already know the vectorId. Use get_series_info (productId + coordinate) to find vectorIds. Time filtering (use one or the other, not both): lastNObservations=5 → last 5 periods sta
• get_sdmx_key_for_dimension
  Return all leaf member IDs for a single dimension as a ready-to-use OR key string. Use this before get_sdmx_data when a dimension has many codes (e.g. 162 NOC minor groups, hundreds of CMA geographies). Avoids the need to call get_cube_metadata and manually parse a large JSON response. Leaf codes ar
