- `ilo\_search\_indicators`: Search the ILOSTAT catalogue of \~1,200 indicator dataflows by keywords in the name or id \(e.g. "unemployment rate sex age"\). All terms must match \(AND, case-insensitive\), so start with 2–3 English words and drop terms if you get 0 results. Everyday and US wording is resolved to the ILO's own \(labor→
- `ilo\_get\_indicator\_metadata`: Structure of one ILOSTAT dataflow: dimensions \(in SDMX key order\), their codelists, the time dimension, the source's default selection and the data vintage \(last update at the ILO\). Use before ilo\_get\_data to know which filters exist. Does not return statistical values and does not list the codes th
- `ilo\_list\_dimension\_values`: Valid codes \(id + label\) of one dimension of an ILOSTAT dataflow — e.g. the country/area codes of REF\_AREA \(ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 such as BRA, plus X-codes for aggregates such as X01 World\) or the categories of SEX \(SEX\_T/SEX\_M/SEX\_F\) and AGE. Use \`search\` to resolve a name to a code \(e.g. search "Braz
- `ilo\_get\_data`: Statistical observations from one ILOSTAT dataflow, filtered by dimension codes \(filters, e.g. \{"REF\_AREA": \["BRA","ARG"\], "SEX": "SEX\_T"\}\) and period \(start\_period/end\_period, e.g. "2015"/"2024"\). REF\_AREA is required, maximum 30 areas per call — for broad panels, split areas into batches and/or pa
- `search`: Searches the ILOSTAT labour statistics \(≈1,200 SDMX dataflows: employment, unemployment, wages, working time, informality, SDG labour indicators\) catalog and returns up to 10 matching documents as \{ id, title, url \}, ordered by relevance \(an empty list means nothing matched\). This tool exists for th
- `fetch`: Returns the full document for an id obtained from \`search\`, as \{ id, title, text, url, metadata \}: \`text\` is the readable content \(Markdown\) and \`url\` the canonical public page to cite.
